ClearDATA,
one of the leading security and compliance experts in the healthcare
cloud, has launched a new healthcare compliant offering for Microsoft
Azure. The new offering helps healthcare organizations operating on
Azure to innovate and scale while maintaining compliance with
rapidly-changing laws and regulations affecting privacy and data
collection of protected health information (PHI).
As
a result of ClearDATA's healthcare exclusive offering, including
Automated Safeguards and an at-a-glance Compliance Dashboard, healthcare
organizations - including payers and providers - have another option
for native access to Azure without running the risk of non-compliance.
For healthcare clients considering Azure to address the transformative
needs of their business, ClearDATA enables the move to the cloud with
performance, agility and efficiency while adhering to the complex
regulations in healthcare, including HIPAA, GxP and GDPR.
"This
is an exciting opportunity to bring our expertise in healthcare
compliance to another leading cloud provider - Microsoft Azure," said
ClearDATA CEO, Darin Brannan. "Countless healthcare organizations either
operate on Azure or have expressed a desire to deploy on it; but want
the assurances ClearDATA offers with regard to security, privacy and
compliance stature."
By
making ClearDATA's solution seamlessly available on Azure, healthcare
organizations will receive deep healthcare cloud expertise and
protection. ClearDATA's Automated Safeguards empower innovation with
confidence by providing direct access to the Azure portal, APIs, and
command-line interfaces while ensuring compliance is enforced throughout
the service lifecycle. Automated Safeguards for Azure enforce
compliance for BAA-covered Azure services such as Azure Virtual
Machines, Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Warehouse.
"Many
healthcare organizations today face an increased strain of pursuing a
digital transformation strategy while also remaining compliant with an
evolving regulatory landscape," said Dr. Simon Kos, chief medical
officer at Microsoft. "Organizations working with ClearDATA technology
on Azure get an added layer of security and compliance capabilities that
are critical to the healthcare industry."
