What does HIPAA mean for data backup and recovery?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Public Law 104-191, mandates that all covered entities fulfill certain requirements for data backup, storage, and recovery.  These requirements are listed in the Security section of the Administrative Simplification Act.

DataVault is a highly secure online data backup and recovery system that allows you to fulfill the HIPAA requirements for secure data storage and disaster recovery while realizing significant cost savings.

The first step is for customers to visit www.ComputerSecurity.com/datavault/ and download DataVault - it takes less than five minutes!

Then, using a Windows Explorer interface, the customer selects the data they want to backup and schedules a backup time and frequency.  It's that easy!  DataVault is fully automated - after file selection and scheduling, the customer's files are automatically backed up at the specified time.

When the time comes for your first backup, DataVault compresses your files, encrypts them (using 448 BIT Blowfish encryption), and transmits them to a highly secure offsite data storage center.

What if you have a data loss?

For DataVault, RECOVERY is the priority.  To recover lost files, simply select the files that you lost and click the Restore button!

Why is DataVault better than other backup solutions?

• Pricing. Customers are only charged for the amount of storage space they use. An annual service contract is not required and customers may cancel anytime.
• Technology. DataVault eliminates human error and the effects of accidental data deletions. Once data is selected and a backup session is sche3duled, DataVault performs backups in an automated fashion, immune to human error. The effects of accidental data deletions are eliminated because the backed up data can be instantly recovery in a matter of a few mouse clicks!
• User-Friendliness. Any customer familiar with Windows will be able to select data, schedule backups, and recover lost files with ease.
