Case Study: a leading healthcare system provider achieves HIPAA compliance with Epiq’s customized Microsoft data security solutions

Healthcare System Provider Achieves HIPAA Compliance With Customized Microsoft Data Security Solutions

A leading healthcare system provider faced the challenge of achieving full HIPAA compliance across its data systems. They needed to establish proper retention policies and identify patient data within a non-standardized environment, all while allowing employees to retain historic emails that did not contain sensitive information. They engaged Epiq for its data security advisory and data lifecycle management services to address these complex needs.

Epiq implemented a customized Microsoft Purview solution for the client's 14,000 users. This consolidated patient data into a single system and utilized automated Data Loss Prevention (DLP) rules to securely transmit necessary information. The solution automated 30 to 40 hours of manual work annually, improving accuracy. By unifying multiple outdated methods into one compliant solution with Epiq's help, the healthcare provider successfully achieved its HIPAA goals.
