Spotlight on Security
One of the most common questions asked by prospective clients is: "How secure is our practice data?" The answer
is very reassuring. Practice data is extremely secure - for a number of reasons.
PhyLogic's systems are completely Internet-based giving data access to the practice as well as
PhyLogic staff. Our systems use both 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protection, in addition to
1024-bit public key cryptography. The completely encrypted systems remove the possibility of
transmitting secure data over an unsecure channel and assures a high level of data integrity
and privacy. PhyLogic systems are HIPAA compliant.
Another question is "what would happen should PhyLogic's office and computer system be destroyed by
fire?" To our clients, the answer would be "not much" in the way of service disruption due to our system
structure and fire planning.
All of PhyLogic's systems are run on ASP platforms (Application Service Provider) which
essentially means that actual data is not physically stored at PhyLogic, but is rather accessed by
PhyLogic and our clients through secure and encrypted internet connectivity. Our "web servers" are located
at secure areas with real time data backup on other secure servers. In the case of a fire, data would not be
affected, and client access to systems would remain up and running. Our web servers are located in
state-of-the-art buildings designed to be fireproof and earthquake resistant. In the case of a disaster at a
web-server location, real-time backup on other web servers help ensure that PhyLogic and our clients do
not experience any significant system downtime.
PhyLogic clients can rest assured that their data will remain secure and intact under any and all circumstances.
For more detailed information on data security, please contact us and request our "Data Security with PhyLogic"
statement. It gives detailed, yet easy to understand information regarding our system's security features.
PhyLogic's encrypted Internet-based systems are actually more secure than traditional office software / server based applications.
