PRIVACY REGULATIONS, HIPPA COMPLIANCE & CLOUD BACKUP
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
With the growing number of privacy regulations around the world, it’s becoming increasingly important to protect the information you collect about your customers and prospects.
For instance, in the United States, many states have enacted the Personal Information Protection Act. In Canada, the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) law took effect in 2000, and has been updated several times. In Europe, the EU Data Protection Directive was recently changed to reflect greater privacy concerns.
What all these regulations have in common is the need to become more vigilant with the private data you obtain from the people you do business with, and if you back up a database that contains sensitive client information, you must make sure your backup cannot be compromised by a third-party.
Backup Barracks will give your organization the security, reliability, and performance of an enterprise-class online backup.

HIPAA: Where It Applies To Cloud Backup
HIPAA is a high level standard that defines rules about how “Individual identifiable health information” needs to be protected by health care providers.
Where HIPAA Applies To Cloud Backup
When it comes to online backup, HIPAA only applies where you back up patient information that may be stored in files or databases. When evaluating a cloud backup provider for HIPAA-sensitive data, the most important question that you need to ask yourself is:
What is the possibility of a data breach, and how serious is your backup provider about protecting your information?
