Case Study: a rural healthcare provider strengthens cyber security with HID Global

HID Global protects sensitive information and minimizes insider threat risks for a rural healthcare facility

A rural healthcare provider in the Mid-West United States faced the challenge of protecting patient information to meet stringent HIPAA and DEA requirements, including the need for two-factor authentication for e-prescribing. With limited resources, the provider needed a secure and compliant solution to safeguard electronic health records and prevent data breaches. They turned to their existing identity technology vendor, HID Global, for a solution.

HID Global implemented its ActivID Multi-Factor Authentication Technology and provided Professional Services to deploy a comprehensive identity and access management platform. Using FIPS-certified smart ID badges, the solution consolidated physical access, logical network access, and e-prescribing into a single credential. The results included successful compliance audits, increased operational efficiency, and enhanced security, giving the provider peace of mind that sensitive data was protected.
