PHI Anonymization & HIPAA Data Compliance Services
IRI offers more than just software to protect your PHI. Our Data Masking as a Service, and our available HIPAA Compliance Course, provide end-to-end programs that ensures you know what and where your PHI is and how to protect it -- by yourself, or through us.
See this page for IRI Data Masking as a Service (DMaaS).
The HIPAA Compliance Course is a three-hour, five-part program that covers de-identification and risk scoring processes applied to a set of structured PHI data containing key- and quasi-identifiers. Once applied, we address how to verify compliance and other topics with certification, breach insurance, and breach claim defense.
