Certification and compliance with FFM including computer and internet security.
A potential client, and insurance agent, with two computers and an Internet connection has approached me about upgrading to better computers (they're ten years old on XP) as he is going to participate in a private healthcare exchange. I'm good on the computer upgrades and software, but I'm stumped on his email needs.
He tells me he needs secure email that complies with the following statement: "Certification and compliance with FFM including computer and internet security." FFM is "Federally Facilitated Marketplace" (the exchange, I presume).
Anyone know what I need to do re his email and other security?

ChrisHanna_MVP, thank you for your thoughts. I of course have asked him, he has nothing to help, and as he is my client I have opted not to point out this shortcoming. Current email is web-based Yahoo...one of the most insecure I know.
Breadtan, thank you ever so much. It looks like there's an answer in there but I need a couple days to study this. I will respond as soon as I can.

Thanks to both of you for comments. However, nowhere in what I've read from above does it say what the government is defining as secure. Why can't these dweebs define it so we don't run afoul of the law?

All helpful information, does not indicated the real answer, but I'm going to comply with HIPAA requirements until the client can find the actual requirements. Government, geez.
Pls don't misinterpret...all of this information was helpful. Think I may use hushmail.

How does he get his email now? POP3 from an ISP?
