AuthenticID Announces HIPAA Compliance

AuthenticID’s Data Security and Privacy Practices Will Safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI)

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AuthenticID, a global leader in identity proofing and fraud prevention solutions, has announced that the company has now achieved HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) compliance within all AuthenticID products, demonstrating the company’s commitment to comprehensive data security for its customers.

“AuthenticID prides itself on effective and efficient data security and privacy, recognizing them as core elements of our identity verification platform.

As part of AuthenticID’s commitment to meeting all relevant HIPAA standards regarding both PHI and ePHI, among other assessments, testing, and mandatory employee HIPAA training, the company undergoes numerous annual external audits to ensure compliance.
