Case Study: Community Medical Centers reduces laptop theft and strengthens compliance with Absolute Software

Community Medical Centers complements encryption with Absolute DDS

Community Medical Centers, a major healthcare provider, faced a significant rise in laptop theft as they increased their use of mobile technology across their hospital system. This challenge posed a serious risk to the security of sensitive patient data. Their Manager of Client Services learned about Absolute Software's product at a training course and identified Absolute as a potential solution to enhance their endpoint security strategy.

Absolute Software provided its solution to complement the medical center's existing encryption. The effectiveness was proven when Absolute's Investigations team helped police recover a stolen laptop by providing its precise location. This ability to physically recover devices or remotely delete data, combined with their existing measures, allowed Community Medical Centers to significantly reduce device theft and strengthen their compliance with data protection regulations like HIPAA.
