Sensitive Content Communications Privacy and Compliance in Healthcare

HEALTHCARE BRIEF
When it comes to protected health information (PHI) in the healthcare industry, governmental bodies have gone to great lengths
to ensure it is protected. How PHI of patients—and for that matter personally identifiable information (PII) for staff—is protected is
crucial for healthcare organizations. Regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the U.S.,
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) in Canada, and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Healthcare PHI is in the crosshairs of cybercriminals. Breaches of PHI last year hit an all-time high, impacting 45 million patients—
triple from what it was three years before.1 Nearly three-quarters of healthcare organizations indicate the cause of data breaches
