1. Introduction
At HealthLucid, we take the security of your personal, health, and financial information seriously. We implement a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of the information we collect and maintain. Below is an overview of our security practices, which are designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including HIPAA for health information and GLBA for financial data.
2. Administrative Safeguards
- Security Policies and Procedures
We maintain written security policies and procedures to guide our workforce in properly handling sensitive data. These documents outline roles, responsibilities, and protocols for data handling, incident response, and breach notification. - Workforce Training and Management
All employees, contractors, and temporary workers who access sensitive data receive regular security awareness training. This includes instruction on recognizing phishing attempts, handling Protected Health Information (PHI), and safeguarding financial data. - Access Control
We follow the principle of “least privilege,” granting access only to those who need it to perform their job duties. User accounts are reviewed periodically, and access is revoked promptly when no longer needed (e.g., employee termination). - Vendor and Business Associate Management
- Business Associates: For vendors handling PHI on our behalf, we enter into Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to ensure they also comply with HIPAA’s security requirements.
- Service Providers: For financial data, we include necessary data protection clauses in our contracts to meet GLBA or other regulatory requirements.
3. Technical Safeguards
- Encryption
- Data in Transit: We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data transmitted between your device and our servers.
- Data at Rest: Stored data (including PHI and financial information) is encrypted using industry-standard algorithms.
- Authentication and Authorization
- Strong Password Policies: We enforce complex password requirements and periodic password changes.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Where feasible, we offer or require MFA for an additional layer of protection.
- Audit Controls and Monitoring
We maintain detailed logs of system access and data usage. These logs are regularly reviewed to detect suspicious activity or unauthorized access attempts. - Secure Development Practices
Our software development lifecycle incorporates secure coding best practices and regular code reviews. We use vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
4. Physical Safeguards
- Secure Facilities
Our servers are hosted in data centers with strong physical security measures, such as key card access, biometric scanners, security cameras, and 24/7 monitoring. - Workstation and Device Security
All company-owned devices employ up-to-date antivirus and malware protection software, password-protected screensavers, and full-disk encryption (where applicable).
5. Risk Management and Assessment
We conduct periodic risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities. Based on these assessments, we implement or update safeguards to mitigate identified risks. We also perform ongoing security evaluations to ensure our measures remain effective against emerging threats.
6. Incident Response and Breach Notification
- Incident Response Team
We have a dedicated incident response team responsible for investigating and managing security incidents. - Breach Notification
In the event of a breach involving your unsecured personal, health, or financial information, we will notify you and any applicable authorities as required by law (e.g., HIPAA, GLBA, state breach notification laws).
7. Updates to This Security Page
We may update our security practices as technology evolves and new threats emerge. Any significant changes to our security measures will be reflected in this Security Page, and we may notify you through additional channels if the changes are substantial.
