Patient records and servers need locked doors with a record. Here is how to protect them.
Key takeaways
- Named people only
- Entry log
- Door alerts
- A safer record
01The problem
A server room or a records store holds information that must not be seen or lost. A door that only opens for named people, with a log, protects the data and shows who entered if a question arises.
02How it works
03What to check before you buy
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Door and lock | Strong and fail-safe |
| Log retention | How long entries are kept |
| Alerts | Door held open |
| Backup power | Locks and logging stay up |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
| Your own requirements | Confirm them with your regulator and advisers |
