Did you know...

 

Your Transcription Service May Be the Weakest Link in Your Chain of Custody

Most transcription companies have no verified security standards or training. And many aren’t HIPAA-compliant.

... no verified security standards or training

That means reports involving abuse victims or any other protected health information (PHI) could be exposed. While HIPAA law does not apply to law enforcement agencies, it does apply to transcription companies. 

One breach. One leak. One mistake.
And your department takes the fall.
