Patni Computing Systems, an IT provider and software developer, is working to comply with the HIPAA regulations and Sarbanes-Oxley just like most healthcare organizations in the US-except the company is located in Mumbai, India.
Because Patni has several clients from the US sending data to the Mumbai headquarters and because the company develops software for American companies who must meet the requirements of these security laws, Patni has adopted a strict enforcement policy, according to TechWeb News. Its goal: to meet the standards set by HIPAA and create software that can be used in the US for HIPAA-compliant work.
Complying with these regs won't require adding much to the company's current security measures, Satish Joshi, Patni's chief technology officer and senior VP, told TechWeb News. Patni presently controls and restricts its data center, backup, and storage; limits access to information; and requires its employees to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
