Some would call it a no-brainer: Where should you locate a company that provides the highest level secure email solutions?  Obviously… in the most security conscious region of the world: the Virginia/DC area.  And if the solutions are effective in the DC area, the rest of the world should feel equally confident in Aliroo’s solutions.

According to Yair Granek who leads the Business Development for Aliroo, “HIPPAA regulations were created in Washington DC.  Since new standards are developed in the region, our new US headquarters allows us to keep our fingers on the pulse at all times.”

Developed in partnership with Kodak Health Imaging Group, Secured Email System (SES) assures the highest level of compliance and security for both text and digital imaging. 

According to Mr. Granek, “our GSA approval enables us to provide solutions to the Government as well as health and financial institutions.”
