Is Aventri HIPAA compliant?

Is Aventri HIPAA compliant?

Event marketing is one way for healthcare companies to stand out from the competition. There's a lot of event management software to help organize your event, but is it HIPAA compliant? Let's review Aventri and if it needs to follow HIPAA security rules.

 

What is Aventri?

 

Aventri is an event management software that can assist you in nearly every aspect of hosting and promoting events.

 

Is Aventri HIPAA compliant?

 

One important feature that healthcare organizations and event planners need to consider is data security. A data breach could be a headache for everyone involved.

Here's what Aventri does to protect data it receives from attendees:

 

  • Controls to prevent unauthorized access to facilities and systems
  • Strong authentication procedures 
  • Strict password protection protocols 
  • Utilizing encryption software
  • Conducting penetration tests

 

While robust data security features are necessary for HIPAA compliance, it's not the only thing to look for in event management software. Covered entities need to ensure that their business associates follow HIPAA security guidelines on keeping electronic protected health information (ePHI) safe from unauthorized users.  This is why it's necessary for covered entities to sign a business associate agreement (BAA) with third-party vendors. The BAA ensures that a business associate is taking the necessary steps to protect the ePHI it receives in its network system. Aventri doesn't mention on its website that it is willing to participate in a BAA, so it's not compliant with HIPAA.

 

Always put security first for online communication

 

Stolen ePHI is a situation that covered entities need to prevent from happening. Sending HIPAA compliant email is often the foundation for protecting ePHI in online communications.
