Only one more week before XP is no longer supported. Doctors, dentists, insurance companies, basically anyone who deals with confidential customers records, are at risk of being in violation of HIPAA requirements. And it could happen from something as simple as having a single Windows XP system connected to their network! As of April 8th, 2014 Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft. End of Support (EOS) means that Microsoft will no longer provide the technical support, fixes or security updates for Windows XP. Some of the many risks associated with using an unsupported operating system include: • Increased vulnerability to security and compliance risks • Hacking and theft of confidential business data • Higher costs due to computer downtime • Business disruption and potential system failure If you are in the Puget Sound and fall under this issue, contact PC Networks Inc or PM me for assistance in retaining your HIPAA compliance.
