IEP Mail Launches to Protect Transmission of Protected Information in K-12 Schools

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 29, 2010

Applied Health, a leading provider of quality school based, clinical and early intervention therapy, announced today the launch of IEP Mail, a secure email product designed to let parents and school systems exchange sensitive information about students in special needs programs.    IEPMail is a closed email system based on BunkerMail from GlobalCrypto and provides end to end encryption of regulated information.

With IEP Mail, your data is encrypted before it leaves your computer and is only decrypted once it is delivered to the recipient’s machine. IEP Mail simplifies the use of PKI (public key infrastructure) by embedding cryptographic keys inside a user-selected image to secure your message and attached data.

George Rosero, CEO of Applied Health, said, “IEP Mail enables school systems to send IEPs and other sensitive documents to parents while meeting HIPAA and IDEA regulatory compliance policies. This system saves a lot of time for teachers and care providers and saves money for school systems by giving them a way to securely email information to parents.“

IEP Mail guarantees the delivery of unaltered messages, requires no IT involvement and ensures users are uniquely credentialed and strongly authenticated. Additionally, users can save encrypted documents to their desktop, preventing identity theft and data breaches.

Todd Merrill, CEO of GlobalCrypto, said, “IEP Mail is great for parents who have children with IEPs. In the past parents have frequently shown up to regular IEP meetings with no advanced knowledge of the proposed documents and frequently never receive an electronic copy of the final IEP. This is mostly due to the complexity of printing and distributing IEPs to the various parties involved in crafting an IEP for a given student. IEP Mail allows teachers to simply email out revisions of these documents, saving time and money.”
