Why HIPAA is so importnatPosted by Donald Cinnamon on January 25th, 2021 HIPAA or the health insurance portability and accountability act is aimed to make sure that sensitive patients' and doctors' information is secured. This standard is followed by all organizations working in US healthcare. To launch a product on the US market, you should make sure that the software or a web system you develop is HIPAA compliant. Even websites are reviewed according to HIPAA rules.
That's why before starting the development, it is essential to learn how to build a HIPAA compliant website and, of course, hire the developers that know how to make it. The reason for that is the need for the enchanted security of such platforms since the web systems behind them store and encrypt personal data with a sensitive nature. These are names, addresses, insurance details, SSN, and even more.
If the hacker accesses this information a software provider will be in a trouble. Such a situation will lead to severe penalties.
