Security levels

To access HIPAA/Security levels, launch Guided Install from the Service Desktop Manager and select the HIPAA/Security tab.

There are three different levels of security settings available. Typical Security Settings is the recommended security level unless the customer has system-networked options, such as FUS, CADStream, or other third-party devices. In that case, select Security settings for systems networked to certain optional devices.

U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) sites require increased security. For this reason, the highest security option must be selected. In addition, the IPv6 box and McAfee virus scanning software package must also be installed at these sites. See IPv6 Configuration and Antivirus Software for additional information on installing these components.

Highest Security Settings is now labeled SIGNA Secure Advanced and is available as a purchasable option. The introduction of this option key changes the software installation workflow. See Installing MR applications software for more information.
Note: SIGNA Secure Advanced disables InSite connectivity.
Note: Once the highest security level is selected, it cannot be changed without performing a software reload.
Figure 1. HIPAA/security levels
Role-based authorization
It is possible to control access to various system features such as choosing higher level of SAR, setting custom system preferences, and/or protocol management and limit it to a specific group of users.
SAR management
Enables the operator to choose second level SAR while scanning.
Edit preferences
Enables the operator to change scan preferences.
Protocol management
Enables the operator to create, modify, or delete protocols.
Complex passwords
A password must have at least 14 characters, at least 1 number, at least 1 uppercase character, at least 1 lowercase character, at least 1 special character, less than 3 consecutive repeating characters.
Note: It is possible that the customer changed the default password. If you cannot log in, contact the customer for the correct password.
User account management
Customers can add or delete users by selecting User Accounts on the Service Desktop Manager screen.
Third-party devices
FUS, CADStream and others. If a third-party device does not work properly with the MR system at the Security settings for systems networked to certain optional devices security level, follow the normal field escalation process to get this resolved. The third-party vendor may need to fix their device to match the security standards that the GE MR system expects.
