ZixCorp Offers New Solution to Strengthen HIPAA Compliance

Press Release | For Immediate Release

Zix Corporation I 2711 N. Haskell Ave. I Suite 2300, LB 36 I Dallas, TX 75204 I phone 866 257 4949 I fax 214 370 2070 I www.zixcorp.com

ZixCorp Offers New Solution to Strengthen HIPAA Compliance

ZixGateway Inbound protects patients, strengthens valuable relationships and assists in complying with new HIPAA regulations
DALLAS — May 25, 2010 — Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (NASDAQ: ZIXI), the leader in email encryption services, has launched ZixGatewaySM Inbound to provide healthcare organizations a proactive method of identifying unsecured protected health information (PHI) in email. This solution will provide organizations with an additional means of improving compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Using the same industry-proven, healthcare lexicons as the standard ZixGateway policy-based encryption solution for outbound email, ZixGateway Inbound identifies PHI contained in inbound email messages and attachments. If unprotected electronic PHI is detected, ZixGateway Inbound notifies the appropriate internal compliance and data security managers. ZixGateway Inbound provides daily reports logging the details of inbound vulnerabilities, so managers can take appropriate action with email senders.
In its first use, ZixGateway Inbound was successfully implemented with Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS). This new solution had an immediate positive impact on KRS’s risk management and compliance efforts.
“With ZixGateway Inbound, we scan all inbound email, identify potential vulnerabilities from business associates and proactively notify our members if their data has been exposed,” said Mike Burnside, KRS Executive Director. “We also use ZixGateway Inbound as a tool to work closely with our business partners and employers, educating them on the importance of secure communication. This is significant, because new HIPAA regulations extend to business associates.”
Recognizing most healthcare providers and health plans engage the services of outside business associates, the HIPAA Privacy Rule allows covered entities to disclose PHI to business associates who appropriately safeguard that information from misuse or breach. As defined under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, a business associate is “a person or organization, other than a member of a covered entity's workforce, that performs certain functions or activities on behalf of, or provides certain services to, a covered entity that involve the use or disclosure of individually
Zix Corporation I 2711 N. Haskell Ave. I Suite 2300, LB 36 I Dallas, TX 75204 I phone 866 257 4949 I fax 214 370 2070 I www.zixcorp.com
identifiable health information.” The HITECH Act extended the HIPAA rules to apply to business associates, who are now held accountable for data breaches through civil and criminal penalties.
“With the increased demand for quality healthcare and operating efficiency, healthcare organizations have to leverage a variety of outside business services, from legal and billing services to EHR implementation. We understand the need to enable those relationships while simultaneously protecting patients and complying with federal regulations,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Through ZixGateway Inbound, we can relieve some of the regulatory burden facing healthcare organizations by enabling them to see and take action on weak privacy and security links outside their organizations.”

LOCKTON AND ZIXCORP HELP HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY WITH CYBER LIABILITY

Combined Expertise Mitigates Email Risks and Increases Compliance for Healthcare Organizations

London and Dallas, 12 May 2010 – Insurance broker Lockton has teamed with Zix Corporation (ZixCorp) (Nasdaq: ZIXI), the leading email encryption service provider, in an innovative relationship to assist healthcare organizations in reducing data breaches and cyber liability. For healthcare organizations that have elected cyber liability insurance coverage, Lockton will offer access to one of the ZixCorp® best-in-class email encryption services, ZixAuditor®, which highlights organizations’ exposures to data breaches and outsourced risks. The combined offering will help healthcare organizations comply with the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
Data breaches of personally identifiable healthcare information can seriously damage a company’s balance sheet as well as their long-term reputation. ZixAuditor is an email assessment service that enables organizations to identify email vulnerabilities, implement more effective procedures and monitor ongoing communications to determine compliance effectiveness. The service helps eligible companies manage the risks associated with sensitive email exchange and provides strategic insight into the company’s inbound and outbound email usage.
Lockton’s Emily Freeman said: “The HITECH Act places huge responsibilities for cyber liability on healthcare companies, even if a data breach does not occur on their premises or is not caused by their own employees. Data is mobile and crosses national borders at the click of a button, and it is increasingly the target of fraudsters, third-party agents and even individuals with a grudge.”
“Healthcare organizations are operating in a regulatory climate that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in the past. Lockton and ZixCorp are two proven teams that can help identify and manage risk,” said Rick Spurr, Chief Executive Officer for Zix Corporation. “We welcome the opportunity to work with the Lockton team.”

ZixCorp Sets New Standard as ZixDirectory™ Crosses New
Milestone with 20 Million Email Encryption Members

DALLAS — February 16, 2010 — Zix Corporation (ZixCorp®), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), the only Email Encryption Service that’s designed with your most important relationships in mind, today announced that its ZixDirectory, the foundation of ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service, marked an industry first, reaching 20 million members. The ZixDirectory members represent everyone who sends or receives encrypted email using ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service.

ZixCorp has always believed the key to successful secure email exchange lies in emphasizing the recipient experience. Obviously, organizations need solutions that are simple to administer and simple to deploy, but of greater importance is the need for a transparent end-user experience.

ZixCorp understands that tolerance for any interruption is very low in today’s enterprise environment while productivity is king; this is particularly true in today’s economy. CIO’s do not want to burden users and employees with additional security hurdles.

Most email encryption solutions are focused on the sender, they typically introduce an added burden on receivers, often requiring additional user authentication with creation of a new user id and password. ZixCorp designed its solution to alleviate the receiver’s burden, by delivering encrypted email automatically and transparently. ZixCorp offers transparent delivery as a result of the ZixDirectory™, the largest email encryption directory in the world. The ZixDirectory is a shared
community of secure email users that send and receive secure, confidential, encrypted email that appears and functions like conventional email. Once a ZixCorp customer, a user enjoys the benefit of trusted email exchange with other ZixDirectory members with no additional burden.

“ZixDirectory is the core of our Email Encryption Service and the core of our differentiation” said Rick Spurr, Chief Executive Officer of ZixCorp. “Our system architecture was specifically built to connect communities of interest. Less sophisticated systems create headaches for users. We’re the only company in the industry that’s built its technology to operate transparently, completely embedded, for both senders and receivers; this is a key differentiator for us in the market.”

Christiana Care Health System Selects Zix Corporation’s Email Encryption Service for HIPAA Compliance

ZixCorp encrypts confidential information and enables transparent email encryption for Delaware-based health system
DALLAS — February 9 , 2010 — Zix Corporation (ZixCorp®), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), the leader in email encryption services, has signed a three-year contract with Christiana Care Health System, a leading Delaware-based regional health system with two hospitals and numerous satellite facilities. ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service will safeguard Christiana Care’s confidential information and facilitate their compliance with the updated Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) legislation.
Protecting sensitive email is vital to every email user. This need is intensified for healthcare organizations due to new HIPAA requirements that call for encryption of PHI while in transit. The new updates to HIPAA contained in the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act introduce significant new consequences for security breaches. The healthcare industry is bracing for extensive enforcement and more punitive penalties. Healthcare companies and their business associates must address the new requirements in order to be compliant with the February 2010 deadline.
“ZixCorp’s Email Encryption Service provides value with an automated and easy-to-use means to assure all our email is secured thus protecting our patient and employee confidential information,” said Karen Gifford, Director of Information Technology for Christiana Care. “The solution takes the manual intervention out by using Lexicons or rules that accurately capture and protect the information. This is critical especially as our government proposes new regulations and reimbursements in protecting protected health information.”
