Secure e-mail set to safeguard private medical practices from fines and GMC censure

PPM Software, the company behind leading private practice management software product ‘PPM’ - Private Practice Manager, has launched an innovative secure e-mail product. The new service, called SSLPost, will protect medical practitioners and their administrators who are currently at risk of heavy fines and General Medical Council censure if they fail to safeguard patient data when sending e-mails. 

SSLPost is a low cost secure email product that is simple to set up and use. It comes with an easy installation guide that allows the sender to begin encrypting emails within two hours of purchasing the software. It also features an Outlook Plug-in, allowing Microsoft Office users to encrypt messages directly from their regular e-mail client. The user simply chooses which emails and attachments he or she wants to send, selects the SSLPost secure button in Outlook and hits send.

Under normal circumstances, information contained in emails can be intercepted and read, deleted or altered before it reaches the intended destination. However, SSLPost's encryption service now ensures complete confidentiality by encrypting all messages and attachments using high grade encryption algorithms.

The product is as easy for the recipient as it is for the sender. The first time the sender dispatches an email to someone it triggers a welcome message that invites the recipient to set up a password and create a free account. Once this is done all future secure e-mails simply require the recipient to click on the attachment and use their password to open the content.

“There is no doubt that email is a quick, efficient and low cost means of keeping in touch with patents, colleagues and partners,” explained Tom Hunt, managing director of PPM Software. “However, now is the time to ensure that you have an effective method of encrypting the e-mails that contain sensitive patient or practice information,” he concluded.

Customers of PPM Software, who already use the company’s ‘PPM’ - Private Practice Manager suite will receive their first licence of SSLPost free if they sign up before November 30 2011.
