Browsers

Even if the internet browser you use at your organization seems to be working correctly, it’s important to stay current with updates as they are released. Best practices in the healthcare industry say that in order to maintain the highest levels of security for your patient data and remain HIPAA-compliant, you should be using a browser that defaults to the latest security standards such as TLS 1.2 and above. Only newer browsers provide the level of security that today’s data transfers require.
