BedWatch Security Protocols Exceed HIPAA Standards

Written by Steve Jourdan | Feb 25, 2015 5:13:00 PM

At BedWatch, we understand that data security is paramount. As the U.S. healthcare market relies more and more on technology throughout all hospital departments, security protocols continue to evolve and improve to meet the increasing threat of hacking.

Recent healthcare data breaches underscore the vital importance of taking security seriously, especially when it comes to handling patient data.

BedWatch products feature the latest in authentication, including multi-factor authentication, IP range restriction, and customizable settings for passwords lengths, complexity, and expirations. We also use role-based access controls, so you can ensure that users only have as much access to the application and data as they need to perform their tasks.

All data within BedWatch is encrypted “in flight” using SSL, HTTPS, and VPN protocols, whenever it is being transmitted between systems over the Internet. BedWatch data is also encrypted “at rest” in our databases. This exceeds current HIPAA data security requirements and helps ensure that your data is protected at all times.
