HIPAA

Database Protection for HIPAA Regulatory Compliance
 

Protect Sensitive Records Against Breaches and Comply with Healthcare and Local Requirements

The increasing demand for openness and interoperability in electronic health record (EHR) initiatives, including the use of web-based and email communications with patients, and the need for healthcare facilities to secure protected health information (PHI) invite greater control over the security and privacy of patient and provider information, both administrative and clinical.

The regulations that form HIPAA arose from this demand for better control and accountability over sensitive data. The Sentrigo Hedgehog™ solution addresses company accountability to reporting to HIPAA by providing data protection and monitoring of database activity in real time, including access to financial and privileged user activity. Sentrigo also helps auditors by simplifying the audit process and making the generation of reports easy.
 

Sentrigo Hedgehog’s Key Benefits for HIPAA 

• Wizard-driven template that quickly turns HIPAA requirements into actionable database protection policies
• Monitors and alerts on all database activities in real time, including all local access by privileged users and memory-based activity (e.g. stored procedures, triggers, views).
• Speeds up regulatory compliance by providing auditors with detailed, relevant information on access to healthcare and personal data including pre-defined or customized reports
• Preventing breaches

Hedgehog monitors all database activities, including privileged users with local access, in real time. IT security personnel can be assured of complete visibility of user activity on all monitored databases. Hedgehog issues alerts about abnormal user activity and can also stop it in its tracks. Furthermore, Sentrigo’s virtual patching capability also protects databases against multiple attack vectors, such as SQL injection and buffer overflow. The result is complete visibility into database activity coupled with automated defense against misuse and intrusion.
