Data Protection | Patient Privacy |  Medical Marijuana Software Point of Sale

A primary concern to many Collectives and Dispensaries is the privacy and protected nature of their patients history with the collective. When a patient signs up with your collective or dispensary, they put their hands in your hands. Your hands should be tightly clenched. The data should be kept from prying eyes, from internet security issues and from data corruption.

CCS offers a Suite of tools to prevent access to your collective's  without explicit permission.

Cloud Vs. Private Network:

With heightened use of the internet Cloud Computing has been of great interest to many companies. In Point of Sale, the most important thing to your business is uptime. Any point of failure can decrease your up time.

This issue has applied to locations ever since any computer network has begun. From printers not working to the credit cards not processing because of the internet being offline. This being the case, the most important thing is to reduce any interruption of daily processing. Cloud Computing has the severe draw back of putting any location at the mercy of the internet.

Considering these facts, this is unacceptable for most businesses.

CCS is not a cloud computing solution, but can work with VPN's

Risky Business:

While the reliability of the internet has greatly increased, there is no guaranteed reliability.   If your location can only process orders based on an internet connection, consider the probability of closing your doors to sales simply because your internet is down. It's simply not worth the risk.

Data Services & Protection:

When you put the data in another company's hands, you are subject to their strengths and weaknesses. Do you believe you possibly could have the following key points covered and regularly exposed with any agency storing your sensitive data?

  • Strength of Security
  • Intrusion Attempts
  • Law Enforcement Requests for Information

This list is short, the actual list would be longer, this is just to indicate to you that it's not so cut and dry as may be supposed.

You will have no clear transparency over their internal company problems, the strength of their security, their data management policies, other than what they tell you. Even this may not be clear enough.

Keep in mind, when it comes to security, even Visa / MasterCard have millions of cards of stolen data and value each year.
