Security

Our industry, virtual medical assistants working remotely from other countries, is one of the most insecure in healthcare. One of the biggest reasons for our success is that our clients recognize that every other option is not secure. Reach out and ask us about all that we do.

Data breaches most frequently come through your vendors' access to your systems and data. They are the weak points in your security footprint.

We've been through on-site corporate security reviews. Our policies and practices began at our founding and are continually updated. It is one of the highest investments we have and is based on the best US standards.
