Case Study: Large Healthcare Corporation achieves HIPAA-compliant, tamper-evident patient data distribution with SSH.COM (SalaX Secure Mail)

Sensitive Data Distribution via Secure Email

Large Healthcare Corporation, a rapidly growing Nordic healthcare provider with over 30,000 employees and private practitioners, faced the challenge of securely distributing highly sensitive patient data outside its facilities. Regular mail was slow or required registered delivery, popular email services were not secure enough, and the organization needed identity verification, tamper-evident delivery, a comprehensive audit trail, and compatibility with existing email clients. To meet these requirements they engaged SSH.COM and selected SalaX Secure Mail as the solution.

SSH.COM implemented SalaX Secure Mail as an encrypted add-on to the existing email system, delivering tamper‑proof messages via protected links, recipient authentication (PIN or strong e‑ID such as bank ID), encrypted storage, detailed audit logs, Microsoft integration, and support for large attachments (up to 1 GB) with hybrid on‑prem/cloud deployment. The deployment enabled compliant handling of confidential healthcare data (meeting HIPAA and stringent regional rules), straightforward protection and sharing of large files between patients and practitioners, and reduced liability through SSH.COM’s zero‑access encryption, while providing verifiable delivery and a full audit trail.
