Molina Healthcare protects data using dataguise

Molina Healthcare of Long Beach, Calif., has deployed dataguise’s dgmasker and dgdiscover for data security in more than 100 training, development and testing environments.

According to the Fremont, Calif.-based company, its security products will identify and mask the personal health information of Molina’s members and providers, protecting sensitive data and enabling the managed care organization to meet HIPAA compliance requirements.

Molina arranges for the delivery of healthcare services to persons eligible for Medicaid, Medicare and other government-sponsored programs for low-income families and individuals. With licensed health plan subsidiaries across the country, Molina currently serves approximately 1.3 million members.

The company said its dgdiscover and dgmasker are designed to find structured database repositories across an enterprise network, search and discover data in structured databases and then mask or de-identify to protect sensitive data.
