Introduction
With justice systems moving toward cloud-based monitoring platforms, data security is no longer optional — it’s essential. Participant records, payment information, and compliance data must be safeguarded against breaches, or agencies risk both legal and reputational consequences.
Aguardion’s platform is built on industry-leading security standards, giving agencies peace of mind that sensitive data is protected.
The Risks of Poor Data Security
- Identity theft: Unsecured records can expose participant personal data.
- Compliance failures: Many states require strict data handling policies.
- Public trust erosion: Breaches can undermine confidence in EM programs.
Best Practices for EM Data Security
1. Encryption Everywhere
All data — in transit and at rest — must be fully encrypted.
2. PCI-Compliant Payment Systems
When participants make payments, their credit card info should be protected by PCI standards.
3. Role-Based Access
Only authorized staff should see sensitive participant information, reducing insider threats.
4. Regular Security Audits
Agencies should demand that providers conduct ongoing audits and updates to meet modern threats.
Aguardion’s Security Advantage
- Secure participant portals for online payments.
- Audit logs to track access and changes.

Conclusion
Protecting participant data is more than an IT concern — it’s a justice system responsibility. With strong encryption, PCI compliance, and rigorous oversight, agencies can ensure that digital monitoring is both safe and effective.
