First, software is not inherently HIPAA Compliant. It depends on how you use it.<br />

That said, PC Anywere logs only to the local computer, so if you have a log management and reporting solution (which is required by HIPAA) based on getting logs from the domain controllers, TS will work with it, whereas PCA won't.

So you are saying that my company can be HIPAA complaint while using Terminal Server? &nbsp;I guess that was my real question. &nbsp;We want clients to have the ability to view their accounts via Terminal Server so we want to make sure this would not have an affect with respect to HIPAA compliance.<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />

Yes, it is possible to be HIPAA Compliant and use Terminal Server. Whether you are compliant currently or will implement TS in such a way to remain compliant, is another matter howerver.

Terminal Server and HIPAA Compliance

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
