Case Study: Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center secures mobile healthcare data with Prey

How to secure mobile healthcare data effectively

The customer, Jackson-Hinds Comprehensive Health Center (JHCHC), faced the challenge of securing 120 laptops used across its 24 clinics to protect sensitive patient data and comply with federal regulations. Their CIO, Markeese Robinson, needed a solution to remotely locate, lock, and wipe devices if they were lost or stolen, adding a crucial layer of security beyond their existing encryption. They selected the Prey Anti-Theft service from the vendor Prey for its capabilities and competitive pricing.

The solution from Prey provided JHCHC with remote management tools, including data wiping, file retrieval, and device location. It also offered features like control zones for geofencing and reporting for device status monitoring. While a laptop was successfully locked and later found after being misplaced, the measurable impact was the enhanced security posture that ensured patient data remained protected. Prey gave the institution verifiable proof that they took all possible steps to secure their devices and the sensitive information they contained.
