Healthcare Compliance

Hospitals and healthcare organizations face the dual challenge of rapidly enabling staff access while defending against sophisticated cyber threats. Navigating complex compliance requirements—such as HIPAA and HITECH—adds further pressure, making manual identity management processes impractical and risky.

Healthcare IAM must address the unique complexity of users with multiple roles and diverse authoritative sources across a large, dynamic workforce. Effective identity and access management helps healthcare providers strengthen their security posture while improving operational efficiency.

Key benefits include:

• Ensuring users have precisely the access they need—no more, no less
• Minimizing friction between clinicians and IT security teams to maintain workflow efficiency
• Reducing the administrative burden of manual identity and access management tasks
• Simplifying audit preparation and making compliance demonstrations straightforward and reliable

By adopting advanced Identity and Access Management (IAM) strategies, healthcare organizations can protect sensitive patient data, meet stringent regulatory demands, and empower their workforce with seamless, secure access.

Healthcare organizations handle highly sensitive data and must meet strict regulatory requirements. Identity and Access Management (IAM) helps control who can access what, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

Implementing these Identity and Access Management (IAM) features helps healthcare organizations strengthen access control, reduce manual errors, and meet regulatory demands with less overhead.

Key IAM features that support cybersecurity and compliance in healthcare:

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

RBAC Limits access based on job responsibilities to prevent unnecessary data exposure.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Requires multiple verification steps to reduce the risk of compromised accounts.

Automated Provisioning and Deprovisioning

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning ensures users have the right access when they need it—and removes it when they don’t.

Audit Logging and Reporting

Audit logs and reporting tracks all access activity to support investigations and meet HIPAA, HITECH, and FDA audit requirements.

Single Sign-On (SSO)

SSO provides secure access to multiple systems without requiring multiple logins.
