The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) outlines minimum standards which need to be met to ensure the confidentiality, privacy and security of health care information in the Internet environment. HIPAA requires that all health related data transferred over the Internet be done using industry standard 128-bit encryption technologies.

South River Technologies’ products meet this requirement, as well as providing the necessary access controls to ensure that data is not accessed by unauthorized users.
