Welcome to Texas Gulf Coast Medical Group!
We are fully compliant with HIPAA requirements and standards and have met these requirements for many years. All personnel have passed HIPAA compliance standards tests.
We continue to upgrade our safeguards to ensure secure data exchange. Texas Gulf Coast Medical Group has high medical standards and is very sensitive to patient confidentiality and consent.
Security is always a high priority, not only to protect from data or hardware loss, but also to ensure confidentiality.
Physical security is maintained by an electronic keypad entry to the facility. Texas Gulf Coast Medical Group and ADT monitor this system .
Servers employ power-on and user passwords, virus protection, and battery backup systems. Authorized users have restricted access to files. Operating System and security patches are current. Servers are constantly monitored for break-in attempts or other illegal activity. The database servers are not directly accessible from the Internet. Personal data storage is maintained with scrambled, de-identified numbers. Therefore, if security is breached, no personal data are recognized or accessed.
Our web server is secured with intrusion detection software. Certified SSL encryption is available for web transactions through Thawte.
