Maximizing Security and Compliance with Synology C2: Your Ultimate Guide
At Synology, we understand the critical importance of maintaining the security, confidentiality, and integrity of sensitive data, particularly in the healthcare sector where protected health information (PHI) must be safeguarded in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). With the Synology C2 platform, we offer a comprehensive suite of tools and features meticulously designed to address the unique challenges faced by healthcare operators in ensuring HIPAA compliance while maximizing data protection and auditability.
Security and Privacy at the Core
Rigorous Access Controls
Our platform boasts platform-wide and service-specific tools and settings that meticulously control access to electronic PHI (ePHI), ensuring that only authorized personnel can view and interact with sensitive data. By implementing robust authentication mechanisms and role-based access controls, Synology C2 empowers organizations to enforce strict access policies tailored to their specific needs.
Infrastructure Integrity and Availability
Synology C2 is built upon a secure infrastructure designed to mitigate the risks of data loss, corruption, and service downtime. Through meticulous infrastructure design and redundancy safeguards, we minimize the likelihood of disruptions while ensuring the integrity and availability of critical healthcare data.
Preventing Unauthorized Access
One of the core tenets of HIPAA compliance is preventing unauthorized access to ePHI. Synology C2 addresses this challenge by offering configurable services that can operate in a “no-view” mode, effectively eliminating the risk of unauthorized data exposure. Additionally, each service within the Synology C2 ecosystem is fortified with robust data protection mechanisms such as end-to-end encryption and client-side encryption, ensuring that sensitive data remains confidential and secure at all times.
Regulating and Auditing Access
Thoughtful Access Management Features
Synology C2 provides meticulously designed features that afford organizations granular control over who can access health data, both internally and externally. With comprehensive audit logging capabilities, administrators can track and monitor user actions related to accessing, transferring, or downloading patient data, facilitating compliance with HIPAA’s stringent audit requirements.
Secure Platform Access
Access to all Synology C2 services is gated behind a Synology Account, which can be further fortified with multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security. Detailed login records provide administrators with visibility into account activities, enabling prompt detection and response to any suspicious behavior.
Granular Sharing Settings
To mitigate the risks associated with data sharing, Synology C2 offers a suite of granular sharing settings that enable organizations to limit the circulation of ePHI. Features such as password protection, expiration dates for share links, and one-time password verification for file transfers via C2 Transfer ensure that sensitive data remains protected throughout its lifecycle.
Dependable Infrastructure You Can Trust
Certified Data Centers
All data stored on the Synology C2 platform is housed in certified colocation data centers, where stringent security procedures and physical safety measures are rigorously enforced. With ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, clients can rest assured that their data is safeguarded against unauthorized access and physical threats.
Redundancy Safeguards
Synology C2 leverages erasure coding technology to maximize data redundancy while enabling rapid detection and repair of corrupted data. By isolating data from the risks of hardware failure, our platform ensures the continuous availability and integrity of critical healthcare data.
Compliance with Local Regulations
With data centers located in Europe, Taiwan, and the US, Synology C2 enables clients to comply with local regulations governing data residency and sovereignty. Whether adhering to US or EU data residency requirements, organizations can leverage our platform with confidence, knowing that their data remains within regulatory compliance boundaries.
