THE PROBLEM
HIPAA and FDA expect durable confidentiality
HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to protect electronic PHI with appropriate safeguards. Long-lived clinical records make Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later a real, current-day threat.
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requires trustworthy and reliable electronic records and signatures for regulated medical devices and clinical systems — including cryptographic controls that must remain valid across the device lifecycle.
Legacy EHR, PACS, and medical-device stacks embed cryptography deep in application code, making algorithm migration slow and risky without an orchestration layer.
- HIPAA Security Rule — technical safeguards for electronic PHI
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 — electronic records and electronic signatures
- IEC 62443 / FDA pre-market guidance — medical-device cybersecurity
- HITECH — breach notification obligations for compromised PHI
HOW ANKASECURE© HELPS
ANKASecure© capabilities that matter in healthcare
Discover hardcoded cryptography inside EHR, PACS, lab and medical-device firmware stacks.
