Overview

Personal Identifiable Information (PII), Protected Health Information (PHI), and payment data require robust protection to prevent unauthorized access and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. At Intrada Technologies, we employ advanced security measures, continual system updates, and comprehensive training initiatives to safeguard sensitive data against evolving cyber threats.

Personal Identifiable Information ( PII ) includes data that can identify an individual, such as names, contact details, biometric data, or IP addresses. Protecting PII is crucial to prevent fraud and unauthorized access to personal information. At Intrada Technologies, we prioritize PII security through advanced measures like encryption, thorough employee vetting, and robust authentication protocols. Regular system updates and monitoring ensure continual protection against emerging threats.

Protected Health Information (PHI) and  HIPAA  Compliance

Adhering to the same rigorous standards, PHI under the  HIPAA  Privacy Rule is given utmost attention to ensure its security and confidentiality. Recognizing the high value of medical records to unscrupulous entities, we deploy stringent measures, including encryption, access limitation, and regular system audits, to secure PHI against unauthorized access.

Payment Card Industry (  PCI  ) Compliance

Given the sensitive nature of credit card information, we stress the avoidance of transmitting credit card details through insecure mediums. We adhere strictly to  PCI  Data Security Standards to ensure the secure handling and storage of credit card information, further emphasizing the importance of annual  PCI  compliance verifications.

Adapting to the Sophistication of Hackers

The evolving landscape of cyber threats, especially against the finance and business services sector, necessitates our unwavering commitment to cyber security. By employing robust security protocols, encryption, access management, and up-to-date systems, we strive to fortress our defense against sophisticated cybercriminal offenses.

Legislation and Cyber Insurance

In response to the increasing cyber threat landscape, legislation such as the Regular Session 2021-2022 - House Bill 1126 calls for enhanced consumer data protection. Additionally, the significance of cyber insurance in mitigating financial losses post-incident is highlighted as crucial, yet not a replacement for thorough security measures.

Training and Awareness

To fortify our defenses, extensive training and regular awareness initiatives are undertaken to equip our staff with the necessary skills to identify and mitigate cyber threats proactively. Intrada Technologies prides itself on fostering a culture of security awareness and preparedness.

Commitment to Our Customers
