Encryption at Rest and in Transit

All patient data is encrypted with 256-bit SSL encryption when stored and when transmitted. This means your data is protected whether it's sitting in our database or moving between your browser and our servers.

Pro Tip: Always look for the lock icon in your browser address bar — it confirms your connection is secure.

Automated Daily Backups

DentDock automatically backs up your clinic data every day. Backups are stored in secure, redundant locations. If something goes wrong, we can restore your data quickly.

Note: Backups include all patient records, appointments, invoices, and media files.

HIPAA & GDPR Compliance

DentDock is designed to meet HIPAA requirements for healthcare data protection in the US and GDPR standards for data privacy in Europe. We follow industry best practices for access controls, audit logs, and data retention.

Important: You are responsible for using DentDock in compliance with local healthcare regulations. Ensure your team follows proper security practices.

Access Controls & Permissions

Use roles and permissions to control who can see what. Receptionists can access appointments but not financial reports. Doctors can see patient records but not system settings. This reduces the risk of accidental data exposure.
