When can sending TLS-Secured Email be NOT HIPAA Compliant?

Tuesday, May 1st, 2018

In a question recently submitted to “Ask Erik,” John asked:

“How does sending a TLS-encrypted email sometimes become non-compliant?  Lets says I send an email from my Office 365 Business account to a gmail.com account which both support TLS encryption.  Is it because I do not know what path and what servers the email has to go through?  Does each server have to decrypt the email and is that when it becomes non-compliant?  I love the Luxsci forms by the way!”

This is a great question!  In a recent survey that LuxSci did, less than 50% the people interested in secure email even knew what TLS is and how it works.  So it is not surprising that there is a lot of confusion out there about what is acceptable for compliance and what is not.

Cyber Espionage Infiltrates American Small Business

Tuesday, January 30th, 2018

The last thing an architect could imagine is that his company’s proposal for a new commercial building site along a stunning San Francisco Bay view would lose to a competitor with a similar design and infrastructure, a lower bid, and a leaner delivery schedule. It happened. And cyber-espionage was the culprit.

New technology spans the globe as small businesses find themselves victims to espionage as someone steals their sales pipelines, customer lists, corporate secrets, and corridors to their Fortune 1000 clients without their knowledge. It was Robert Mueller, former head of the FBI, who stated in 2012 that “there are only two types of companies: those that have been hacked and those that will be.” A well-known attorney updated that comment recently when he warned his colleagues that “You are a company that has been hacked or a company that doesn’t know you were hacked.” This is a reality check for all business owners.

Trust Seals & Their Impact on Sales: Things You Should Know

Wednesday, November 8th, 2017

With visually appealing trust seals on your website, you can expect to get more leads and improve sales.

Have you ever noticed a logo on an e-commerce site that is screaming to tell that their payment system will not compromise your credit card information? Well, this is an example of a variety of trust-building tools called trust seals. The trust seals appear in a site in various forms such as a logo, icon or badge. They may be placed in the header, near a form, and in the footer or navigation menu.

Some common examples of trust seals are Luxsci’s HIPAA certification seal, Better Business Bureau (BBB), McAfee, TrustedShops, SiteLock, GeoTrust, Thawte, Comodo, PayPal, Visa, Google, Verisign, TRUSTe seals and Shopify.

A graduation certificate from MIT or Oxford will most probably land you up on a high-paying job. Right? (But then after, your performance will decide how long the employer will retain you.) This is similar to what trust seals do to your business.
