  PrivaPlan and SSI Partnership

Security Solutions Inc. and PrivaPlan have partnered together to provide the most cost-effective and complete online solution regarding the HIPAA security regulation applicable for any size medical business.

As part of the first phase in a multi-phased alliance, PrivaPlan Associates, Inc., a leading source of HIPAA compliance expertise and Security Solutions Inc. (the parent company of HipaaManager), an international provider of enterprise software and technical solution packages, today announced a technology and business partnership to deliver a simple, cost-effective tool that addresses compliance with the HIPAA Security standards. This exciting new tool provides a solution to businesses who must comply with HIPAA; it is also an effective do it yourself solution for any business interested in their computer and technical security.

Homeland security and the emerging threats to business continuity make a strong case for any business to ensure the security of its computer networks and electronic business processes. HIPAA requires such security within the healthcare industry and affects physicians and other providers, hospitals and institutional care givers and health plans (including employers who sponsor health coverage).

As many already know, the deadline for the HIPAA Privacy rule was April 03. The next compliance deadline for the majority of healthcare providers is April 21, 2005. This deadline is the HIPAA Security Rule. The HIPAA Security Rule is comprehensive (19 standards, 42 specifications etc.), the documentation requirement is daunting, no guidance is provided to address requirements, and for most organizations there are limited resources with security expertise time consuming and expensive. The HIPAA Security Rule addresses electronic patient health information or ePHI, however, the scope includes protecting ePHI whether it is stored in a computer or if it is printed from a computer.

PrivaPlan and Security Solutions Inc. have teamed up to take the guesswork out of what is needed to comply with the new HIPAA security regulation.
