Do you mean what are the capabilities required to securely transmit electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) over a network in a manner that meets the HIPAA Security Rule requirements for the healthcare industry? These would be:

• Encryption
• Access Control
• Data Integrity
• Audit Controls
• Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
• Risk Assessment and Management

• Policies and Procedures
