Many healthcare organizations continue to be challenged to meet the privacy and security regulations that are defined in HIPAA. The final HIPAA Security Rule went into affect on April 21, 2005 and many healthcare organizations are still working to comply with the patient privacy rules defined in the regulations.

Transmission security (e.g. email, web transfer) is one area in which many organizations are challenged to find a cost-effective and easy-to-use solution to meet the privacy concerns defined in the HIPAA Security Rule. Many organizations are looking to encryption technologies to ensure privacy of the Protected Health Information (PHI).
