Clearwater, FL and South Bend, IN – December 12, 2017 – FairWarning, Inc., a leading provider of solutions which expand trust in mission critical applications such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), and cloud-based applications, today announced that it has joined forces with Harmony Healthcare IT, a leader in EHR and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) legacy data management. This is the first time a discrete data archiving company has been certified by FairWarning to implement its audit platform for monitoring the long-term security of historical patient and employee record storage. Healthcare organizations are faced with managing massive amounts of data, and they need to streamline and secure that data throughout its entire lifecycle to meet record retention mandates and compliance regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Together, FairWarning and Harmony Healthcare IT ensure that electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) within Harmony Healthcare IT’s Health Data Archiver (HDA) product is monitored and protected for unusual activity and compliance through FairWarning’s Patient Privacy Monitoring Platform. “Legacy data represents a considerable amount of ePHI that must be retained sometimes up to 25 years or more. As healthcare providers continue to replace EHR and ERP systems, more and more data is being migrated to a secure and accessible archive solution,” said Jim Hammer, vice president, product and program management at Harmony Healthcare IT. “Our product, Health Data Archiver, already has audit log capabilities built in, but, FairWarning provides an added layer of protection with ongoing monitoring and alerts of potential threats for the lifetime of record management.” “As insider threats and cybercriminals have advanced their tactics to obtain patient data, healthcare organizations have become proactive in monitoring and securing ePHI, as an integral part of patient care,” said Scott Baker, Director of Alliances at FairWarning. “Hospitals that are already using FairWarning to monitor and protect their full-production EHRs can now also protect their consolidated historical records from other legacy systems for a wholistic and compliant patient data-protection program.” About FairWarning® FairWarning® is a leading provider of privacy and information security solutions which expand trust in mission critical applications such as Salesforce, Electronic Health Records and cloud-based applications.
