The Story
The introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation of the EU requires in-depth analysis of existing data acquisition, data processing, data storage and data transmission workflows where private data is concerned. As one of the UK‘s leading cosmetic surgery practices, Tonic take client confidentiality very seriously.
Protecting the anonymity of its client base has always been of key importance and with the introduction of GDPR in May 2018 this has come in to sharp focus once more.
Tonic selected the RMail solution to ensure that when transmitting patient information it could be done so in the most secure manner and in compliance with new GDPR legislation. With its built-in encryption, RMail makes sure that private information remains private. In addition, the patient can also reply securely, without having to register for an RMail account.
First Experiences
The roll-out to Tonic was completed ahead of time with no disruption to the business. It was evident to see from day one that the ease of use, efficiencies gained and confidence of compliance exceeded expectations.
The most obvious immediate benefit seen was the turnaround speed of contracts between Tonic and their patients. This has reduce processing time from several days to just minutes.
With recent rise in cybercrime and in particular email fraud, RMail has also provided peace of mind that all email communication now sent by Tonic is secure against these types of attacks. This is of great importance to both Tonic and their patients.
Co-operation and Roll Out
Frama UK carried an initial consultation to the operational team at Tonic. This was used understand the current workflows and pain points enabling Frama to provide a tailored solution.
A part of this solution was to make contracts simple to create and easier for patients to read, sign and return. The roll-out was fast as there is virtually no product training required, the training was mainly targeted towards compliance and data protection procedures.
The Verdict
With many email encryption services available, it is not always easy to know which solution to choose.
RMail provides a unique Registered Receipt proving your compliance with data protection legislation. Without this element, it is not possible to provide evidence of compliance within any audit or legal dispute.
This key benefit combined with ease of use for sender and receiver makes RMail the number one choice for email security and compliance.
