I have a few questions about HIPAA Security rule coming into effect Sep 23, 2013.

I'm running Amazing charts 6.3.3 in a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit Peer to peer environment. 7 computers, one of which is the "main" computer which has the Amazing Charts folder and data. One provider.

per the new regulation, it appears that the folder which has the amazing charts database and imported items needs to be encrypted. ( I already have my backups, including remote backups, encrypted.)

Does anybody know if Amazing Charts has any official guidance on this?

What suggestion do you have for the easiest way to satisfy the new regulation?

I am concerned that some encryption methods could slow down down the system. Also if the method is too robust I worry about data loss.
