Healthcare Solutions for HIPAA/HITECH and PCI Compliance

Obtain HITECH Safe Harbor with NIST certified strong encryption

New federal and state regulations make it imperative to encrypt sensitive data in your Enterprise database files. Social security numbers, credit card numbers, patient treatment, and other sensitive information must be encrypted to prevent loss or unauthorized use. The Alliance AES Encryption product provides all of the encryption, decryption, and key management facilities you need to secure your DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server data.

Alliance AES Encryption and Alliance Key Manager are National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Certified Solutions helping organization obtain Safe Harbor from the data breach notification requirement of HITECH.

Point-of-sale and payment systems

Point-of-sale terminals and processing systems present special challenges for data security. Alliance AES encryption and key management solutions can help you secure your data on the point-of-sale terminal, intermediate servers, and while it moves to your applications servers and payment service provider networks. The complete implementation of the AES encryption specification means no gaps in encryption support for multiple POS vendor systems and payment networks. Your data and encryption keys are secure at every point in the payment processing chain.

Internet file server encryption

When you deploy an FTP server or data sharing server such as Microsoft SharePoint, your sensitive data is exposed after it is transmitted to you, but before you process it into your applications. You can automatically protect sensitive files on the file transfer server with Alliance File Encryption Manager for Windows. Files are automatically encrypted in real time and can then be moved to internal application servers for decryption and processing. Data is protected on your disk and while it moves across your network.

Secure file transfer over the Internet

Securely send and receive files using an Internet connection with Alliance FTP Manager, which uses PGP. PGP has been certified by HIPAA for secure transfer of claims and other medical data. Alliance FTP Manager provides a cross-platform compatible encryption method for exchanging sensitive data with customers and vendors, and is deployed by many insurance companies, independent financial service organizations, commercial banks, benefit providers, and government agencies. Files encrypted on the Enterprise with Alliance FTP Manager can be decrypted on UNIX, Windows, IBM System z mainframe, and other platforms. With built-in key management and file compression capabilities Alliance FTP Manager is the best solution for your cross-platform transfer needs.
