Security Compliance

The UCI Health Security Compliance Program is designed to ensure that we assess and address the highest security risks to our electronic information.

Compliance activities include:

• Maintaining audit logs of system accesses
• Scanning systems for external intrusions
• Providing education and training on security issues
• Periodically reminding staff of ways to protect information

However, 90 percent of security compliance depends on individual staff members.You can help by:

• Not sharing your passwords with anyone
• Encrypting any files containing patient information that you are keeping on laptops, memory sticks and other portable devices
• Creating strong passwords for accessing systems
• Logging off computers when you are finished using them

When using computers in a shared area, make sure that you:

• Log off when you are finished using them
• Clear your screen of any confidential messages, such those sent through the paging system
