HP Helps Organizations Meet Government Compliance Requirements

Marketwired
HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced HP Data Privacy Services, a
comprehensive suite of IT services that protect and manage
sensitive data while helping to reduce risk, improve life cycle
data management, and manage compliance with new and existing
federal regulatory requirements.
Healthcare and consumer financial information organizations are
concerned with security threats that increase the risk of
unauthorized access to personal data, or jeopardize the integrity
of this information. Organizations must also meet strict compliance
requirements for global data security laws and regulations with
heightened enforcement and increased penalties. These laws and
regulations include the United States' Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the European Union's Data
Protection Directive and India's Information Technology (Reasonable
Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or
Information) Rules 2011.
To help U.S.-based healthcare organizations align IT practices
with the HIPAA Omnibus Rule, HP is offering new HP Data Privacy
Services. A top-ranked vendor for data privacy by Ponemon
Institute,(1) HP is in a unique position to offer services that
help customers manage and protect sensitive data, including the
secure retention and sanitization of hardware components, active or
retired, that may contain personal health information.
"Continued automation in the healthcare environment and broader
access to patient information are expanding the risk of costly data
breaches," said Lou Berger, vice president, Services Enablement and
Readiness, Storage, HP. "HP Data Privacy Services ensure that
organizations have the necessary infrastructure support to help
them protect and optimize sensitive data, while accelerating
business innovation and complying with data security
regulations."
Best practices for regulatory compliance
An HP Technology Services support professional is assigned to a
customer account as a single point of contact for advice on data
privacy. HP shares best practices to help customers improve
compliance to legal and regulatory mandates, respond to security
incidents and maintain accurate records.
Verified data removal Erasing or deleting
data from retired IT systems, upgraded hardware and servers, or
return-leased equipment is insufficient for permanently removing
all confidential information. The HP Data Sanitization Service
provides the on-site resources and tools to ensure data cannot be
reconstructed or retrieved from these devices. HP specialists
provide customers confirmation of data removal, verifying that all
sanitization procedures have been performed in accordance with
predefined criteria.
Secure options for keeping data safe
Business-critical data is often retained in multiple places,
including switch components, memory-retentive system boards and
system memory. To control sensitive data, HP offers two services
that reduce security risks and ensure privacy compliance:
- HP Defective Media Retention (DMR) enables customers to
maintain and control disk media and data in the event of a disk
malfunction. An HP support agent will diagnose the problem and
dispatch personnel to the customer site with a replacement disk or
part.
- HP Comprehensive Defective Material Retention (CDMR) enables
customers to retain data from components that fail, regardless of
where it resides when the failure occurs.
Air-tight asset recovery HP Asset Recovery
Services offer customized enterprise wide plans for tracking assets
-- from packing and shipping to processing, resale and recycling --
helping customers easily manage potential risks, as well as
optimize opportunities associated with surplus IT equipment.
Pricing and availability HP Data Privacy
Services are available globally. Pricing varies according to
geographic location and service customization.
HP's premier EMEA client event, HP Discover, takes place Dec.
10-12 in Barcelona, Spain.
