Security Levels

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

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) sites require increased security. For this reason, the SIGNA™ Secure Advanced option must be selected. In addition, McAfee virus scanning software package must also be installed at these sites. See Installing McAfee antivirus for DV26 R05 for additional information.

The HIPAA security screen is mandatory for DV25.1 and later systems. The HIPAA screen is optional for all DV25 and earlier systems.

Typical Security Settings is the recommended security level unless the customer has purchased higher security settings.

(For DV25.1 and earlier) Typical Security Settings is the recommended security level unless the customer has system-networked options, such as FUS, BrainWave (with STIM PC), CADStream, MR Touch, or other third-party devices. In that case, select Security settings for systems networked to certain optional devices.

(For systems after DV25.1) only Visualase third-party software requires the Security settings for systems networked to certain optional devices security level.

Note:

(For DV26 and later) Highest Security Settings is now labeled SIGNA™ Secure Advanced and is available as a purchasable option.

Definitions:

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.

Note: The restriction of using the Security settings for systems networked to certain optional devices option is no longer applicable to software versions 28 and later.

Highest Security Settings is now labeled SIGNA™ Secure Advanced and is available as a purchasable option. The introduction of this option key changes the install workflow.
