Secure, GDPR-Compliant Calendar Reservation Apps

When it comes to data security, most of us have to choose between two unpleasant options: either make our lives more difficult by using clunky, difficult-to-use security measures or make ourselves more vulnerable by forgoing them altogether. But what if there was a third way? With Welloca, you can have your cake and eat it too.

Welloca is a secure, GDPR-compliant calendar reservation app. That means that you can book appointments and clients without having to worry about data breaches or violating GDPR. But that’s not all. Welloca is also incredibly easy to use. You can create an account in minutes, and there’s no need to download any software. Just sign up and start booking appointments. Best of all, Welloca is built on the foundations of security for health and wellness professionals like you. So you can rest assured that your data is safe with us.

GDPR Compliance doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game

To comply with GDPR, many companies have implemented strict security measures that make their products more difficult to use. But at Welloca, we believe that security doesn’t have to be a tradeoff for usability. Our calendar reservation app is secure and easy to use, so you can focus on what matters most: providing great care for your clients. Why Security Matters for Health and Wellness Professionals

As health and wellness professionals, we have a responsibility to keep our client’s data safe, especially when dealing with calendar reservation apps. That’s why the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is so important. GDPR requires companies to take steps to protect the personal data of EU citizens from accidental or unauthorized access, destruction, alteration, or use.

The GDPR makes a distinction between regular personal data and sensitive personal data. There are considerable differences between the processing of these two data types especially when we move into the realm of health data. And that’s what we want to focus on today.

Health Data requires additional security considerations

Health data is defined as “any information relating to the physical or mental health of an individual which reveals information about his or her health status”. This could include anything from a person’s medical history to their current prescriptions. In short, if the data could be used to identify an individual and reveal something about their health, it counts as health data.

As you can imagine, this type of data is extremely sensitive. And that means that it requires a higher level of security than regular personal data. The GDPR sets out specific requirements for the processing of health data, including the need for extra security measures to protect this type of data from unauthorized access.

Your average calendar reservation app lacks the security frameworks and experience that the Welloca team bring to the party. As health and wellness professionals who have been in your shoes, we know what it takes to keep sensitive data safe.

So, how can Welloca help you to stay GDPR-compliant and secure your clients’ health data?

Welloca’s Approach to Security

At Welloca, we take security seriously. We know that as health and wellness professionals, you need to be able to trust us with your client’s sensitive data all while providing usable, beautiful calendar reservation workflows within a unified app that customers love. That’s why we’ve built our app from the ground up with security and usability in mind.

When it comes to security, Welloca is in a class by itself. Here are just some of the ways that we keep your data safe:

• We are SOC2 certified;
• We live and breathe security - some of our team members have spent decades working across the public and private sectors securing highly sensitive data for large corporations, government institutions and global trade;
• We use industry-leading encryption methods to protect your data in transit and at rest;
• We have implemented strict internal policies and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to your data;
• We have a dedicated security team that monitors our systems 24/7/365; and
• We’re human and happy to discuss and improve our security frameworks at any time.

We use at least 256-bit SSL encryption to protect all data in transit, including health data. That means that your data is always safe when it’s being transmitted between our servers and your device. We also retain full control of all private keys to mitigate the risk of a hosting provider breach.

We also offer two-factor authentication for an extra layer of security and highly recommend all accounts enable it. This means that even if someone manages to guess your password, they won’t be able to access your account unless they also have access to your second-factor device (either a phone or password manager).

And we don’t stop there. We also carry out regular security audits and penetration tests to make sure that our app is as secure as it can be. We also have a bug bounty programme to encourage security researchers to report any vulnerabilities they find in our app.

We know that security is important to you, and we’re committed to keeping your data safe.

We’ve carried out comprehensive risk assessments to identify any potential risks to the privacy of your data. And we’ve put in place measures to mitigate those risks. In addition, we review our risk assessments on a regular schedule to make sure that we’re keeping up with the latest threats.

We’ve also appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for ensuring that our app meets the GDPR requirements.

But we know that even the best security measures can’t eliminate all risks. That’s why we also have insurance in place to cover any potential losses in the unlikely event that there is a data breach.

Welloca is committed to protecting your data and keeping it safe. We have implemented all of the necessary security measures to protect your data. And we will continue to monitor the situation and make changes as needed to ensure that we are always compliant. If you have any questions about our security measures or how we handle your data, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’d be happy to talk about security!
