The thumb drive was kept in a locked drawer in the desk and the authentication protocol was tied to the MAC address of the machine. Given that experience, this company's security protocol as described by the OP seems relatively perfunctory. | |

HIPAA doesn't care how people log in to systems, it cares about the security of the data. And if the employee did things improperly, not giving their passwords would not protect them. | |
