requirements (such as HIPAA), by maintaining
records of communications and transactions. You

proprietary or confidential documents in the
days leading up to their resignation. Others
will routinely leak sensitive and confidential
information to competitors, accidentally,
intentionally, or otherwise.

software ensures adherence to company policy for

at least 75%.
