PGP Universal ensures that sensitive personal and medical information is safe, whether it is in transit or stored in a database, and dramatically alters the risks as health care organizations manage their businesses.

Ensuring Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability
The biggest challenge for health care providers in a post-HIPAA world is how to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected health information (PHI) in electronically transmitted form. PGP Universal provides policy-driven, automatic, secure communications between providers, partners, payors, and patients without the need for any client-installed software.

• Confidentiality – Ensures the people sending information about patients are who they claim to be and the people receiving the electronic messages are the authorized recipients. PGP digital signatures protect electronic prescriptions and medical records with strong encryption and spoof-proof authentication as legally binding as their paper equivalents, assuring health care providers' partners and patients that the emails and documents they receive are authentic.
• Integrity – Ensures the information cannot be not intercepted or altered in any way during transmission or when resident in a corporate server or individual computer. PGP Universal ensures HIPAA-compliant security and privacy protection of all PHI in enterprise emails and attachments sent between an organization and its providers, patients, health care partners, and payors. Instead of guessing which documents contain PHI, PGP Universal secures 100 percent of them.
• Availability – Ensures the information can be accessed by both parties, whether they are in different organizations, on separate networks, or use different email platforms and operating systems. Using patented technology, PGP-enabled emails and documents are fully and easily accessible by all authorized individuals. PGP Universal verifies the sender's and receiver's identities automatically based on the levels of authentication set in an organization's security policy.

PGP Corporation is focused on providing secure solutions for messaging and information storage that use an innovative architectural approach: removing the need for the user to be involved in security policy issues, yet offering uniform policy enforcement throughout the extended enterprise. PGP Universal, now shipping, has been built to be flexible and cost-effective so companies can protect all their information assets.
