Why is data protection and data management in the Healthcare industry so challenging?

For many healthcare providers, most information is shared via email, whether it be the latest test results or historical patient information.

Critical and sensitive information is shared and exchanged amongst doctors and staff, the healthcare organization and the patients, between the regulators, the healthcare provider, and partner organizations.

Maintaining this communication data secure and confidential in this heavily regulated industry is vital. This requirement highlights the importance of data management in healthcare. It is also mandated by law.

Companies in the healthcare industry are worried about breaches and theft of sensitive information severely impacting patient data protection and patient data privacy.

This risk to patient data can severely impact trust and reputation and open them up to penalties by regulatory authorities.

Still, healthcare providers don’t consider their email data protection solutions as mission critical – but they should.

Some data protection challenges facing the healthcare industry:

Increasing Digitization

With almost everybody online, emails carry all information exchanges with the healthcare company and notifications from the organization.

This data is sensitive and distributed across endpoints and mobile devices of various users, making it a prime candidate for data corruption, loss, and theft.

Growing Cyberattacks

From 2018 to 2021, there was an 84% increase in the number of data breaches against healthcare organizations - Critical Insights

The ever-increasing cyber attacks on healthcare providers keep the healthcare staff involved in warding off attacks and securing the defense.

The growing sophistication of cyberattacks can render legacy systems and overburdened teams incapable of preventing successful breaches.

Poor Business Continuity

Traditional and manually managed systems to protect the ever-growing volume of email data fall short.

With legacy systems, the risk of a breakdown or a major catastrophe is very high and can impact business continuity.

Downtime is not an option for a digitally enabled healthcare organization.

Assuming that a large mailbox is sufficient to protect data

In several conversations with healthcare providers, we often get asked this question:

I am using a reliable cloud email service that offers me 50GB or 100GB per mailbox, which is enough. Then why do I need a data protection system for my healthcare organization?

Keeping emails in active mailboxes is not a safe backup for your email data. These emails are prone to tampering, theft, accidental or intentional erasures, corruption, etc. And all this without an audit trail.

In other words, when you examine mailbox contents, you can never be sure it has all the emails ever received or sent by the user. This unknown is not a happy situation when you face a regulatory audit or litigation.

A best practice in a healthcare data management system is to back up your data in an independent infrastructure that offers tamper-resistant storage and industrial-grade security and privacy.
