Secure Forms WordPress Plugin Released Today

I am pleased to announce that Secure Forms by ClikIT has been released & is available to the general public today. Safeguarding your customers information in your forms has never been easier, and you will now be more trusted by your customers by enabling Secure Forms on your website.

WordPress is the most powerful CMS in the world. It’s used by nearly every industry, and enabled small businesses, bloggers, non-profits & enterprises to easily create a website as simple or complex as they desired. As cybersecurity has become a growing part of our everyday time, and everyday there is news of a new hack, we started wondering how we can protect form data. We’ve seen across our 200+ websites we manage that people are submitting sometimes personal information, and we also see use cases where some website owners want to collect sensitive information from people, but there hasn’t been a solution for WordPress we could recommend & ultimately our clients stick with paper forms. That’s where Secure Forms come in. Likely, you’ve fallen into one of these two groups as a website owner or web agency before:

  1. You setup a form asking for data that you know you probably should not be asking for in an unsecured format “but it’ll be fine”.
  2. Your organization’s processes are crippled because you’re stuck with pen & paper for filling out forms because you don’t want to ask for it online

We care about people’s data & making the web as secure as possible, and that’s why we’ve created Secure Forms. Not for you or for us, but for each and every one of your website visitors.

How is the Secure Forms WordPress Plugin Beneficial for HIPAA Forms?

Secure Forms let’s businesses, non-profits & healthcare organizations collect sensitive information through their WordPress Forms made with Forminator. Digital forms are vital tools in the healthcare sector for securely collecting sensitive patient information while maintaining HIPAA compliance. While we love Forminator, we’re also working on other integrations with Gravity Forms. Stay tuned for that! Whether that sensitive information is a social security number, drivers license number, health information, or maybe you’re just a security conscious individual – we let you do things the RIGHT way when handling sensitive information. No more storing things in plain text.

Benefits of HIPAA Compliant Forms

HIPAA compliant forms offer a multitude of benefits for healthcare organizations. By utilizing these forms, organizations can ensure that they are collecting and storing PHI in a secure and compliant manner, significantly reducing the risk of data breaches and other security incidents. This not only helps in avoiding hefty fines but also protects the organization’s reputation.

Moreover, HIPAA compliant forms can enhance patient satisfaction and engagement. Secure and user-friendly forms make it easier for patients to provide their PHI and access their medical records. This streamlined process can lead to better patient outcomes and reduce the administrative burden on healthcare providers. Ultimately, HIPAA compliant forms are a vital tool for maintaining both security and efficiency in healthcare operations.

Is it just for entities that need to be HIPAA compliant?

No, Secure Forms is not only for healthcare organizations and places that need to be HIPAA compliant. This is useful for any industry that want to protect their data, such as lawyers and schools. We have an option to not sign a BAA agreement for those entities, as they don’t have the requirement for that. We’ve built both cases into Secure Forms!

What do I get with the Secure Forms WordPress Plugin for HIPAA Compliant Forms?

We’ve packed our initial product with tons of features to honestly make the plugin such a great deal for you. Our plugin makes it easy and efficient to create forms specifically tailored for healthcare purposes, including HIPAA compliance and customizable templates. Here’s what you get:

  8. Logs – View who on your team has accessed your forms to understand who has seen what data.

How is it secure for HIPAA Compliance?

When a form submission is made by a website visitor, it encrypts the submission, routes the response to our servers over 256 AES encryptions, encrypts it again in our Amazon RDS database and then we store it at rest. Using our plugin, you can then view all form submissions as it decrypts the data so you can view it all within our interface via our custom built API. Additionally, our plugin allows you to combine multiple forms into cohesive form packets, enhancing patient intake processes and operational effectiveness.

Our team also has gone through rigorous HIPAA Compliance training, and have received our certificates for it. As well, we’ve hired an outside security firm to audit the site. They identified some issues that we have fixed.

Secure Data Storage with the Secure Forms WordPress Plugin

The Secure Forms WordPress Plugin excels in providing secure data storage for HIPAA compliant forms. It employs industry-standard encryption protocols to protect PHI, ensuring that all form data is stored securely and compliantly. This robust encryption safeguards sensitive information from unauthorized access.

Additionally, the plugin offers a business associate agreement (BAA), which is crucial for HIPAA compliance. This agreement ensures that the plugin adheres to HIPAA regulations and takes responsibility for protecting PHI. The Secure Forms WordPress Plugin also includes features like electronic signatures, conditional logic, and mobile-friendly forms, making it easy for patients to provide their consent and authorization securely. Moreover, the plugin can be seamlessly integrated with existing forms and systems, enhancing its versatility and ease of use.

Electronic Signatures with the Secure Forms WordPress Plugin

The Secure Forms WordPress Plugin provides a secure and compliant solution for electronic signatures on HIPAA compliant forms. This feature allows patients to sign forms electronically, using a process that ensures their consent and authorization are securely recorded. The plugin maintains a detailed record of all signatures, including the date and time, to ensure compliance with HIPAA regulations.

In addition to electronic signatures, the plugin offers conditional logic to tailor forms to the specific needs of patients and healthcare organizations. It is also mobile-friendly, allowing patients to access and complete forms on their mobile devices. The Secure Forms WordPress Plugin is designed to be user-friendly and can be easily integrated with existing forms and systems, making it a versatile tool for healthcare providers.

Who is Secure Forms WordPress plugin for? Healthcare Providers and More

Secure Forms can be used by any industry, as long as you have a use case for using it. It doesn’t make sense to use Secure Forms if you are a baker & your website form is collecting a simple Name/Email/Phone number. But, if you’re a lawyer and are collecting this information, then this is when you would need to use Secure Forms. Here is a starter list for professionals & industries that need Secure Forms, but certainly isn’t comprehensive:

  • Hospitals
  • Dental Offices
  • Insurance Companies
  • Health Insurance Companies
  • Health Maintenance Organizations
  • Therapist Offices
  • Doctor Offices
  • Pharmacies
  • Physical Therapist Offices
  • Orthodontist Offices
  • K-12 Schools
  • Colleges and Universities
  • Law Firms & Lawyers
  • Volunteer Applications
  • Applications Collecting Personal Information (Social Security Numbers, Drivers License Numbers, Birthdates)

How can I see Secure Forms Digital Forms in action?

Secure Forms is a both free and paid WordPress Plugin, and we encourage you to sign up for the free version and test it out! Online forms are crucial for securely collecting patient information while adhering to HIPAA compliance standards. We’re working on setting up demos with InstaWP, but due to the nature of how the plugin works and site authentication on the backend, that poses a challenge.
