www.credant.com - For CREDANT Technologies Shar Carpenter, 972-306-0276 shar@redonkmarketing.com CREDANT Technologies, the market leader in mobile data protection solutions, today announced the implementation for Touchstone Behavioral Health, which provides mental health services to over 3,000 children and teens in Arizona.

Touchstone purchased CREDANT Mobile Guardian (CMG) software to secure electronic medical record (EMR) data that's accessed and stored on desktops, laptops, PDAs, and USB drives used by the organization's staff who work primarily outside its secure network. The implementation helps users in the field access protected client information immediately, improve response time, and boost productivity by eliminating trips to the office to retrieve or record data.

The CMG implementation also enables Touchstone to:

-- Safeguard data with

little to no increase in administrative burden

-- Maximize productivity for routine tasks, including troubleshooting and data recovery

-- Protect data without interrupting normal activity -- totally transparent to end users

-- Support all platforms and device types with a single management console

"I found the CREDANT solution to be far superior architecturally, focusing on protecting and managing what's really important in our business: the data, not the device," said Steven Porter, Chief Information Officer for Touchstone Behavioral Health.

The success of Touchstone's EMR system enables the organization to receive Laureate status at this year's Computerworld Honors Program.

"By ensuring that the protected health information on these mobile devices include the power of CMG encryption services, Touchstone went beyond basic HIPAA rules, to achieve the optimum level of data security," said Michael Callahan, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at CREDANT Technologies.
