HIPAA compliant fax is used by medical professionals and organizations as a highly secure way of sending and receiving private patient information, which is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. HIPAA requires that appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards be used to protect the “protected health information” (PHI) of patients. Cloud-based fax provides a means for sending and receiving such information, provided that the right security measures are in place to prevent disclosure of PHI. Such measures include high-level encryption; hosting in data centers with 24x7 security, video surveillance, and access control; audit logs; and more. Healthcare Fax
