Secure Messaging Solution Now Available to
U.S. Cellular Customers Protects Confidential Conversations and
Accelerates Workflows
TigerText today announced they have begun offering its secure
messaging enterprise technology to the customers of U.S. Cellular
(NYSE: USM). This secure messaging solution enables customers to
protect private and restricted conversations and accelerate
workflows via text messaging with the security and confidentiality
required by legal and regulatory standards, such as the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
“We’re excited to be working with U.S. Cellular to bring secure
messaging solutions to a growing number of businesses and
individuals who need them to communicate and do their jobs more
efficiently,” said Brad Brooks, TigerText co-founder and president.
“As companies and individuals face the growing challenge of
streamlining communication while keeping their information secure,
we’ve seen an increased demand for TigerText’s messaging
solutions.”
U.S. Cellular customers can access TigerText’s secure and
private network directly from their smartphones. TigerText service
fees will be conveniently added onto their monthly U.S. Cellular
bill, allowing customers to view and pay their bill all in one
place.
“With heightened concerns around privacy and related
regulations, it’s critical that our customers can rely on U.S.
Cellular to offer a text messaging option for businesses and
governments to safeguard their secure conversations and
communications,” said Scott Scheuber, director of product
management at U.S. Cellular. “TigerText services are an ideal
solution for our customers who require secure messaging and
communications for their enterprises and beyond.”
Secure messaging has become a widely used form of communication
within healthcare organizations where patient care teams benefit
from real-time communication, but must comply with HIPAA
regulations. HIPAA encompasses a wide-range of security and privacy
measures created to protect health information (PHI) whether in
transit or storage. It applies to health plans, healthcare
clearinghouses and any healthcare provider who handles PHI.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, any
person who knowingly obtains or discloses individually identifiable
health information in violation of HIPAA may face civil or criminal
penalties.
TigerText is the only secure messaging provider that offers a $1
million HIPAA compliance guarantee to its customers, demonstrating
its high level of protection and assurance that every message sent
on its platform is safe and secure. In addition, the TigerText
messaging platform is in compliance with regulations required by
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (FINRA).
Data charges may apply.
