Proven scanning and detection capabilities provide extra
security and reassurance
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in
email data protection, announces that Goodwin House has
renewed its contract with ZixCorp in a five-year agreement. Goodwin
House owns and operates retirement communities in Virginia and
began using Zix Email Encryption in 2010 to securely communicate
protected health information (PHI) for residents who are receiving
healthcare or assisted living services.
All Goodwin House employees use ZixGateway® to
protect its residents’ privacy in email and comply with the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
ZixGateway is a policy-based email encryption service that
automatically scans and encrypts outbound email containing
sensitive information. Its ease of use combined with proven
scanning and detection capabilities were the top factors in Goodwin
House’s decision to renew with ZixCorp.
“Protecting our residents’ privacy is essential to maintaining
their trust and providing the quality services they expect from our
organization,” said David Fowler, Director of Information
Technology for Goodwin House. “We recognize the importance of
communicating PHI securely and require a solution that our
employees can use comfortably on a daily basis. Not only does
ZixCorp’s solution make secure email easy for our employees, but
its out-of-the-box policies prevent disclosure errors with
automatic scanning and encryption, providing added reassurance that
our residents’ valuable information is protected.”
To properly identify and protect sensitive information in email,
ZixCorp uses sophisticated lexicons that recognize sensitive
information as defined by special policies for healthcare,
insurance, finance and research industries. Lexicons are also
available to identify social security numbers, profanity and
personal information protected by state regulations.
“More than 15 years of experience in email encryption, along
with our dedication to innovation, has allowed us to refine an
out-of-the-box solution that customers can deploy in a day and
confidently use for years to come,” said Rick Spurr,
ZixCorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Every component,
from our lexicons to our unique community approach, is critical to
making the industry’s easiest to use solution, and we appreciate
Goodwin House for seeing the value in our email encryption and
continuing to rely on ZixCorp to meet their email data protection
and compliance needs.”
