The regulations under HIPAA do not state that email encryption is mandatory, but do specify that encryption is an “addressable specification” for controlling access to PHI. The strong and tested encryption algorithms used at Co-Mail put all PHI access under your control. Encryption is the most appropriate and cost-effective method, especially compared to developing and deploying your own network.
