Data Security and Protection
Data Security and Protection
Healthvision UK has invested in top of the range systems in order to provide a modern, efficient, secure and high-quality service. Security of data is taken very seriously and considerable efforts have been made to protect the data and privacy of service users and staff. Mandatory internal protocols, processes and access level restrictions are in place to ensure system integrity, the protection of data and compliance with GDPR.
HealthVision UK understands the significance of digital security and the protection of personal data. System testing and security reviews are conducted throughout the year as per the NHS Data Security Guidelines. Our annual budget includes a commitment to enhanced data security and is reviewed each year as we understand the evolving needs of data protection. Our systems operate with high levels of security in order to protect data, the privacy of staff and service users. The use of the Google Business cloud platform allows HealthVision to implement the highest levels of security and scrutiny in line with the modernisation of services and processes in order to meet the ever-growing security demands of the digital world.
HealthVision UK opted-in to the Data Processing Amendment & EU Model Contract Clauses with G-Suite. This restricts the movement of data from the EU to non-EU countries that do not meet the EU’s “adequacy” standard for privacy protection
Google has issued a commitment to GDPR compliance across G Suite and Google Cloud Platform services. The built-in robust privacy and security protections in G-Suite facilities assist compliance. HealthVision has implemented 2-step verification as well as the requirement for a strong password.
Data controllers are required to use only data processors that provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in such a manner that processing will meet the requirements of the GDPR.
HealthVision UK is compliant with GDPR requirements. Internally, data is stringently protected and is only available to those with the appropriate authorisation. User access credentials are tailored and are specific to a user’s work requirements and level.
