Data Protection in Healthcare with Vaultastic
Vaultastic’s sophisticated cloud solution for data protection and data management in the Healthcare industry safeguards sensitive information and critical patient data in emails.
Why is data protection and data management in the Healthcare industry so challenging?
For many healthcare providers, most information is shared via email, whether it be the latest test results or historical patient information.
Critical and sensitive information is shared and exchanged amongst doctors and staff, the healthcare organization and the patients, between the regulators, the healthcare provider, and partner organizations.
Maintaining this communication data secure and confidential in this heavily regulated industry is vital. This requirement highlights the importance of data management in healthcare. It is also mandated by law.
Companies in the healthcare industry are worried about breaches and theft of sensitive information severely impacting patient data protection and patient data privacy.
This risk to patient data can severely impact trust and reputation and open them up to penalties by regulatory authorities.
Still, healthcare providers don’t consider their email data protection solutions as mission critical – but they should.
Some data protection challenges facing the healthcare industry:Increasing Digitization
With almost everybody online, emails carry all information exchanges with the healthcare company and notifications from the organization.
This data is sensitive and distributed across endpoints and mobile devices of various users, making it a prime candidate for data corruption, loss, and theft.Growing Cyberattacks
From 2018 to 2021, there was an 84% increase in the number of data breaches against healthcare organizations - Critical Insights
The ever-increasing cyber attacks on healthcare providers keep the healthcare staff involved in warding off attacks and securing the defense.
Poor Business Continuity
Traditional and manually managed systems to protect the ever-growing volume of email data fall short.
With legacy systems, the risk of a breakdown or a major catastrophe is very high and can impact business continuity.
Downtime is not an option for a digitally enabled healthcare organization.Assuming that a large mailbox is sufficient to protect data
In several conversations with healthcare providers, we often get asked this question:
I am using a reliable cloud email service that offers me 50GB or 100GB per mailbox, which is enough. Then why do I need a data protection system for my healthcare organization?
Keeping emails in active mailboxes is not a safe backup for your email data. These emails are prone to tampering, theft, accidental or intentional erasures, corruption, etc. And all this without an audit trail.
In other words, when you examine mailbox contents, you can never be sure it has all the emails ever received or sent by the user. This unknown is not a happy situation when you face a regulatory audit or litigation.
A best practice in a healthcare data management system is to back up your data in an independent infrastructure that offers tamper-resistant storage and industrial-grade security and privacy.

- 1. Why do I need to protect email data as a healthcare company?
Current healthcare providers rely on emails for business communication with patients, staff, regulators, and partners.
These emails carry a bulk of the sensitive and private data about patients, whether it be the latest test results, historical patient information, or medical prescriptions.Â
In the heavily regulated healthcare industry, maintaining this communication data secure and confidential is required to stay compliant and build patient trust.
- 2. I am using a reliable cloud email service that offers me 50GB or 100GB per mailbox, which is enough. Then why do I need a separate data protection system for my healthcare organization?
Attempting to preserve emails in the active mailboxes is not a safe backup for your email data. These emails are prone to tampering, theft, accidental or intentional erasures, corruption, etc.Â
In other words, when you examine mailbox contents, you can never be confident that it has all the emails ever received or sent by the user.Â
This poor posture can undermine your reputation when you face a regulatory audit or litigation.
- 3. What are the key threats to my data as a healthcare organization?
Email-borne threats are on the rise in the healthcare industry. Email is a popular carrier of dangerous payloads, including ransomware, phishing baits, malware, viruses, and more.Â
Distributed working is not making it easier to keep data safe and secure against hackers.Â
