Gamma Medica Selects WatchDox for Secure Collaboration with External Partners, ContractorsPALO ALTO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- WatchDox, a provider of secure enterprise file-sync-and-share (EFSS) solutions to protect, share and collaborate on files on any device, announced today that Gamma Medica, developer of advanced digital molecular imaging technologies for the detection of breast cancer, is using WatchDox to securely share and collaborate on its intellectual property (IP), financial information and clinical data with external parties. With WatchDox, Gamma Medica can safely provide investors, vendors and partners with real-time access to mission-critical information via desktop and mobile devices, while maintaining control over the files wherever they end up. This not only helps Gamma Medica meet strict Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance regulations, but it also protects against legal fines and other complications associated with IP and clinical data loss. Previously, Gamma Medica staff collaborated on files via email and data room sites, but the company needed a more secure solution that allowed it to track files and monitor all access, upload, download and print activity, particularly with external parties. Gamma Medica's business is built on its innovation in medical device technology and design. Protecting its IP from competitors and hackers is a business necessity. "As a growing start-up, we take the responsibility of protecting our IP and clinical information seriously. Doing the bare minimum to comply with industry standards and regulations is not enough. We wanted complete control over our files," said Jim Calandra, president and CEO, Gamma Media. "WatchDox allows us to protect and share sensitive information with approved parties without hindering productivity, which gives us the competitive edge and protection we need." Gamma Medica uses WatchDox for several purposes, including as a virtual data room to share files with investors. This information includes clinical information, 510k medical device forms and a variety of other confidential files. Additionally, Gamma Medica relies on WatchDox to collaborate on design documents with exteral contractors. Users appreciate the simple, intuitive interface and the ability to collaborate and share files on mobile devices using the WatchDox mobile app. Ryan Kalember, chief product officer at WatchDox, said, "The theft or loss of sensitive information can be devastating to a growing business. For companies in the healthcare industry, protecting data is a top priority for compliance, reputation management and financial purposes. Our complete EFSS solution not only protects company data at the source, it also enables effective collaboration and mobile productivity while ensuring HIPAA compliance." WatchDox's complete EFSS solution allows users to access, view, edit, annotate, sync, share and control files from any device, making it the most comprehensive solution on the market. WatchDox is the only EFSS solution that keeps files protected and encrypted 100 percent of the time, whether the files are in transit, in use, stored at rest, or even shared with an external party or accessed from an unmanaged device.
