Securing Protected Health Information

To protect against this prominent threat First Choice Health knew that they needed endpoint data loss prevention software with USB control features.

As a technical safeguard,, AccessPatrol provides several key protections against portable storage devices:

• Custom Permissions
  Assign read-only, no access, and full access for USB devices based on user, device, or organizational unit.
• USB Control
  Prevent employees from using unauthorized devices that can be used to transmit ransomware and illicitly exfiltrate data.
• File Transfer Visibility
  Alert administrators to suspicious file activity and maintain an auditable log of files that have been copied, created, and deleted on USB devices.

Security Without Sacrificing Productivity

In addition to meeting their USB security requirements, AccessPatrol provides First Choice Health with an easy-to-use interface where they can effortlessly adjust their removable media policies on an as-needed basis.

With AccessPatrol’s granular USB control policies it was simple to provide exceptions to those that needed it, such as providing photographers from their HR team with access when their cameras were plugged into their computers.

This flexibility was essential for keeping data safe without interrupting the efficiency of patient care and day-to-day operations.
