Security

Military Level Security

Mitochon delivers a scalable cloud computing platform with high levels of availability and dependability, offering the flexibility to enable Physicians to easily sign-up for and use our service. Helping to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our subscribers clinical data is of utmost importance to Mitochon, as is maintaining our users trust and confidence.

We host your service on the Amazon EC2 HIPAA compliant Cloud Service, widely recognized as the benchmark for the industry.

There is no information on your local computers, all your information is in our system, allowing you to focus on your patients while we take care of the technology. A significant added benefit is that in the event your computers are lost, stolen or crash, we have all your data in our system. Connect over the web and you're up and running again with no HIPAA issues regarding notification of breach etc. Mitochon is effectively your back-up solution, within our standard free service.

Meaningful Use also requires certain security criteria that are met by certified solutions. Mitochon was the FIRST FREE CERTIFIED Solution, achieving full certification in April 2011. View our certification here.
