Take this 10-question quiz to find out where you fall on the security spectrum.
Are you secure, or are you screwed? Answer the questions and count your “no” responses. We’ll score and rate you after you respond.
- Do you mandate a password change by all system users for everything frequently (every 30–60 days, including e-mail, practice management system, document management system, etc.)? Yes/No
- Do you use two-factor authentication for accessing all of the above? (If your system doesn’t offer two-factor authentication, then you should ask for it). Yes/No
