Enhance HIPAA Compliance with Secure Texting and PIN Lock

Being able to enhance HIPAA compliance with secure texting and PIN lock is one of the primary reasons why TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard´s secure messaging app has been so successful. The PIN lock feature on the TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard app promotes administrative control to manage usage of the app and ensures that authorized users are using the app in compliance with HIPAA and organizational policies implemented to prevent a breach of ePHI.

How PIN Lock Enhances HIPAA Compliance

PIN lock is a feature on TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard´s secure messaging app which prevents third parties from accessing any ePHI that may have been retrieved or communicated on a mobile device belonging to an authorized user. PIN locks are set by the system administrator and work by the device requesting a PIN number each time an authorized user logs into the secure messaging platform to access securely sent texts or ePHI.

In the event that a personal mobile device is lost, stolen, disposed of – or if the authorized user is found to be in breach of organizational policies – the administrator can prevent ePHI or any messages containing ePHI from being accessed by remotely changing the PIN number.

The PIN lock function enables healthcare organizations to enhance HIPAA compliance and is just one of the many security features integrated into TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard´s secure messaging app that can prevent a breach of ePHI.
