Patient data security and privacy are critical to our mission!

OpenELIS is a web-based application, which means that it is accessible over a network or internet connection, depending on how it is set up. This makes it a potential target for cyberattacks.

To protect against cyberattacks, OpenELIS follows rigorous security measures to protect information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

OpenELIS follows security best practices by implementing a number of security measures, including:

  •  Physical security: OpenELIS systems are encouraged to be housed in secure facilities that are protected from unauthorized access.
  •  Access control: Users must be authenticated before they are allowed to access OpenELIS systems.
  •  Data encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted to protect it from unauthorized access.
  •  Vulnerability scanning: OpenELIS systems are regularly scanned for vulnerabilities to identify and fix security weaknesses.
  •  Incident response: OpenELIS has a plan in place to respond to security incidents.

By following strict security guidelines and protocols, OpenELIS helps to protect patient data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.

In addition to following these guidelines, OpenELIS also takes a number of other steps to protect patient data, including:

  • Educating implementers about cybersecurity: OpenELIS offers training on how to identify and avoid cybersecurity threats.
  • Monitoring system activity: OpenELIS monitors system activity for signs of suspicious activity.
  • Keeping software up to date: OpenELIS software is regularly updated to fix security vulnerabilities.

By taking these steps, OpenELIS helps to ensure that patient data is protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
