Choosing HIPAA-Compliance Platforms: Review of Emerging Tools

Healthcare software now carries the same weight as stethoscopes and exam rooms. It touches protected health information (PHI) all day, so HIPAA compliance can't be an afterthought. The challenge is sorting through a fast-moving market of tools that claim to be "secure" without showing how. This review walks through what to look for, highlights the most promising categories, and closes with a practical framework you can apply to any shortlist-plus a section on how CureMD helps physicians run faster, safer clinical operations.

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) Compliance

If your website or digital app collects, tracks, or sells data from Colorado residents, chances are the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) applies to you. Like California’s CCPA and Virginia’s VCDPA, the CPA is part of the growing patchwork of state-level privacy laws reshaping how U.S. businesses handle personal data. Yet many companies underestimate the scope of the Colorado Privacy Act—or assume compliance is covered by PCI DSS or HIPAA if they process payments or healthcare data.

Boost trust with HIPAA compliance: proven strategies for healthcare

Imagine this: a single breach that exposes a few patient files, and suddenly your organization is facing multi-million dollar fines, legal scrutiny, and eroded trust from the public. Now add regulatory audits, internal investigations, and the constant stress of proving compliance at every turn. The stakes are simply too high to treat HIPAA as an afterthought.

Hospitals Need to Prepare for AI-Powered Phishing Attacks

Healthcare organizations need to be prepared for an increase in AI-assisted phishing attacks, according to Zack Martin, Senior Policy Advisor at Venable. In an article for HIT Consultant, Martin explained that AI has made phishing attacks more convincing and easier to launch, posing a heightened risk to healthcare organizations.

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Compliance

If you operate a website, run targeted ads, or use third-party analytics, the answer is likely yes. Since its enforcement began in 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has reshaped data privacy obligations in the U.S., granting California residents GDPR-like rights to access, delete, and opt out of data sales. But while companies scramble to update privacy policies and cookie banners, the client-side risks often go unaddressed.

Securing Healthcare's Vulnerable Supply Chain

The digital interdependence of today’s healthcare supply chain has created new systemic risks. Cybersecurity is no longer limited to internal systems, but vulnerabilities in the innumerable third-party suppliers can now expose entire networks to disruption. From patient records stored in the cloud to diagnostic tools and logistics platforms, every element is a potential entry point for attackers.

Why Healthcare Needs DevOps Backup And DR Strategy

There is a critical speed-control paradox in the healthcare DevOps landscape: while DevOps best practices dramatically cut software delivery cycles, a lack of confidence in Disaster Recovery readiness, noted by Gartner, opens up room for fragile operations despite increased deployment speed. This gap demands a solution that adds reliability, such as comprehensive backup strategies, to ensure that faster development doesn’t compromise mission-critical systems ignited through DevOps platforms.

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Compliance

If your company works with the U.S. government, manages sensitive data, or seeks to align with recognized best practices, the answer is almost certainly yes. National Institute of Standards and Technology requirements can be daunting. While many companies focus on firewalls, servers, and cloud environments, the client-side of the web application—where sensitive data is collected from customers and employees—is often left unprotected. This blind spot is a key compliance risk under NIST.

Beyond PCI and HIPAA: How Feroot Powers Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) Compliance

If you’re in financial services—or provide technology services to banks, insurers, or fintechs—the answer is almost certainly yes. DORA, which takes effect in January 2025, creates a harmonized EU-wide regulatory framework to ensure that financial institutions and their vendors can withstand cyberattacks and technology disruptions.
