Recommended Information Security Services for Healthcare Facilities
Protect your data with our secure shredding services.
Not everything your organisation collects, stores, or handles is digital. When medical records and prescriptions are printed, or reports are circulated for a meeting, they are at risk of getting into the wrong hands if they are not handled and disposed of properly and securely.
For that reason, every healthcare organisation is at risk regardless of size, type, or location. But in an industry that relies on privacy, the reality is that many information breaches happen not just because of inferior firewalls or weak passwords, but because of employee error or negligence. So, you may be doing everything you can but one member of staff casually dropping an old medical report or prescription into a recycling bin can undo everything.
