Silex Technology America, Inc. has published two free white papers on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and the Sarbanes-Oxley Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act (SOX). The papers show healthcare and public companies how they can quickly comply within their current technology infrastructures utilizing new biometrics technology.

Most companies that need to meet HIPAA or SOX requirements already understand they need to look at their technology processes and security, said David Smith, silex technology america president. "What they don't always understand, and what these white papers discuss, is how a few simple, yet, efficient biometric security implementations within their current infrastructures can provide security and privacy quickly to help meet compliancy requirements now."

Providing Security and Privacy Within Healthcare Facilities, a white paper discussing the compliant issues that can be overcome by implementing fingerprint authentication systems, and Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance: Security at the Heart of Internal Controls, a white paper that looks at how biometrics technology facilitate internal controls necessary to comply with SOX, both discuss biometric implementations companies can conduct now to meet requirements and are available directly from silex.
