Encryption and Security. HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA, also known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a 1996 law that dictates how documents containing patient healthcare information should be transmitted. For healthcare professionals and others who often handle sensitive healthcare information, compliance with HIPAA guidelines is a crucial part of their work, especially as more and more healthcare information becomes stored and transmitted electronically. To Enable HIPAA Compliance on pdfFiller, navigate to My Account and choose SETTINGS.

Select Settings and click More Details in the Authentication and Access Security section.

Move the HIPAA Compliance toggle. pdfFiller distinguishes itself from many other document management services by offering a HIPAA compliance option to all of its Business plan customers. Through stringent encryption standards as well as safety and reporting protocols, pdfFiller has made sure that its services meet all HIPAA standards regarding the storage and transmission of healthcare information. Businesses can use features like pdfFiller’s online editor, SendToSign and Fax with healthcare documents without worrying about document compliance or security.

Forgot something on you PDF? this software got your back It really happens to everyone, somethings you just miss something on a document that is already a pdf, with this tool you can fix it right away. Let's be real, it happens to all of us, we made or receive a pdf, and we forget to sign it or add a line, even just correct a typo. PDF filler will just let you convert this to a word doc so you can fix all you need. Nothing, easy to use, easy to convert again to pdf and help a lot if you just lost the original file.

Is a password-protected PDF HIPAA compliant?

As we've demonstrated in this post, password-protected PDF documents are not a sign of HIPAA compliance. First, we see that HHS has already set precedent that using passwords, but not encryption, is a HIPAA fine in waiting.

Is a password-protected ZIP file encrypted?

Zip files can be password-protected, but the standard Zip encryption scheme is extremely weak. To gain the actual benefits of encryption, you should use AES-256 encryption. 7z archives support this natively, but you can also encrypt Zip files with AES-256 encryption.

How do I create a password-protected zip file?

Click the Encrypt toggle in the Actions pane. If you have not already done so, click the Options button that now displays in the Actions' pane to set the encryption level. Add files to your new Zip file. Enter a password when the Encrypt dialog displays. Save the Zip file.

Does encrypt mean password protected?

In layman's terms, encryption means scrambling data (plain text) according to an algorithm, so that can be read only by who has a key (cipher text). Password protection means you protect a file or something else with a password, so you can't open it, if you don't know the password.
