HIPAA Compliant Encrypted Email

Email encryption is the process of encrypting, or disguising, content of email messages to protect sensitive data that is sent over the internet. There are many, many reasons why this is important, but for dental and medical offices specifically, HIPAA requires all outgoing emails to be encrypted in transit. This ensures that sensitive patient data is not intercepted, which can lead to identity theft, spam, fraud, and security breaches. Most free email services, such as Yahoo, AOL, and free Gmail, are not HIPAA compliant. While it may seem tempting to use a free email service for your practice, one mistake with unencrypted patient information can cost your business far more than the small monthly fee to use secure email.
