Best practices for data security

Written by Dr. Harvinder Power

What should I do when using Motics on a shared computer?

  • Always log out from your Motics account once you’ve finished using the system on a shared computer.

  • Think of it like closing the door after visiting a patient’s room - you ensure that no one can inadvertently access your sensitive information later.


How can I secure my Motics account with a strong password?

  • Use a long, complex, and hard-to-guess password for your Motics account.

  • We recommend using a password manager with a secure master password to generate and store your passwords safely.

  • This approach is similar to using a digital safe: your master password acts as the key that unlocks a vault filled with unique, secure combinations for each account.


What precautions should I take when accessing Motics on public Wi-Fi?

  • Be cautious when using public Wi-Fi networks, as these can be less secure.

  • If you must access Motics on public networks, consider using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) for an added layer of security.

  • This is akin to using a secure, private consultation room rather than a public waiting area - keeping your data away from prying eyes.


How does Motics ensure the security of my data?

  • Cloud Storage Security: Your data is stored on the cloud with robust security measures in place.

  • Encryption: We encrypt your data both at rest and in transit, meaning it’s protected both when stored on our servers and when being sent over the internet.

  • Imagine your data is like confidential patient files kept in a high-security vault, with each file protected by multiple locks and security checks.


What is the role of two-factor authentication (2FA) in securing my account?

  • Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection by requiring not only your password but also a code generated by an authenticator app.

  • This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access, even if someone manages to obtain your password.

  • For more details on how to set up 2FA on Motics, please refer to our dedicated article linked at the bottom of this page.
