SecureDoc for Healthcare and Life Sciences

Laptops in common use contain information critical to lifesaving activities – how can an organization defend this data from breaches without slowing down authorized users when patient health is on the line?

Doctors and nurses need access to patient information but should not access financial data that may be stored on the same device or machine. How can separation of duties be achieved without a loss in productivity?

How can healthcare organizations mitigate the risks associated with accidental or intentional copying of sensitive data to CD/DVDs, music players or phones connected to encrypted machines?

Healthcare and life sciences organizations routinely collect large amounts of personal health information (PHI). Personal health information can be used to increase the quality of healthcare while also reducing costs – however, regulation and ethical concerns drive the need to protect this information. For hospitals in particular, there are often many people in varying roles that require access, which complicates the challenge of protecting this data.

That’s where SecureDoc comes in.

SecureDoc helps you secure PHI across your organization, ensuring compliance with legislation and protection of confidentiality at a low total cost of ownership (with transparent deployment and control to avoid affecting productivity). Full-disk encryption with pre-boot authentication represents the most secure and complete protection for this sensitive and personal data. In addition, the ability to synchronize encryption keys, key files, and group files with Active Directory provides healthcare facilities the added benefit of securely sharing PHI files internally within a group of authorized users with NO PASSWORDS REQUIRED, while keeping the sensitive data secured.

SecureDoc is deployed at leading hospitals and health sciences organizations worldwide including Children’s Hospital of Denver, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Hospital for Sick Children.

What can SecureDoc do for Healthcare and Life Sciences?
SecureDoc represents a complete data security solution that offers government-grade encryption to protect PHI throughout the organization. SecureDoc enables healthcare professionals to continue working as they did before encryption was deployed – yet if a laptop or USB thumb drive goes missing, the organization can have peace of mind knowing that the sensitive patient data is protected.
