Training

  • Require employee security awareness training on the use of iPads, including the proper use of the iPads, theft protection, proper storage, and how to report the iPad being misused or stolen.

Physical Management

  • Store all devices not in use in a restricted or locked area.
  • Maintain a documented process for removing data from organization-owned tablets before re-use or disposal.
  • Use locking cables to prevent theft of the iPads / tablets, if appropriate.

Wireless Network

  • Change the settings so your iPads can only connect to your internal wireless network. Set your router to WPA2 or higher security. Make sure your iPads connect to the same network as your Practice Management System
