HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and 

Accountability Act)

Passed in 1996, HIPAA is a federal law designed to 

protect medical records and other personal information.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human 

Services does not recognize the HIPAA Compliance 

Certification for products or services. The Cisco 

WebEx security functionality can support a customer’s 

HIPAA compliance requirements. Compliance with 

the HIPAA privacy and security rules is a cradle-

to-grave process imposed on the covered entity 

(for example, the customer). It requires the entity to 

implement the appropriate administrative, physical, 

and technical safeguards when handling protected 

health information. HIPAA is not directly applicable to 

Cisco and other manufacturers of products, software, 

and services that are used by a covered entity.

To be HIPAA compliant, the covered entity will need 

to self-certify that it has the appropriate internal 

policies and practices in place (including people, 

processes, and technology) to comply with the 

HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule standards. 

These practices must cover all areas of data 

handling and network traffic.

Cisco can provide information regarding the 

functionality, technology, and security of Cisco 

WebEx. A HIPAA-covered entity would need to 

consult with its own legal counsel to determine 

whether Cisco WebEx’s functionality is compliant for 

its business processes.

Industry Standards and Certifications

standards, Cisco WebEx also continually maintains
