Visions Server Security

The Visions Foundation Server (the application development platform behind FAMCare) was originally developed to track clinical trials data (medical information) and child welfare records, which meant integrated and tight security, as well as a tamper-resistant data design. This technology was adapted to the current platform that resides on a web server.

GVT Visions Server Security

The Visions Server utilizes a multi-dimensional security model that is extremely flexible. Users are assigned to groups that define functional duties, including levels of access for each form in the system. Users are also assigned to logical “organizations” that define access roles for individual cases. This is a hierarchical structure that the Visions Server automatically maintains to ensure users can only access cases they are allowed to.

HIPAA Compliance

In addition, GVT maintains both in house staff and external relationships to enable HIPAA compliance regarding security.

• 128-bit encryption
• password encryption
• high-performance firewall protection and monitoring
• all changes to data are tracked with full audit records (user, change type, time/date of change)
• individual field level encryption done at platform level (ensures confidentiality of the most sensitive data - e.g., AIDS tracking)

From a web security standpoint, the architecture uses https protocol (built into IIS) and also separation of the data servers from the web servers. This means all data access from browsers must go through the application platform, effectively disconnecting your data server directly from the Internet.  FAMCare helps with all of the necessary requirements to  empower an agency to be HIPAA compliant as it relates to data security, client privacy and system access.

Visions Server / FAMCare Secure Server Connectivity

GVT’s Vision Servers are designed to communicate with each other if necessary. The architecture also allows for a central “shared” data repository from disparate systems.

This repository is generally designed to capture data that can be shared between agencies, such as a county agency sharing data with a state agency.

Connectivity is via secured access methods and standard internet protocols. It is done at the application platform level to ensure maximum security and accommodate systems with different DBMS.
