HIPAA Secure Now! and BUMI (Backup My Info!) announced today a new HIPAA compliant data backup service called HIPAA Secure Backup Powered by BUMI. BUMI is the premium provider of managed online backup and recovery solutions for small to mid-sized businesses. Under HIPAA Security Rule 164.308(a)(7)(ii)(A), medical providers and their business associates are required by law to implement a data backup plan that ensures Protected Health Information (PHI) is properly safeguarded.
HIPAA Secure Backup Powered by BUMI ensures that data is encrypted prior to being sent to the BUMI servers and that data remains encrypted on the servers. BUMI will sign a required HIPAA business associate agreement with either a covered entity or business associate (healthcare organizations and their contractors) to certify that they comply with the new HIPAA Omnibus Rule. The service is fully managed from the software installation to monitoring backups, notifying clients if there are issues with backups, and 24x7 live support and data recovery.
