The CISO Office: Protecting healthcare data on mobile devices

Risks
Mobile devices represent one of the greatest points of exposure for patient data. A lost device can put protected health information into the wrong hands, triggering HIPAA violations and costly breach notifications. Unsecured Wi-Fi connections, sideloaded apps, or malware downloads can create silent pathways for data extraction. Even something as simple as a text message to the wrong recipient can constitute an unauthorized disclosure.
Protections
Devices should be locked with strong authentication, fully encrypted, and equipped with remote wipe or disabling capabilities. Firewalls and up-to-date security software provide an additional layer of defense, while careful vetting of apps prevents hidden malware from loading. Physical control of the device remains essential, especially in shared environments. When transmitting patient data over public networks, secure channels such as VPN or encrypted messaging must be used.
Directives
An effective strategy begins with clear decisions about how the devices will interact with patient data and clinical systems, including EHR platforms. Assess how mobility changes the organization’s overall risk profile, then define a risk management strategy that incorporates both privacy and security safeguards. Documented policies and procedures are key, paired with ongoing awareness and training for staff who handle protected health information.
