Security

A secure architecture

The MediCal QAWeb system is built around three main components:

• The MediCal QAWeb Agent
  The MediCal QAWeb Agent is taking care of all calibration and QA activity at workstation and display level, in a transparent way. 
• The MediCal QAWeb Relay
  The MediCal QAWeb Relay is the heart of the security handling within your facility.
• The MediCal QAWeb Server
  The MediCal QAWeb Server is a server hosted by Barco. It is available on the internet via a secured connection and with a digital certificate. It is not possible to browse through the live QAWeb Server using the HTTP protocol.

Security at every level

MediCal QAWeb's unique approach ensures the highest level of security for medical facilities. It complies with all HIPAA security regulations. Its architecture is based on a NEMA standard and addresses the possible risks in this respect.

MediCal QAWeb makes use of an advanced security system at all levels of the architecture.
