Protect Your Health Records And Meet Your Compliance Obligations

Compliance claims made by vendors concerning their products can be misleading. Below are excerpts from HIPAA's Technical Safeguard's that refer to requirements that a compliant storage solution should address. In violet are the capabilities Nexsan Assureon provides its customers.

Assureon's Access Control has two components.

1. Authentication verifies that a client is who they say they are:
   • Assureon uses Microsoft's Authentication System
   • Assureon optionally uses security certifi cates (Smart Cards)
2. Authorization determines that the client has the appropriate permissions to access the resources they are requesting.

Authorization is given to an authenticated client by policies established within Assureon and then published into Microsoft's Active Directory.
