Encryption Solution – Data Security

At some point, ALL insurance carriers and states will require insurance agents to keep client data secure. Aetna has already said that, in 2019, they will be checking computers coming to their site to see if they are, in fact, encrypted at the hard drive level. I found a solution where you can accomplish this encryption at less than $10, and here it is: Additional Recommendations: 1) Make sure to backup your data before trying any upgrades. We continue to use Dropbox for client data since it is instantly synced, in real time, between our office computers and is backed up securely off-site. 2) When ordering Windows 10 Pro keys, MAKE SURE that they are able to be used for UPGRADES and not "new installs only". For MAC systems, use FileVault 2 which is available on OX X Lion or later. For Windows, consider using Bitlocker, which is a part of Windows Pro. Note: you cannot go from one version of Windows (7, 8, etc.) to Windows 10. You can use Windows 7 Pro, Windows 8 Pro, Windows 10 Pro. Here is where we found Windows Pro keys (make sure to check reviews!) https://ebay.to/2OXJBuq Article: How to Use Bitlocker Without a TPM Chip
