Sound Physicians Secures Remote Devices and Protects Patient Data with Absolute Resilience

Enables IT team with a single source of truth,
complete visibility and control over all devices to help ensure
HIPAA compliance
Absolute® (TSX: ABST) (Nasdaq: ABST), a leader in Endpoint
Resilience™ solutions, announced today that Sound Physicians has
selected Absolute Resilience® to secure remote endpoints that
routinely process and store sensitive patient data protected by the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Sound
Physicians, a physician-led operator of medical clinics across the
U.S., employs healthcare workers in various medical settings
including clinics, hospitals, and others.
With a small, centralized IT team responsible for managing more
than 1,700 devices with a vast amount of protected health
information (PHI) stored on them, asset management was a
significant challenge. When the pandemic hit and healthcare workers
began working from home, the complexity of protecting remote
devices and data increased exponentially. By deploying Absolute
Resilience, Sound Physicians gained an undeletable tether to every
device, enabling them to track all devices, freeze, and even wipe
them when needed.
“Absolute gives us a single source of truth,” said Jason Smith,
Information Technology Security Systems Administrator at Sound
Physicians. “It gives us a footprint on every device; we implement
it on every endpoint before it leaves our office so we can find
them, no matter where they go.”
The company is able to use Absolute’s geolocation services to
track the location of its devices to ensure that no PHI leaves the
country. Sound Physicians is also working toward its HITRUST
certification. The insights within the Absolute console provide
them with the information they need easily and quickly - including
encryption status and what type is used, OS types, serial numbers,
freezing capabilities and more.
“We are thrilled to partner with Sound Physicians on this vital
initiative of ensuring the security and privacy of patients and
healthcare providers,” said Randy Turer, VP of Enterprise Sales for
North America at Absolute. “Knowing where every device is at any
point in time, and having the ability to take immediate action to
protect the incredibly sensitive data on that device, is critical
for all organizations, but it’s especially critical for those that
routinely process and store HIPAA-protected PHI.”
