Patient Data Protection

Treat patient data like the regulated asset it is.

Patient health information is among the most sensitive data your pharmacy holds. The Privacy Act and the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme make protecting it non-negotiable.

WAPIT helps you classify, encrypt, access-control and retire patient data correctly — across dispensing systems, file shares, mailboxes and backups.
