Streamline Regulatory Compliance, Improve Auditability
HIPAA has raised the information security bar for every organization in the healthcare industry. Organizations that are not compliant or have suffered a breach are subject to financial penalties and lawsuits.
OneTouch’s fingerprint-based audit capability helps achieve compliance with the following regulations:
- HIPAA – the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
- California Security Breach Law (SB 1386) for organizations with customers in California
Increase Security
Password based authentication is susceptible to hacking, spoofing, and lax security practices by employees. OneTouch replaces passwords with fingerprint authentication assuring that only approved users can gain access to networks and applications. In addition, OneTouch supports multiple credential authentications.
Lower Password Administration Costs
On average, organizations spend $150 per employee/per year* on help desk costs driven by forgotten and expired passwords. In addition, productivity is lost when people are “locked out” of their systems. OneTouch takes passwords and password management out of the hands of users. Every authentication takes place with a simple touch of a finger. After deploying OneTouch, Office of the Secretary of Defense reported a 90% reduction in password related help desk calls** – along with high user satisfaction.
Single Action Shutdown
The tight integration of OneTouch and Active Directory creates a unified biometric solution solution that enables administrators to shut down a user's entire access profile with a single action.
Easy to Install
OneTouch is easy for IT administrators to integrate into new or existing Active Directory networks most often without the need for outside services or integration support.
Convenience
Employees strongly prefer the convenience of OneTouch fingerprint authentication to passwords.
