Fax over IP solutions using SIP technology serve as a perfect solution for healthcare organizations by ensuring fax transmission/receipt and provides added levels of security that support HIPAA regulatory standards.
Encrypted FoIP transmission also complement the RightFax encryption module to facilitate end-to-end protection of data both ‘in motion’ and at rest on the RightFax server. And with the ever-growing importance of secure faxing for health care, in particular, there has never been a better time to discuss this innovative SIP/FoIP standard with your RightFax support provider.
