Powerful and expandable, Synology solutions are ideal for storing large sets of critical data such as protected health information in electronic form (ePHI). Flexible management tools enable system administrators operating at covered entities or business associates to design an HIPAA-compliant infrastructure that ensures the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of ePHI.
Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM), the operating system that powers every Synology device, is designed from the ground up to shield data from unauthorized access.
Allow only specific clients to access services hosting electronic patient records by filtering network traffic coming from external sources.
Minimize the risk of login credentials being compromised by setting syntax rules and expiration dates for passwords.
Configure a lockout threshold for failed login attempts to block clients trying to force their way into systems hosting ePHI.
Be notified immediately of suspicious login activities to minimize the risk of sensitive data being exposed or leaked.
Leverage industry-standard AES-256 encryption to design and manage an effective encryption strategy for health data storage.
Store ePHI in folders that are encrypted by separate set of keys, effectively protecting them even if administrative accounts are compromised as a result of digital or physical theft.
Choose between different methods to keep encrypted folders synchronized across local and remote systems. Avoid decrypting folders during data transfer.
Safeguard endpoints by backing them up to encrypted destinations with Active Backup for Business, or opt for secure and convenient cloud backup secured by end-to-end encryption with C2 Backup.
Protect the central ePHI repository by backing it up to a variety of destinations, including Synology C2 Storage. Maintain confidentiality by encrypting data even before it leaves the source.
Ensure that only authorized personnel can view and operate health data, and limit circulation of sensitive documents based on flexible criteria.
Configure folder permissions, storage quotas, speed limits, and administrative privileges for Synology DSM services on a user or group basis.
Set privileges for specific users and groups, and choose whether they can view, comment, edit, download, or copy shared files and folders.
Limit circulation of documents containing patient information by configuring sharing links to expire based on date or number of accesses.
