 We recently discussed email security for accountants and mentioned that the use of password-protected files is not usually a very good solution for meeting data privacy needs. After writing this and getting some feed back, we thought that the issue of password-protected files really deserves some further discussion. Many people are under the assumption that if they use the “password protection” features of whatever software they are using, that their data is safe and secure. However, this is not necessarily the case. Why?
Using password-protected files to secure data is fast and easy and built into many applications. Why not use it? Certainly, password protecting files is much better than not doing so. However, there are several things that determine how secure these “protected” files really are.

 Everyone always harps on the necessity of privacy when discussing health care, government, and banking communications.

 Doctors and medical professionals are feeling a growing pressure to get their business online (i.e. even use of electronic prescriptions is being pushed). This includes making available protected health information to patients via a web site and collecting similar private information from patients or would-be patients. If doctors can show that they are using digital systems with their health care practices in a meaningful way by 2011, they may be eligible for some serious money (part of the proposed stimulus package — the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)).
However, where the health information of an identifiable individual is involved, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the official compliance document. So, what do these requirements mean and how can HIPAA be followed in the context of a website?

LuxSci has had many requests from clients who have to communicate with various banks and other security-conscious organizations asking that LuxSci “enforce the encryption of email when sent to those organizations’ email servers via TLS”. This is such a common request, that I wanted to explain what it means, why it is good, how LuxSci does this by default, and the extra step that LuxSci can take to lock down things even more for you.
