HIPAA Compliance
Voxeo realizes that our health care clients must comply with HIPAA patient information confidentiality requirements. Voxeo has implemented the
following HIPAA compliance steps:
-
All Voxeo employees sign a confidentiality agreement. These agreements make it clear that we reserve the right to terminate any employee if they
cause a confidentiality breach. These confidentiality agreements also provide sanctions for employees as recommended by HIPAA.
-
All patient-and-provider-specific information and electronic data that we receive or generate as a result of delivering our services is treated as
confidential. Access to such information is provided only to a limited set of Voxeo employees in our network operations team. Such electronic
data is stored only on secure servers which can be accessed only via a unique per-employee user name, password, and RSA SecureID two-factor
authentication card.
-
Voxeo does not allow patient or provider information to be printed at any time.
-
Voxeo does not share any patient or provider information with any of our vendors, clients, partners, contractors, or temporary or part-time
employees.

security policies, procedures, and technology. Our Privacy Officer also works closely with Voxeo clients to understand their requirements and to
ensure Voxeo complies with them. Our Privacy Officer monitors the ongoing requirements of HIPAA and is designated to receive and address any

ISO 17799 Compliance
Voxeo's products and services are designed to support the requirements of ISO 17799, the most widely recognized international security standard. ISO
17799 addresses ten major areas of information security, including: business continuity planning, system access control, system development and
maintenance, physical and environmental security, legal compliance, personnel security, organization, system and network management, asset control,
and security policies.
Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance
The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard is a worldwide standard for payment card and consumer financial data protection. It
incorporates the requirements of the Visa USA Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP) and the Visa International Account Information Security
(AIS) program, the MasterCard International Site Data Protection (SDP) program, as well as the security requirements of American Express DSS,
DiscoverCard DISC and the Japan Credit Bureau (JCB).
To be in compliance with this standard, all of our Internet connections, assigned IP addresses, and all Internet connected servers (Web, email, DNS,
etc.) must have no level 3, 4 or 5 severity vulnerabilities in their most recent security audit. Audits must be conducted at least every 90 days.
VISA and Mastercard now require all merchants to adhere to the PCI security standard.
Our compliance with PCI standards is certified by an approved PCI compliance scanning and auditing firm.
In order to maintain PCI Compliance certification, all publicly accessible internet devices and any associated domain(s) hosted on them must have
been audited within the past three months, and all vulnerabilities categorized as Urgent, Critical, or High severity (Level 3 or greater) must have
been
corrected within 72 hours of their discovery.
Our sites are tested with industry-standard PCI Compliance remote vulnerability testing, and are tested at least every 90 days to pass
all external vulnerability audit recommendations of the Department of Homeland Security's National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), the
SANS/FBI Top 20 Internet Security Vulnerabilities list, as well as the vulnerability audit requirements of Visa's CISP and AIS, MasterCard's SDP, American Express'
DSS and Discover Card's DISC security standards.
