Device Security Resources and Tools
Secure Your Devices to meet HIPAA Security Requirements
(no techy experience needed!)
Avoid security breaches with devices secured according to HIPAA guidelines and get it done with ease.
Part of what lets vulnerable clients know they can trust us with their stories is the knowledge that we regard those stories as sacred and private.
So that raises a question: how do we hold a safe, secure space when clients communicate with us by email, text, or phone?
It all starts with you, your processes… and your devices.
A Must For Clinicians
-
we’re not just writing our progress notes or sending emails through our devices; we’re providing all our client care through our devices too.
-
powerful tools can also make the client information they’re used to access and handle very vulnerable if not properly secured.
In the COVID context, security vulnerabilities of devices and online systems are being exploited at record rates and with very real consequences.
Keeping your client’s private information safe from the most common and easily prevented risks is simple, once you know what to do.
Goals: Keep clients’ private information safe from the most common and easily prevented HIPAA Security risks while addressing your real-world communication needs…. all in one afternoon.
