HIPAA doesn’t name DMARC, but its Security Rule requires safeguards against threats to electronic protected health information (ePHI) — and email spoofing is a leading vector. Deploying SPF, DKIM and DMARC at enforcement is a recognized safeguard that stops attackers impersonating your healthcare domain.
Healthcare is a top phishing target. Spoofed emails that appear to come from a clinic or hospital can harvest credentials or ePHI. Enforced DMARC prevents exact-domain spoofing of your organization, protecting patients and staff.
Authenticate all legitimate senders (EHR systems, portals, billing, marketing), publish DMARC, monitor reports, and enforce. Document the control as part of your HIPAA risk-management program.
