KNOW THE DIFFERENCES
HIPAA & PIPEDA
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) are both regulations designed to protect personal information, but they apply in different contexts and regions. HIPAA is a U.S. law focused on safeguarding sensitive health information within the healthcare sector, including patient records and electronic health data, ensuring privacy and security in the handling of medical information. PIPEDA, on the other hand, is Canadian legislation that governs how private sector organizations handle personal information across various industries, not limited to healthcare. While both regulations emphasize the importance of protecting personal data, HIPAA is specific to health information in the U.S., whereas PIPEDA applies more broadly to personal information in Canada.
HIPAA & PIPEDA COMPLIANCE
HIPAA compliant hosting infrastructure
As a HIPAA compliant hosting provider, Creative Webdesign can help to ensure that your organization meets, and even exceeds, HIPAA and PIPEDA requirements by providing the necessary technical and physical safeguards for your hosting environment
Technical Safeguards
- Fully Managed FirewallWith a blend of hardware and software-managed firewalls, your network will be fortified against unauthorized access and intrusions. By utilizing managed services, you can establish an Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) that aligns with PIPEDA requirements. This advanced service continuously monitors network traffic that has passed through the firewall, detecting unusual behavior patterns and automatically logging incidents. It offers round-the-clock protection at the network layer, ensuring your security is always active.
- Encrypted Offsite Backupsrioritizing data protection, Creative Webdesign provides fully automated offsite backups, along with optional replication services. These features can be customized to suit your organization's unique requirements.
- Encrypted VPN and StorageTo ensure compliance with PIPEDA regulations, Creative Webdesign encrypts VPN traffic, whether for site-to-site connections or remote access. Additionally, all of our storage platforms are secured with a minimum of AES256 encryption ciphers.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)PIPEDA regulations require organizations to take "reasonable" steps to safeguard the integrity of personal data. Integrating Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) into your infrastructure significantly reduces the risk of compromised credentials. While straightforward to implement, MFA is highly effective in protecting servers that handle data covered by PIPEDA.
- Physical Safeguard: Facility Access ControlsThe hosting Data Center is equipped with robust security measures to ensure the highest level of protection. It features 24/7 on-site security personnel who are constantly monitoring the premises to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, the facility is safeguarded by a comprehensive network of local and remote CCTV cameras, providing continuous surveillance and real-time monitoring. For added security, the Data Center is housed within a nondescript, secure compound, designed to minimize its visibility and deter potential threats.
