Even though its an open system, we still exchange a lot of private data, things like credit card numbers, bank information, passwords, and emails. So how is all this private stuff kept secret?

The decisive advantage of end-to-end encryption is the maximum level of security, the sent messages are encrypted at all times on the way between the communication partners, even the email provider has no access to the content and even within the company data is not available in plain text.
The HHS Office of Civil Rights (OCR), which enforces HIPAA rules, does not recommend a specific type of encryption for data at rest. However, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends protecting PHI data with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

Create a device security policy and use MDM software. Keep Your Systems Updated. Educate Employees and Create a Security Culture. Implement Physical Security Controls.
Currently AES 128, 192, or 256-bit encryption is recommended. For many HIPAA-covered entities, especially smaller healthcare providers that do not have in-house IT staff to ensure their email is HIPAA-compliant, the use of a third-party HIPAA compliant email service provider is strongly recommended.
Once again, the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) does not prescribe a specific type of encryption to use; however, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends the use of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128, 192, or 256-bit encryption, OpenPGP, and S/MIME.
How to Secure Patient Information that is PHI A firewall to prevent unauthorized access to networks and data. A spam filter to block malicious emails harboring malware. A web filter to prevent staff accessing malicious websites. An antivirus solution to detect malware from other sources.
Does HIPAA require encryption? Yes, HIPAA requires encryption of protected health information (PHI) and electronic PHI (ePHI) of patients when the data is at rest, meaning the data is stored on a disk, USB drive, etc. However, there are very specific exceptions.
