The InformedDNA Approach to Data Security and Privacy

At InformedDNA, we place a priority on patient privacy. We have over 15 years of experience in genetic testing. We never have and never will sell patient data.  We understand the sensitive nature of PHI and are committed to prioritizing and maintaining the trust of our patients by safeguarding their information and making sure they understand their rights.

Data Security and Privacy in Genetic Testing

Ensuring Patient Privacy and Genetic Security

Now more than ever before, patient privacy is paramount in healthcare. This is especially true regarding genetic/DNA testing. Potentially sensitive genetic information must be protected at all costs. Patients rightfully ask themselves, “Is it safe to do a DNA test?,” and complete corporate compliance is necessary to earn their trust.

With over 15 years of genetic testing experience, the chief concern of InformedDNA is the protection of patient privacy and data security. We never have and never will sell patient data.

Our Compliance Program

The InformedDNA Compliance Program is designed to provide customers with insights into the robust controls we implement to ensure the security and compliance of our virtual telehealth genetic services. We integrate governance-focused, audit-friendly support that aligns with relevant compliance and audit standards. Our Compliance goes beyond conventional programs, ensuring to our customers and patients that we operate within a secure control environment tailored for our virtual telehealth genetic services.

Our clinical documentation security and privacy practices follow standards set by:

  • HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
  • NCQA (National Committee for Quality Assurance Certification in Utilization Management)
  • State-by-state Utilization Review regulations
  • HITRUST
  • HITECH
  • PCI (Payment Card Industry)
  • GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
  • GCP (Good Clinical Practices)
  • GDP (Good Documentation Practices)
  • NIST 800-53 rev 5

Our Commitment to Privacy

Privacy is the right to freedom from intrusion into your personal matters or information. In healthcare, that privacy is symbolized by Protected Health Information (PHI). The InformedDNA commitment to preserving the privacy and security of PHI is demonstrated by our policies that drive our practices on everything from appropriate clinical care, to documentation, to accessibility, to vendor management, to quality assurance, and data privacy.
