General and Network Security Measures
Use best practice security measures in your clinical environment including the following:
General Security Policies
• Prevent physical access to the system from unauthorized persons.
• Make frequent backup of the system. Store the backup on a safely stored device.
• Protect the system with updated antivirus.
• Use the Microsoft Windows firewall at all times.
• Store all flash drives provided with your system in a safe location.
Networked Environments
• Connect the system on secured networks only. Using the system on a wide-open network, including wi-fi,
Bluetooth, etc. based networks is not recommended.
• Keep the network software updated with latest patches.
• Use encrypted data communication over “less safe” network segments (ipsec, VPN).
• Enforce that all resources within the network (shares, printers, other equipment) can be accessed by
authenticated users only.
• All resources within the network can only be accessed by authenticated users.
• Avoid acquisition systems having contact with patient to act as network servers for different functionality.
Secure Access to Windows Systems
• Users should require an account with suitable privileges to use the system (note no special elevated rights are
required to use the EMG application).
• Policies should ensure passwords are complex, non-repeated and regularly changed.
• Enable auditing of system use including windows logins in the operating system.
Data Confidentiality
• The user should lock the system manually if they leave it unattended.
• Short inactivity timeouts are always active and lock the system when the timeout expires.
• The EMG application supports the use of windows screen saver, manual lock screen and automatic switch to the
home page after a timeout on review stations to prevent showing confidential information on unattended
systems.
Data Protection
• Do not install any 3rd party software which is not intended for use with the application. An unknown software
can possess a potential security risk.
• Encrypt system drives which contain local databases and temporarily store data files/reports.
• Disable unnecessary windows services designed for not work-related features.
