Maximum protection for PHI and company data

### Secure Web Portal

For those clients who seek a secure online case tracking management system for IME services, only a registered user name and password is required. D&D Associates manages case referrals in accordance with each client’s unique work processes and security requirements. Referrals can be made by phone, fax, e-mail, electronic referral form or directly through our secure online web portal. Our service professionals will tailor IME services to meet your needs. Try our web portal as a guest user without registering.

Using the D&D Associates’ Web Portal, clients can:

- Submit a new referral;
- Upload medical records;
- View case status;
- Communicate securely about a referral;
- Change, reschedule or cancel an appointment;
- View notification letters; and
- View the completed report.

Case management can be done online at your convenience with around-the-clock access.

### Virtual Private Network

D&D Associates’ services are conducted on the most secure information technology platform in the IME industry. All communications transmitted and medical records submitted are housed in our private cloud-based network, not a public network. The network architecture has multiple firewalls and multi-layered encryption protocols.

Our infrastructure ensures that:

- E-mail has TLS encryption which is bi-directional:
- Data transfer between clients and the data center travels on MPLS which is comparable to a private road and is stored in secure multi-tenant data silos; and
- Data-at-rest is encrypted with the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit encryption.

### Security and Mobility

Clients can manage their cases anywhere, anytime, at work, at home or on the road. Pro-active network monitoring including quarterly network penetration tests; annual business continuity and disaster recovery testing; and real-life disaster recovery execution ensures  network availability.

### Physical Security

In D&D’s virtualized computing environment, data is stored remotely, in a private, cloud-based network, not on any local devices like desktops, laptops or tablets. Our physical asset security policy is as rigorous as our virtual asset policy: computers are locked down and secure biometric and key card are required to enter our hardened, co-located data centers. A visitor escort is obligatory.

#### Cyber Security and the Cloud

D&D Associates services are managed in the industry’s most advanced virtual private cloud-based network. All electronic data transfer travel via MPLS, is protected by multiple firewalls and multi-layered encryption protocols. The network is audited independently, and disaster recovery and penetration testing conducted proactively.
