New York Digital Health and Technology Compliance Attorneys

The modern business world relies upon data and the digital systems that manage it. In particular, the healthcare industry has experienced rapid growth in the storage and use of electronic patient data, electronic health record systems, digital clearinghouses, portals, and other systems used by government agencies and payors. 

These technological innovations have led to tension between the need to use and access electronic data and the right to privacy as well as a host of security and confidentiality considerations.  This is particularly true today as cybercriminals, ransomware, system and internal vulnerabilities and other risks pose enormous threats to businesses of all sizes and industries. 

As a result, state and federal agencies and some industries have created various data privacy and security standards. The multi-faceted and evolving nature of these goals, threats, and legal standards requires a comprehensive understanding of these issues.
