HIPAA-compliant document sharing is a service for exchanging medical documents (like patient records) also known as Protected Health Information (PHI) online. These services, known as HIPAA-compliant client portals, implement the rules put forth by the Health Insurance Portability and Accessibility Act (HIPAA) on how protected health information must be handled. HIPAA was put in place to protect patient's information by requiring strong security practices for parties who interact with personal health information. Using HIPAA-compliant document sharing software makes it easy for your business to share files quickly and easily all while keeping your patient's data safe.

If you're handling any Protected Health Information (PHI) as part of your services, adopting HIPAA-compliant file sharing is not just beneficial—it's a legal requirement. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any organization that deals with PHI must ensure all aspects of its handling, including sharing and storage, comply with HIPAA's stringent security measures. This compliance helps prevent unauthorized access to patient information and maintains the integrity and confidentiality of healthcare data. Whether you're a healthcare provider, an insurance company, or a business associate of such entities, integrating HIPAA-compliant solutions into your data management practices is crucial for both legal compliance and maintaining the trust of your clients and patients.
Foyer ensures HIPAA compliance through robust security measures. We protect all data with end-to-end encryption, meaning every file and message is secured from upload to access. Our platform provides detailed audit trails for all events from logging in to previewing a file. Access control is customizable, allowing for precise management of who can see or edit information, and we support Multi-Factor and Two-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA) for an added layer of security against unauthorized access. These features and more combine to make Foyer a reliable and secure choice for healthcare organizations to share sensitive information compliantly.
Using email for sharing sensitive information can be risky, particularly when it involves HIPAA compliance. Email platforms, by default, may not offer the necessary security measures required for HIPAA compliance, such as encryption in transit and at rest. For this reason, employing a secure client portal service specifically designed to meet HIPAA standards is essential. These services ensure that files containing PHI (Protected Health Information) are encrypted, providing access controls and audit trails, which are critical for maintaining confidentiality and integrity.
