Any company with employees working from home needs to be concerned whether their employees have data security.  It’s not only to protect the employee’s data, but an unsecured or inadequately secured home computer can be used by hackers to penetrate the employer’s network.  While a VPN helps by encrypting the data between the router and the office, it doesn’t screen the home computing devices to identify and eradicate viruses and malware resulting in exposure to the company’s data, financial records, bank accounts, and proprietary information, as well as the information of the company’s clients.  The employer can specify the level of data security  (Low, Medium or High) and inBuilding Connect can provide a standardized level for each employee (or even different by groups).

The American Bar Association imposes an obligation on lawyers to take positive, reasonable steps to safeguard information relating to clients and often have contractual and regulatory duties to protect confidential information.  Some states also impose an obligation to encrypt data and have a data security plan. The consequences of lawyers failing to do can include serious issues, including regulatory penalties, loss of public and client trust, malpractice allegations and lawsuits.  Imagine the ramifications if a lawyer has to explain they haven’t taken any steps to protect the data at home, and they could have done so for a very minor cost.  If a lawyer is working from home at least part of the time, they need to take steps immediately.

People who collect individuals’ health information (known as protected health information of PHI) have special obligations to protect the integrity and non-disclosure of the records.

Let inBuilding Connection help protect you.

Performance, protection and safety.
