REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Communication Intelligence Corporation ("CIC") (OTCQB:CICI), a leading supplier of electronic signature and other software solutions enabling secure and cost-effective management of document-based digital transactions, today announced that Sword & Shield Enterprise Security, Inc. ("Sword & Shield"), an independent information security service provider, completed an assessment confirming that CIC is compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) security rules and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
"Maintaining our information technology infrastructure in a highly secure and compliant manner is of utmost importance to us," said Nhan Nguyen, chief security officer for CIC. "We understand the importance of safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI) and our HIPAA compliant status assures that we have implemented the necessary security measures to safeguard ePHI covered under HIPAA and HITECH."

CIC's HIPAA compliant iSign® Enterprise and related products and services provide the ultimate solution for healthcare firms interested in a fully electronic platform.
