Protect patient
data everywhere.

End-to-end protection for Protected Health Information — encryption, data loss prevention, access controls, and audit logging across every system and device that touches patient data.

The challenge

What healthcare practices face every day.

Patient data is among the most valuable and most regulated data in existence. The consequences of a PHI breach extend far beyond IT — affecting patients, practice reputation, and regulatory standing.

PHI in Unknown Locations

PHI rarely stays where it's supposed to. Clinical staff copy data to local drives, personal email, USB devices, and shared drives — creating shadow copies that are invisible to auditors and unprotected by policy.

mail

PHI in Unencrypted Email

Sending PHI by unencrypted email is a common HIPAA violation. Many practices do it without realizing it — and without the technical controls to detect or prevent it.

Lost & Stolen Device Risk

A laptop, tablet, or mobile phone containing unencrypted PHI, lost or stolen, constitutes a reportable HIPAA breach requiring patient notification and HHS reporting. Encryption removes this exposure.

Former Employee Data Access

When staff leave without proper IT offboarding, they often retain access to systems containing PHI for days, weeks, or indefinitely. This is a HIPAA access control violation and a genuine data exposure risk.

No PHI Audit Trail

HIPAA requires the ability to track who accessed PHI, when, and from where. Most practices cannot produce this audit trail — making it impossible to detect inappropriate access or satisfy a regulatory investigation.

Third-Party Data Sharing Risk

PHI shared with billing companies, transcription services, and other vendors without proper controls and documented BAAs creates regulatory exposure that extends to the practice even when the vendor causes a breach.

How Lexcom helps

What we deliver.

undefined

lock

Encryption at Rest & in Transit

Full disk encryption on all managed devices and servers. TLS enforcement for all PHI transmitted over the network. Encryption key management and documentation for HIPAA audit purposes.

policy

Data Loss Prevention (DLP)

Microsoft Purview DLP policies that detect and prevent PHI being sent to unauthorized destinations — including personal email, external USB drives, and unauthorized cloud storage.

manage_accounts

Access Control & Least Privilege

Role-based access controls ensuring clinical staff can access the PHI they need — and no more. Quarterly access reviews with documented findings and remediation tracking.

description

PHI Audit Logging & Reporting

Centralized audit logging across all systems that handle PHI — with reporting capability to answer "who accessed what PHI, when, and from where" for any requested timeframe.

mobile_off

Device Encryption & Remote Wipe

Encryption enforcement and remote wipe capability for all managed devices — including BYOD mobile devices accessing practice systems. Lost device incidents become manageable, not reportable.

Third-Party Data Handling Controls

Vendor assessment for all third parties handling PHI, BAA management, and contractual data handling requirements — so practice liability is appropriately allocated and documented.

Case study

How a multi-location clinic eliminated unencrypted PHI transmission and passed a payer audit.

Multi-location medical clinic · [XX] providers

From PHI exposure to verifiable data protection in [XX] weeks.

A [XX]-location clinic was sending PHI by unencrypted email, had no DLP controls, and could not produce an access audit log when asked by a payer. Lexcom deployed email encryption, DLP policies, centralized audit logging, and delivered a full device encryption rollout across all locations — enabling the clinic to pass a subsequent payer audit with complete documentation.
