Secure Proxy for HIPAA-Compliant API Analytics

In HeathTech apps, it’s often the case that you’re dealing with private or health-related data. This requires compliance with regulations, such as HIPAA in the United States. These regulations force you to handle sensitive data in a well-defined manner, so only specific people can read it, and if they do, it should be logged for later auditing.

What is HIPAA, and Why is It Important?

Healthcare information is perhaps the most important data in our lives. Your health records can contain your medical history, results of tests and scans, and details of current health insurance. This data is a special class of personally identifiable information, and HIPAA is the law that protects it.

How to Handle Complexity in ISO 26262 Compliance Workflows

When you need to comply with functional safety standards like ISO 26262, you need to establish a compliance workflow. This is critical for both ISO 26262 semiconductor design and software design. In this blog, we breakdown how to handle complexity of semiconductor IPs in ISO 26262 compliance workflows.

Implementing HIPAA Technical Safeguards in your API Platform

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA for short, is a set of laws around handling health-related data in information systems. It defines safeguards, which are rules you have to follow when handling health data for your customers. There are three safeguard categories: All three categories have to be handled correctly if you want your API to be HIPAA compliant. In a companion article we covered those key requirements and how to build HIPAA complaint API platforms.

What It Actually Means to be HIPAA Compliant

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, is a federal regulation in the United States that protects healthcare data containing personal health information, or PHI. It also covers Electronic PHI, or E-PHI, which are digital records of this information. The ability to effectively using healthcare data is essential for improving patient outcomes, quality of care, resource allocation, revenues, and other operations.

Data Security Threats and Compliance for 2021 and Beyond

Large and small businesses face daily reminders that their data’s security is under attack by digital pirates, hackers, and cybercriminals. These threats require an immediate response, whether it's an unexpected hacking threat or a newly discovered database vulnerability. In this guide, we’ll help you understand these threats and how to prevent them in 2021.

MISRA Compliance:2020 and Other Panic Attacks

We are delighted to being invited again to Germany’s leading embedded software conference the ESE Kongress. We will be focusing on the MISRA language standard as commonly used in the automotive, avionics and wider safety critical space and educate about the importance of MISRA Compliance as defined in 2020. MISRA can be overwhelming for new projects and it is essential to understand the constraints as well as the freedoms regarding MISRA compliance.
