Inside the paper, you will also find a HIPAA self-assessment flow chart.
Apps like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, iMessage, and WhatsApp are not HIPAA compliant but are widely used in healthcare. Non-compliance can lead to penalties such as fines of $50k per HIPAA breach and/or jail time of up to 10 years.
In this white paper, you will be able to self evaluate using a flowchart which can help determine if you should have a HIPAA compliant solution in place.
