If your business operates within the healthcare sector, GFI Software provides user-friendly solutions to assist you in maintaining compliance with crucial data protection laws. Organizations must exercise utmost caution when handling emails and faxes containing sensitive personal details, aligning their operations with respective data protection laws in their region. GFI Software has three solutions that will strengthen your compliance – so you can send sensitive information safely, store it securely, and prove that it remains secure.
GFI FaxMaker – the safer alternative to the fax machine
Sending paper messages via a fax machine presents a number of risks: Is the machine in a secure location? Did the documents arrive OK? Has anyone else seen what’s been sent or received? But problems can be avoided by GFI FaxMaker™, which lets you send and receive faxes from your email, ensuring compliance with data protection laws such as HIPAA, GDPR, PHIPA, and the Australian Privacy Act. Paper-free faxes are faster and cheaper as well as being more secure. You can also back up and search for faxes in the same way that emails are stored and retrieved.
GFI Archiver – a complete and secure archive for all your emails
This email archiving solution helps you to meet the growing number of regulations on compliance, eDiscovery, and other data legislation. It can also help to protect you from complaints and lawsuits. The solution’s auditing functionality ensures that stored emails are genuine and have not been tampered with. Cost-effective and easy to manage, GFI Archiver™ also significantly reduces demands on Exchange Server and offers a wealth of wider benefits.
GFI LanGuard - patch management and vulnerability assessment solution
Ensuring the security of personal and sensitive patient data is a universal requirement, irrespective of the size of your healthcare organization. GFI LanGuard™ offers comprehensive vulnerability management coupled with extensive reporting, serving as a highly cost-effective solution to aid in your data protection compliance efforts across a myriad of regulations, including HIPAA, GDPR, the Australian Privacy Act, BDSG (Germany), LGPD (Brazil), PDPA (Thailand), and potential upcoming regulations in countries like India and South Korea.
