Security, Privacy & Compliance

Data Protection Built for Correctional Environments

We understand that deploying monitoring technology in correctional facilities requires more than technical capability—it demands rigorous attention to data security, privacy compliance, and operational integrity. The ReassureBand system is designed with these requirements at its foundation.

Data Security & Access Controls

Encrypted Data Transmission
All biometric and location data transmitted from ReassureBand devices uses industry-standard encryption protocols. Data in transit between devices and your monitoring systems is protected against interception or unauthorized access.

Role-Based Access Management
Your facility maintains complete control over who can access monitoring data. Configurable permission levels ensure that staff members only view information relevant to their operational responsibilities—medical personnel see health data, security staff see location information, and administrators maintain oversight of system-wide operations.

Secure Data Storage
Monitoring data is stored on secure servers with multiple layers of protection. You control data retention policies to align with your facility's requirements, state regulations, and operational needs.

Audit Trail Documentation
Every system access, data query, and configuration change is logged with user identification and timestamp. This comprehensive audit trail supports internal review, external audits, and investigation requirements.

Privacy & Medical Device Considerations

Not a Medical Device
The ReassureBand is explicitly designed as a security and monitoring tool for correctional environments—it is not a medical device and is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, or monitoring of medical conditions. This distinction is critical for compliance and liability purposes.

HIPAA Considerations
While the ReassureBand collects physiological data (heart rate, oxygen saturation, skin temperature), its use as a security monitoring tool in a correctional setting operates under different regulatory frameworks than medical devices. That said, we recognize that correctional healthcare providers must comply with HIPAA when protected health information (PHI) is involved.

Our system can be configured to support HIPAA compliance requirements when biometric data interfaces with your facility's medical records systems:

  • Data access controls align with HIPAA's minimum necessary standard

  • Audit logs satisfy documentation requirements for PHI access

  • System architecture supports Business Associate Agreement (BAA) requirements

  • Integration protocols maintain appropriate separation between security and medical data streams

Your facility maintains ownership and control of all data—we provide the tools and infrastructure to support your compliance obligations.

Facility-Specific Compliance & Operational Concerns

State & Federal Regulatory Alignment
Correctional monitoring requirements vary by jurisdiction. The ReassureBand system's configurable parameters allow you to align monitoring protocols with:

  • State Department of Corrections standards

  • Federal Bureau of Prisons requirements (for federal facilities)

  • PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) monitoring obligations

  • ACA (American Correctional Association) accreditation standards

  • Court-ordered monitoring stipulations for specific populations

Constitutional & Legal Considerations
Continuous biometric monitoring in correctional settings intersects with established legal precedents regarding inmate rights and reasonable monitoring. The ReassureBand's design acknowledges these considerations:

  • Non-invasive monitoring that doesn't compromise dignity

  • Clear operational justification based on security and safety needs

  • Documented protocols for data use and retention

  • Transparent system operation that supports administrative review

We recommend consulting with your facility's legal counsel regarding specific deployment parameters and policies to ensure alignment with applicable case law and institutional requirements.

Vendor Security & Reliability

Reassurance Solutions Commitments

  • No Third-Party Data Sharing: We never sell, share, or monetize your facility's monitoring data. Your data belongs to you.

  • Transparent Operations: Our team provides clear documentation of system architecture, data flows, and security measures.

  • Ongoing Support: Security isn't a one-time implementation—we provide regular system updates, security patches, and proactive communication about emerging threats or best practices.

  • Incident Response: In the unlikely event of a security concern, we maintain documented response protocols and direct communication channels with your facility leadership.

Certifications & Standards
The ReassureBand hardware meets FCC, CE, and RoHS certification requirements. Our operational practices align with industry-standard security frameworks, and we're committed to transparency about our compliance posture.
