Company Overview

Vincera, Inc., an Austin-based company, provides software that allows their clients to protect, track and manage the distribution of content that contains personally identifiable information (PII) in a process Vincera labels "intelligent protection."

How can you improve the protection and management of distributed PI?

Answer: VAM! Intelligent Protection™ (VIP)

Why is intelligent protection an important issue for providers of digital content?

Providers of PII and PHI are increasingly becoming more liable for breaches in the security of distributed data. In the name of privacy, United States federal and state governmental bodies are continuing to place the legal responsibility for personal information (PI) security squarely on the shoulders of information aggregators and providers including CRAs, Database Search Engines and Drug Screeners. By enabling the intelligent protection of PI, PI distributors can improve their PI distribution process and open new revenue streams by passing on the same data security to their customers - the requestors of PI (such as Human Resource and Security departments).

What happens when PII or PHI is distributed without intelligent protection?

Without the technological means to protect and manage the electronic distribution of sensitive information, most personal information that is distributed outside a corporate firewall is subject to the whims of its recipients. For instance, sensitive employment background reports or drug screen results sent electronically can easily be redistributed in an unauthorized manner simply because the person or the results may be amusing or provocative. Such incidents are not only potentially costly to the original buyer, but to the distributor as well. Without VIP, PI security breaches typically go unknown and the extent of any breach may never be fully understood.

What are some of the advantages of VAM Intelligent Protection™ (VIP)?

  • VIP enables the intelligent protection of PII and PHI that is distributed electronically over the Internet as a web page or PDF file.
  • Based on PII and/or PHI recipient activity, VIP monitors and measures sensitive content usage and distribution and reports these metrics back to the content provider.
  • VIP is always active and tracking usage with or without an Internet connection.
  • VIP travels with the PI, activates upon any attempt to access the content, acts in accordance with the business rules applied, a.k.a. Business Friendly Distribution™, and reports usage activity from known end-users and, more importantly, unknown users.
  • An awareness of unknown users enables management of the PII and/or PHI content based on the appropriate business response.
  • In instances when a security breach is detected, VIP can be used to turn off the original source document and any copies that are part of the breach.
  • VIP enables PI providers, aggregators and recipients to maintain control over sensitive content distribution by applying the right Customer Touch to the right users at the right time.

Deliver VIP service to all your customers!
