QNAP Storage Solutions Help Healthcare Organizations Achieve HIPAA Compliance
QNAP NAS provides medical institutions with an efficient, secure, and reliable data storage solution to safeguard medical data privacy and security.
HIPAA Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a critical compliance standard in the healthcare industry, designed to secure Protected Health Information (PHI) and ensure secure access, transmission, and storage of electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) while reducing the risk of data breaches. The regulation requires healthcare institutions and service providers to implement appropriate technical and administrative security measures, such as access control, encryption, and backup, to maintain operations and ensure patient data privacy and availability.
QNAP provides well-rounded protection for sensitive medical data
QNAP NAS provides access controls, encryption, and ransomware defense, helping healthcare institutions enhance ePHI security while seamlessly integrating HIPAA compliance strategies to ensure data safety and availability.
Login Protection
By adopting the high-standard Zero Trust network strategy, QNAP enforces strict authentication measures for ePHI system and service access.
Firewall
A host-based Firewall (Micro-Perimeter) filters unauthorized access, allowing only designated clients to access medical records.
Two-Step Verification
Supports advanced authentication that aligns with cybersecurity trends, enhancing security and preventing login credentials from being stolen. This ensures sensitive medical records remain protected from leaks.
Login Alerts
Provides real-time notifications (via email, SMS, push notifications, and instant message) of suspicious login attempts.
Data Protection
Multi-layer encryption and security mechanisms ensure sensitive medical data remains protected.
AES-256 Encryption
Encrypt sensitive folders storing ePHI system data with a key-based encryption method. You can enable server-side static encryption for stored data and client-side encryption during remote backups.
Data Synchronization & Recovery
You can synchronize encrypted data to target destinations and decrypt at the client side when needed.
WORM (Write Once, Read Many)
Ensures medical records remain unalterable within a specified retention period, preventing accidental or malicious changes and maintaining long-term data integrity.
Disk Encryption
Supports Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) with built-in encryption processors for an additional layer of data security.
Access Control
Set granular user and data access permissions to prevent unauthorized access.
-
File Access Permissions
Control which users can access, edit, and delete content. This ensures that sensitive medical data cannot be easily viewed or modified by unauthorized individuals.
-
Secure Data Sharing
Set expiration dates and access passwords for shared links to restrict the distribution of medical records or other sensitive data.
-
Delegated Management
Centrally configure different administrator groups and assign limited permissions based on specific tasks, improving efficiency while ensuring data security.
Proactive Threat Detection & Security Assessment
Continuously monitor potential cybersecurity threats to safeguard devices and data.
-
Security Risk Monitoring
Detect abnormal file activities in real-time and take immediate protective measures (protect / back up / block), while sending alert notifications.
-
Malware Defense
Regularly scan the NAS to detect and eliminate malware infections in systems and files.
-
Comprehensive LAN Protection
You can install ADRA NDR cybersecurity software directly on access switches to actively defend against targeted ransomware threats within the internal network.
Data Integrity & Disaster Recovery
Leverage enterprise-grade data protection technologies to ensure medical data integrity.
-
Data Immutability
Highly-reliable ZFS-based storage provides self-healing capabilities, snapshot protection, WORM, and immutable storage, ensuring data integrity.
-
Backup & Restore
Perform full and efficient backups of computers, servers, and other hardware devices in healthcare environments. Quickly restore critical data, services, and systems in the event of hardware failure or accidental deletion.
-
High Availability
Maintain service continuity in the event of hardware failures or system anomalies, ensuring that critical patient data and healthcare applications remain operational.
(This feature will be available soon)
Audit Logs
Maintain a comprehensive access log of ePHI for centralized monitoring and management of both local and remote devices, meeting HIPAA audit requirements.
