Case Study: Major Healthcare Software Provider achieves FIPS-compliant, persistent end-to-end data protection with PKWARE

Healthcare Software Firm Implements Advanced Data Protection

Major Healthcare Software Provider faced urgent customer pressure to add persistent, data-level encryption to its EHR product to meet federal Meaningful Use and FIPS/ compliance concerns. With no in-house cryptography expertise and an upcoming release in months (building a compliant solution internally would have taken a year or more), the company turned to PKWARE and its Software Development Kit (SDK) to deliver a strong, reliable encryption capability without delaying the roadmap.

Using the PKWARE SDK, the provider added persistent, end-to-end encryption with only a few lines of code in days instead of months, keeping the EHR release on schedule and requiring no end-user retraining. PKWARE’s solution ensured encryption travels with data across servers, desktops, and mobile devices, helped the customer meet HIPAA/HITECH/ARRA and Meaningful Use requirements, and enabled the company to satisfy customer demands and expand its install base.
