Case Study: a major research university enhances HIPAA compliance with Epiq data security advisory

Research University Enhances HIPAA Compliance With Advanced Security Solutions

The large research university needed to ensure HIPAA compliance within its email systems, specifically for users transitioning from nursing to general student status to avoid potential multi-million dollar fines. To meet this challenge, they partnered with Epiq and utilized its data security advisory services and Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels.

Epiq implemented a solution using auto-labeling and customized classifiers to identify and protect sensitive health information. This successfully purged protected health information from the targeted student mailboxes within one to seven days. The solution, delivered by Epiq, now automatically manages data for hundreds of accounts per year, ensuring ongoing compliance.
