Accounting IT Support: HIPAA Compliance All the accounting firms that provide services to healthcare organizations and receive and maintain PHI (Protected Healthcare Information) as a part of its engagement must be HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a federal act whose objective is to raise awareness of how important it is to keep patients' data safe and protect it from any unauthorized access. Namely, all the industries that have access to PHI must meet the regulations listed in the Act, making sure they understand the consequences of unrightful disclosure and lack of adequate protection. In addition to HIPAA, accountants and CPAs need to meet the requirements of PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance, which is aimed at all the industries that accept, process, store, or transmit credit card data. The regulations listed in both acts may be challenging to understand, which is why our IT firm offers help. We’ll make sure your system and network meet the requirements stated by HIPAA and PCI, providing them with the highest level of security. A lack of knowledge and understanding of the guidelines is often the reason why companies fail to comply with the requirements – such an error can cost them a lot of money and lead to many other inconveniences that can affect the firm's integrity and reputation.

Backup and Data Recovery Solutions for Accountants
Keeping critical data on your premises requires you to take a lot of care about it. Still, not all the situations are in your control, which is why you need to be prepared even for the worst scenarios. In case of computer and system failures, natural disasters, burst pipes that damage your workstations, employee negligence, cyberattacks, etc., your data is at risk of being permanently lost, which can cause many inconveniences.

- Cloud backup could be the most convenient option because it allows you to perform it as many times as you find it necessary. Apart from being inexpensive, it is suitable for storing files and folders.
