Are you in you in charge of data protection and disaster recovery at your healthcare organization? Are you skeptical of the security measures cloud providers use to try and assuage your fears? You should be, it is impossible to guarantee that a data breach or loss won't happen, no matter how much they spend on a particular solution. That being said, you can mitigate the risks associated with offsite or cloud offerings by properly vetting vendors and taking advantage of additional measures such as data encryption, before so that you are protected from compliance issues in the event of a breach.
