Access Control

Data Encryption & Transmission Security

HIPAA requires careful attention be paid to data that is in motion and at rest. All data files at rest are encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). To protect data in transit between Mealwyse apps (API, or web) and our servers, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data transfer, creating a secure tunnel protected by 128-bit or higher Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.

User Authentication

Users can access the Mealwyse service via online only with a valid username and password combination which are SSL encrypted. An encrypted session ID cookie is used to uniquely identify each user. While logged into our servers, all communications will be encrypted at all times.
