The Certificate of Encryption Awareness Proficiency (CEAP) course offers pragmatic training covering basic security and encryption strategies for healthcare environments. Federal regulations specifically exempt encrypted Protected Health Information (PHI) from breach reporting requirements. A lost laptop containing unencrypted PHI is a major breach and a financial and reputational disaster. The same laptop with encrypted data is not a reportable breach.

* Discuss Federal healthcare regulations on encryption
