It is too hard to access my work email from home? My work requires HIPAA compliance

Why do they make it so hard for me to access my work email from home or on my phone?

Is HIPAA compliance really that hard?

It depends. The original question came from a semi-government worker.

I'm aware of this resource for HIPAA compliance relating to mobile devices.

I believe the problem with the original posters problems is that it possibly also involves state/government systems not just a small company like a medical office trying to be HIPAA compliant.

Small & medium size companies can get LuxSci for easy HIPAA compliance of their email and web services.

I worked for a doctor's office and it wasn't very big at all and the providers could access their messages and patient's charts from home. (I believe they could also access them on their phones)
