Using Paubox to make Adobe Campaign HIPAA compliant

Adobe Campaign Classic, when installed on a customer's server (on-premises), can be configured for HIPAA compliance. Here's how it addresses two aspects:

1. Data at rest encryption: Adobe Campaign Classic can run on Windows or Linux systems, both allowing for straightforward encryption of entire disk drives. This makes sure that data stored on the server is encrypted at rest.
2. Data in motion encryption: While Adobe Campaign Classic doesn't natively offer encryption for emails sent to all recipients, it can use the Paubox Email API to achieve encryption in transit. This makes sure that data remains protected while being transmitted.

In short, by encrypting data at rest and using the Paubox Email API for encryption in transit, Adobe Campaign Classic can meet HIPAA compliance standards.
