GDPR

EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) put forth by the European Union is a set of rules about how organizations should process data of residents in any European Union Countries. This includes the privacy and protection of personal data and more transparent control to the person that data came from. Any organizations outside of the European Union that collect or use data from any EU citizens are also required to comply. The flurry of updated terms of services from Facebook, Twitter, and most other websites and web applications with a global presence over the last six months was due to this new regulation. GDPR assigns power to regulators to ask for proof of compliance and impose fines on organizations that do not comply.

HIPAA

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

As data breaches in the healthcare industry continue to mount, security is more important than ever. More ePHI means more risk and exposure for providers and their patients’ personal information. Protecting patient information is becoming increasingly more difficult as new, complex ways of hacking information becomes more abundant. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is in place to protect patient information and privacy. Healthcare organizations trying to maintain compliance often find the process difficult to keep up with new regulations, time consuming, and expensive. Staying HIPAA compliant is not only important for the patient’s privacy, but also for the long-term success of the healthcare organization. As recent HIPAA-Related Security breaches show, any company found to be non-compliant can be charged with millions of dollars of fines if any patient information is leaked. Sedara offers a solution to help avoid electronic data breaches and comply with HIPAA and HITECH regulations giving you peace of mind.

NIST

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) develops frameworks that define best practices for safeguarding sensitive information. Originally created to help federal agencies meet the requirements of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), NIST standards have become the foundation for strong cybersecurity programs across both the public and private sectors. One of the most widely recognized frameworks is NIST Special Publication 800-53, which details security and privacy controls for federal information systems. Compliance with NIST 800-53 is mandatory for government agencies, with violations carrying serious penalties. More importantly, non-compliance increases the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches. For organizations, NIST guidelines serve as a trusted blueprint for strengthening defenses, managing risk, and demonstrating due diligence to customers, partners, and regulators. By aligning with NIST, organizations can improve resilience against evolving threats, meet regulatory obligations, and build greater trust with stakeholders.
