QNAP Strengthens Data Protection in Healthcare for HIPAA-Compliance
Taipei, Taiwan, April 21, 2025– QNAP® Systems, Inc., a leading provider of secure data storage solutions, helps healthcare organizations strengthen the access, transmission, and storage of electronic protected health information (ePHI) through multi-layered cybersecurity measures and immutable storage—facilitating HIPAA compliance while safeguarding the privacy and integrity of sensitive medical data.
The protection and long-term storage of healthcare data is crucial to both patient privacy and the operational continuity of medical institutions. According to industry standards, medical records must be retained for extended periods and protected by comprehensive backup systems that comply with regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA. "QNAP continues to help healthcare organizations build robust data protection infrastructures with cutting-edge storage and security technologies,” said Andy Yu, Product Manager of QNAP, adding “Our high-security NAS solutions help achieve HIPAA compliance, ensuring data integrity and regulatory alignment while reducing the management burden on IT teams."
How QNAP NAS Strengthens Healthcare Data Security
- Access Control & Zero Trust Security: Enforces account permission management, two-factor authentication (2FA), firewall protection, and abnormal login monitoring to ensure that only authorized personnel can access ePHI.
- Data Protection & Encryption: Supports AES-256 encryption, self-encrypting drives (SEDs), and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) technology to prevent unauthorized modification or deletion of stored data.
- Efficient Backup & Disaster Recovery: Offers RAID protection, snapshot technology, and off-site backups. This ensures rapid recovery of critical data, and mitigates risks from disasters or ransomware attacks.
- Threat Detection & Defense: Features anomaly-based file activity monitoring and anti-ransomware protection. Can be integrated with ADRA NDR appliances to enhance internal network security.
- Comprehensive Audit Logging: Centrally logs all user access and operations involving ePHI, streamlining both internal audits and external compliance reviews in accordance with HIPAA requirements.
