Proofpoint Data Storage Meets Healthcare Organization Needs

Proofpoint Inc. claims, in a press release presented on Market Wire, that healthcare organizations rely on Proofpoint to help reduce email risks and costs, keep private data and protected health information (PHI) secure, and adhere to government regulations like HIPAA and HITECH. The company says it addresses these challenges by offering complete solutions in the cloud for email security and compliance, while also allowing customers to realize substantial cost savings, spend less time on administration and ongoing maintenance, and the flexibility to easily deploy new defenses for email as needs change.

"’We purchased the Proofpoint outbound email solution and it's really cut down on potential compliance violations,’ said Mike Gleason, director of information services at Scottsdale Healthcare. ‘For our organization, if any information in the body of an email or an attachment contains a social security number, a credit card number, patient identifier, or other sensitive data, it will be captured and secured. These types of data are automatically encrypted, and then forwarded on, which helps us avoid sending out emails that contain sensitive information or patient privacy data to domains outside our organization.’"
