Zendesk Messaging Security for HIPAA Accounts
What are the security measures for using Zendesk messaging with HIPAA accounts?
When using Zendesk messaging with HIPAA accounts, certain security measures must be implemented to protect ePHI.
Subscribers should avoid enabling social media messaging integrations unless they ensure no ePHI is present or have a BAA with the platforms. File attachments in messaging should be disabled or secured, and agents should be trained to avoid sharing ePHI. Persistent web widget conversations should be managed to prevent unauthorized access, and JWT authentication should be implemented securely with frequent key rotations.
