Enhance HIPAA & PCI Compliance with PA File Sight Auditing Software
Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) July 09, 2013 -- With the impending deadline of the HIPAA Final Rule, many health companies are turning to Power Admin’s PA File Sight solution to help comply with the new regulations.
PA File Sight provides key insights into who is accessing critical file servers, including files being accessed, type of access, user’s IP address and account login, time of access, and more. For organizations that require processes and controls to ensure data security and integrity, PA File Sight offers an audit trail for accidental or malicious changes to files, folder structure and permissions.
New features include:
• User IP – Tracks user IP address and computer name so you know who is accessing your files and from where.
• Access Control – Control which administrators can see reports about specific servers.
• Fail Over – Offers a second central monitoring service as a hot standby with automatic failover (available with the Ultra edition).
PA File Sight has been deployed by customers to play a key role in HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) compliance, particularly for healthcare organizations that must meet the following requirements:
• § 164.308: Administrative Safeguards• § 164.312: Technical Safeguards
HIPAA is a strict set of standards put together by Congress with the intention of preventing unauthorized access or sharing of protected health information (PHI), forcing healthcare providers to be accountable and transparent with regulated data.
PA File Sight can prove invaluable with respect to several of the core principles of HIPAA/HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act) by the following actions:
• Tracking administrative activity
• Monitoring access to data; who, what and when and enabling regular audits
• Internal mechanisms to protect auditing system integrity
With PA File Sight in place, fines and penalties could be reduced in lieu of any security breaches or illegal file access.
In addition to monitoring HIPAA regulated data, PA File Sight has also been deployed to monitor intellectual property, legal documents and financial assets by SMBs, educational institutions and government offices around the world.
