Our Impressions

Very positive. Our technical and compliance-related questions were addressed quickly and thoroughly. We also experienced the company as being highly responsive to our questions and feedback. Their blog gives us the impression that they are constantly thinking about security, especially with an eye towards HIPAA.

We also recognized the benefits of LuxSci’s notification system for access attempts. By default it alerts on any failed login attempts, but one can also enable alerts for successful login attempts. It also provides an interface to view failed and successful attempts. This goes a long way in helping you achieve HIPAA-compliant use of their tools.

Caveats
