SECURITY AREAS
Six key areas where we implement advanced security measures to protect your data.
AES-256 encryption at rest for all PHI and TLS 1.3 encryption for data in transit.
Role-based access control with multi-factor authentication for all users.
Firewalls, intrusion detection, and DDoS protection with regular vulnerability scanning.
Secure data centers with badge access controls and surveillance monitoring.
Background checks, annual HIPAA training, and comprehensive security policies.
24/7 monitoring with documented response procedures and breach notification.
We implement industry-leading encryption standards to protect your data both at rest and in transit. All protected health information is encrypted using AES-256, the same standard used by the U.S. government for classified information.
