HIPAA Alignment
Contigo utilizes many different security products to protect our client’s IT resources, and in particular help, our Healthcare clients align with HIPAA Technical Safeguards. This month we’d like to mention a product we use, which sits in the background and hunts for any malicious activity taking place on Windows servers. We’ve chosen this product because it’s a leader in the breach protection market and actively You’ll never see it, it’s just one of those products that do its job well and adds an active layer of protection against malicious breaches.
What are Proactive Fridays?
The Contigo team has an internal process we’ve named Proactive Friday. Typically on Friday afternoons, end-user support requests become less frequent. We take advantage of this time to perform audits, enhance security, and update our documentation across each of our clients. In a divide and conquer format, our Help Desk team of 7, performs these proactive tasks.
How is a task chosen you ask? Like many good ideas, it starts with a fishbowl that sits in the middle of our Help Desk team where they input ideas that can benefit our clients. Here are just a few of the recent “proactive Friday” activities we’ve performed.
