How companies subject to HIPAA requirements manage sensitive data with Datadog

Healthcare organizations face challenges in managing and processing vast amounts of personal information while adhering to HIPAA requirements. To protect patient data, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes guidelines for handling protected health information (PHI). Datadog's Sensitive Data Scanner helps healthcare organizations discover PII at scale, classify sensitive healthcare data using granular rules, and redact results to prevent HIPAA-protected data from leaking into their systems. This tool enables users to create scanning groups, define scanning rules, and automate tagging for easy investigation and remediation of potential sensitive data leaks.
