PII Protection and Awareness Procedures and Policies
 |
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) encompasses any information that can identify an individual, such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, and even IP addresses. It also includes unique personal characteristics like biometric data, photographs in recognizable contexts, or an individual's voice characteristics. The importance of securing PII lies in its capacity to protect individuals from unauthorized access to their personal and financial information, thereby preventing scams and fraudulent activities.
At Intrada Technologies, the safeguarding of PII is paramount. We employ a comprehensive suite of security measures, including encryption and rigorous employee vetting, to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of our customers' PII. Our advanced authentication protocols are designed to verify a user's identity meticulously before allowing access to sensitive information. Continuous surveillance and updates of our security practices are regular to mitigate any emerging threats effectively.
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
Intrada Technologies remains steadfast in our commitment to protect and secure our customers’ data. Through continuous improvement in our security protocols and staying informed of the latest in cyber security trends, we assure our clients of the safety of their valuable information.
