The Challenge

Complying with HIPAA is a requirement for business associates like Sift that work with private health information (PHI) to build trust with customers and accelerate cloud implementation. Today’s increase in remote work means that ensuring HIPAA compliance is more complicated than in years past, and passing audits requires better training. 

Traditional security awareness training is administered infrequently, non-relevant, and hard to digest. Security standards change all the time, but firms that stick to traditional learning methods find themselves falling behind.  Employees have a hard time retaining information when training is ineffective, and firms pay the price to the tune of millions of dollars. As a firm that works with large quantities of PHI connected to the cloud, Sift Healthcare knew that effective security awareness training was paramount to their continued growth. 

The Solution

Haekka provides Sift Healthcare relevant, digestible, and enjoyable security awareness training embedded into Slack. Being integrated with Slack allows Sift Healthcare employees to update their knowledge and maintain best security practices without disrupting their workday. Haekka is fully customizable with a large catalog of trainings, so Sift Healthcare is able to tailor Haekka to serve their needs.

Haekka allows Sift to assign different training to certain employees, administer quizzes and collect feedback, and provides certificates of completion so users can show they have completed a course.
