Why healthcare has a higher risk of a data breach?

One of the main reasons is the type of collected and stored data. Healthcare organizations process very detailed records of patients’ personal information, including names, dates of birth, addresses, social security numbers, payment accounts information, etc.

Collecting sensitive personal data increases the risks of data attacks. Additionally, healthcare data tends to fetch a higher amount on the black markets than other stolen data types. For these reasons, data safety is an essential part of the healthcare industry to protect confidential patient information and comply with regulations like those mandated by HIPAA. We can help you to pursue a proactive approach to stability instead of reacting when a problem occurred.

Why you need data security?

In general, security measures are needed to include security protocols for employees, patients, vendors, suppliers, contractors. Data access permissions such as access to the patient diagnoses, treatment plans, prescriptions, insurance information, and billing records need to be tightly controlled on a need-to-know basis. Not everyone needs access to this data. Access must be limited to only those responsible for processing insurance claims and billing.

Data encryption

If you transfer data from workstations to servers, the internet, or cloud-based systems, using data encryption is vital. Our data encryption solutions offer the currently highest available security level.

System monitoring apps

Several types of apps can monitor different procedures, operations, and processes. We can develop an app for you to see who works with your files, accessing, updating, creating, moving, and deleting them. Another app can help identify unauthorized access, changes to user accounts and detect data breaches.

Using a unified monitoring and analysis tool helps you to focus your efforts by discovering all devices and servers, then isolating performance issues. Collaboration tools that work across mobile devices and desktops are essential to limit downtime when issues occur.

Multi-factor authentication

The best way to protect your data is to use multifactor authentication that verifies username and passwords and requires entering a one-time user passcode sent to their mobile phone or email account.

Ransomware protection

A malicious ransomware attack locks you out of your systems until you pay the hacker. There is no guarantee of full restore of your access to your data even after paying the ransom. it’s good to have an app that protects your workstations and servers from ransomware.
