  • 1.  Z Security and HIPPA

    Posted 10/23/19 08:28 PM
    Hi all,
    I am in quest of designing a new system for a pediatric group in Los Angeles and i was wondering if 
     anyone used Zsecurity in a HIPPA Compliant environment? Are there any conflicts?

    Thanks in advance, 
    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    zSecure  does not collect or specifically process any sensitive personal information by itself. Of course, it is possible that you process a security database or external file with it that contains such data. You would have to know that, and know how to handle that; the product is agnostic. You should of course use the HIPAA-compliant way of reporting product issues if you want to report any.

    I hope this helps,

    Jeroen

    Hi Ben,

    I'm currently investigating on multiple regulatory / compliance requirements (PCI-DSS, FedRAMP etc) to built into the IBM Z platform from Linux perspective. I can provide some insights on the work I'm doing and see if HIPAA related controls are already covered.

    Thanks
