Zix Corp. (ZIXI) and Goodwin House Renew Contract for Email Security Solution
Zix announced today that it has renewed its contract with Goodwin House for a period of five years. Goodwin House has used Zix Email Encryption since 2010 to securely communicate protected health information for the residents in its retirement communities in Virginia.
Goodwin House uses ZixGateway® to protect its residents’ privacy and comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). ZixGateway is a policy-based email encryption service that automatically scans and encrypts outbound email containing sensitive information. Its ease of use and proven scanning and detection capabilities were the top factors in Goodwin House’s decision to renew the contract with ZixCorp.
“Protecting our residents’ privacy is essential to maintaining their trust and providing the quality services they expect from our organization,” said David Fowler, Director of Information Technology for Goodwin House. “We recognize the importance of communicating health information securely and require a solution that our employees can use comfortably on a daily basis. Not only does ZixCorp’s solution make secure email easy for our employees, but its policies prevent disclosure errors with automatic scanning and encryption, providing added reassurance that our residents’ valuable information is protected.”
ZixCorp’s technology employs sophisticated lexicons to properly identify and protect sensitive information identified by healthcare, research, financial, and insurance industries. The company’s lexicons can also identify social security numbers, profanity, and personal information protected by state regulations.
“More than 15 years of experience in email encryption, along with our dedication to innovation, has allowed us to refine an out-of-the-box solution that customers can deploy in a day and confidently use for years to come,” said Rick Spurr, ZixCorp’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Every component is critical to making the industry’s easiest to use solution, and we appreciate Goodwin House for seeing the value in our email encryption and continuing to rely on ZixCorp to meet their email data protection and compliance needs.”
