There are two parts to this issue that you need to consider.  One of them is how you want to manage donations (a donor management system) and the other is how you want to process payments (payment processor) For donor management, there are a number of options out there that are either fully hosted services or standalone systems that you can install on your own.  The fully hosted services typically handle the payment processing part for you, but not always.  There are a ton of donor management options out there.  You can read plenty of discussion on Quora about Donor Management systems:  Donor Management For payment processing, I have personally integrated with Paypal, Authorize.net into our NP bank account, and IATS.  IATS I believe has the lowest fees, but it also has the worst management interface.  I find PayPal to be the easiest to setup and maintain and I don't find the fees to be unreasonable. Again, its probably best to look at al...

Girlfriend - I want to look through your phone Me - How important is it for you? Girlfriend- Well, you know, trust and that Me - Awesome. Me - You got two choices then Girlfriend - I do? Me - This is the phone. That is the door. Look through my phone, you leave and never come back. You don’t, we are back to where we are. And no, I don’t want to look at your phone so forget any ideas “oh but you can check mine..” Me - (puts phone on table) There we go. Decide what’s important. Girlfriend -checks my phone (finds what she already knows) Me - Now..leave Girlfriend - You weren’t serious? YOU WERE? Me - Don’t slam the door behind you *slams door* Dating someone else two days later…. Girlfriend - Can I look through your phone Me -How important is it for you? Rinse, repeat.

Once all of your policies have been updated and your employees have been trained on identifying and stopping breaches, select a reputable HIPAA training company that can offer evaluations, training and certification as necessary. Receiving a certification for your compliance, at the very least, shows that the organization is aware of the necessity of security and privacy. Some companies may also offer additional training depending on your needs and their services. Some of these training courses may include online courses or offline courses that require travel to specific facilities. However, there are plenty of companies that will also travel to you to complete the training, especially for larger companies employing thousands. Finally, once training is complete, you must take the certification test. Some of the most basic training organizations may not require a test, providing a certificate merely for completing the training. Regardless of this step, it’s important ...

Almost two-thirds of data breaches involved a business associate. Meaning that you delegated a covered function or activity to someone, and that someone messed up. So pick your partners carefully. Some of the largest breaches reported to HHS have involved business associates. As a result, the final omnibus rule expanded many of the requirements to business associates and greatly enhanced the government’s ability to enforce the law. What sort of penalties are we talking about? Check out this chart with fines levied in years past: Entity Fined Fine Violation CIGNET $4,300,000 Online database application error. Alaska Department of Health and Human Services $1,700,000 Unencrypted USB hard drive stolen, poor policies and risk analysis. WellPoint $1,700,000 Did not have technical safegua...

It’s the classic rom-com. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl become friends. Girl falls for boy. Boy doesn’t feel the same way. Boy and girl live happily ever after. But , it’s superbly acted, the sub-plot with their two best friends is excellent and it contains one of the best movie scenes ever; the fake orgasm at the restaurant. A scene that every heterosexual male should see once in their life. Love Actually What’s not to love about this movie. It teaches us 2 main things. There’s no right way to fall in love We meet the Prime Minister (Hugh Grant) who falls in love with his caterer. We meet nude stand-ins who fall in love at work. There’s the tragic writer (Colin Firth) who falls in love with his Portuguese housekeeper. And a lovesick school boy who falls for the talented singer. All of these stories are presented beautifully and you fall in love with their characters. And that all these loves are equally valid, regardless of their origin. There’s more than one kin...

Everyone is concerned about protecting their privacy with the massive amount of information and personal data stored electronically today, it is no wonder you might question what your health care provider is doing to protect your health care information. HIPAA and Privacy and Security Rules have been in place to protect your private healthcare data starting in 1996. As technology has changed and information has become more accessible there have also been revisions due to our changing environment and advancements in technology through the years. All of these regulations have been put in place to help keep your private information secure. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the HIPAA Privacy Rule set the standard for protecting sensitive patient data by creating the standards for the electronic exchange, and privacy and security of patient medical information by those in the healthcare industry. As part of HIPAA, Ad...

The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ medical records and other personal health information and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and those health care providers that conduct certain health care transactions electronically.  The Rule requires appropriate safeguards to protect the privacy of personal health information, and sets limits and conditions on the uses and disclosures that may be made of such information without patient authorization. The Rule also gives patients rights over their health information, including rights to examine and obtain a copy of their health records, and to request corrections. Prior to HIPAA, no generally accepted set of security standards or general requirements for protecting health information existed in the health care industry. At the same time, new technologies were evolving, and the health care industry began to move away from paper processes and rely more heavily on the use of electron...

 It is true that most IT departments lack the know-how to recover old or deleted text messages even if they’re in possession of the devices, but that’s not the case with mobile forensics experts armed with an array of new tools. Perhaps because of a false belief that deleted text messages stay buried, many people rely on text messaging to carry out their dirty work, such as stealing trade secrets and other intellectual property, violating non-compete agreements and committing fraud. Even Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations involving bribery and price-fixing regularly run into text messaging. It really depends on the make and model of the phone, in terms of how difficult it’s going to be. Text messages are usually outside the normal monitoring of the IT department. They may not be going through the system at all, rather through the carrier in a phone-to-phone transaction. You really need to have access to one or more physical devices. In my experience, the Android phon...

A HIPAA compliance officer monitors their organization’s compliance with federal and state HIPAA rules and regulations.  HIPAA compliance officers are responsible for researching available resources and implementing a total compliance program that addresses the privacy, security, and general compliance concerns of their organization. Communicating any organizational updates to policies or procedures in response to changes in regulatory requirements should be central to a HIPAA compliance officer’s role in maintaining total compliance throughout their entire organization. Below, we’ve listed some of the key responsibilities that compliance officers should be expected to maintain. HIPAA Compliance Officer Job Description: A HIPAA compliance officer should routinely monitor state and federal HIPAA regulation. As new regulatory requirements come up, a compliance officer should work to proactively modify their organization’s HIPAA compliance program to accommodate these ...

In businesses with a small volume of email traffic, a spam detection rate of 97% is acceptable. However, for most businesses, the 3% of spam that remains undetected can be a problem - not only in terms of productivity loss but also because of the increased risk that malware is allowed to enter the business´s network. For this reason, many businesses look for “Greylisting” when conducting a comparison of hosted anti-spam solutions. Greylisting is a process that blocks every inbound email and asks for it to be resent. As spammers´ servers are too busy sending out new spam emails, the request to resend is ignored. When the blocked email is not received a second time, the greylisting process tags the original email as spam and it is quarantined. In this way spam from previously unknown sources is identified as well as spam from known sources, and virtually all spam email is eliminated.

The best spam filter software is easily customizable by computer users of all levels. The most important feature of any spam filter software is the ability to reliably prevent and block spam. The spam filter software you pick should support multiple email clients and webmail service providers. It is important to choose a spam filter software that meets your needs and fits into the services and applications you use. It's easy to switch to a different recursive DNS service . Simply change the IP addresses for DNS in the Internet settings of your router to apply it to the entire network, or change the DNS settings on select computers or devices. Without further intervention, you'll receive the DNS service's preconfigured security or filtering protection. Some services also allow you to create an account to customize the level of protection and messages that appear when a site is blocked. Comodo Secure DNS offers a simple free service for personal use. It is preconfi...

In my previous post we know the main reasons for roof repair and replacement, here are your potential solutions and the benefits of each. Commercial Flat Roof Solutions   Roof Repair: A commercial roof repair is a good option if the issues with the roof are minor. Some roof damage can be repaired quickly and easily. If the damage to the roof is extensive, consider roof replacement. Sometimes the membrane is basically in good shape and has not met its life expectancy. It is also wise to opt for commercial roof repair if the roof has good insulation. Roof repair is great for the property or building manager that is looking to keep costs to a minimum. Roof repair is far less costly than a full commercial roof replacement. Commercial roof repair will help to extend the life of the roof as well. Roof Replacement: If the damage to your commercial roof is extensive then repair may not be an option. If the roof has been previously repaired or recovered the ...

Most commercial flat roof systems are built to last. However, this does not mean that they will not have any problems over time. If the roof is not properly installed and maintained problems can arise. When problems come up, what should you do to fix your commercial roof? You have a few options when it comes to fixing commercial roofing systems : roof repair, roof coating, and roof replacement. Before choosing which option will work best for you, let’s look at some of the main reasons for commercial roof repair, coating, and replacement. Main Reasons For Commercial Flat Roof Repair, Coating, and Replacement Age:  A roof’s age can be a great indicator of which option to choose. As commercial roofs age, continuing to repair them will only do so much. Commercial roofs typically last between 15-50 years depending on the material used. If the roof is fairly new and still structurally sound, then roof repair would make sense. If the roof is old and continues to have is...

Steve Jobs is an impressive entrepreneur because of his boundless innovations, but also because of his emphatic comeback from an almost irrecoverable failure. Jobs found success in his 20s when Apple became a massive empire, but when he was 30, Apple’s board of directors decided to fire him. Undaunted by the failure, Jobs founded a new company, NeXT, which was eventually acquired by Apple. Once back at Apple, Jobs proved his capacity for greatness by reinventing the company’s image and taking the Apple brand to new heights. At 20, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976 after Steve saw a computer Wozniak designed for himself. Jobs named their company – Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard worker in Oregon. Later that year, the duo debuted the Apple I at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California. A local store offered to buy 50 machines and to finance the production, the duo had to sell their most expe...

There is more to house maintenance than simply taking care of your home’s interiors and exteriors. You should also pay close attention to the roof and its present condition, especially if it is already exhibiting signs of wear or damage. Roof damage of any kind should be quickly addressed, preferably by a qualified professional roofing service. It is very important not to ignore roofing issues, as small problems may quickly grow into big, expensive disasters if left unrepaired. Regular roof maintenance is just as important for your home as regular doctor’s checkups are for your health. Roof maintenance ensures that your home remains strong and is capable of withstanding harsh weather conditions over the rest of the year. One thing to understand is that your roof expands and contracts with every change in the weather. That’s one reason that there is always a possibility of cracks developing and damaging shingles. Any roof damage provides an opportunity for water damage and leaking wh...

One of the most creative geniuses of the 20th century was once fired from a newspaper because he was told he lacked creativity. Trying to persevere, Disney formed his first animation company, which was called Laugh-O-Gram Films. He raised $15,000 for the company but eventually was forced to close Laugh-O-Gram, following the close of an important distributor partner. Desperate and out of money, Disney found his way to Hollywood and faced even more criticism and failure until finally, his first few classic films started to skyrocket in popularity. Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 at Tripp Avenue in Chicago. He was interested in drawing at a young age. He soon developed his skill and was paid by his neighbour, Dr. Sherwood for drawing a sketch of his horse. He took night courses at the Chicago Art Institute while doing his freshman year at the McKinley High School at Chicago. He wanted to become a cartoonist and newspaper artist in the future. So he started b...

The Web filter uses two main methods to determine whether or not to block a given URL request based on the website content: URL matching —Web requests are checked against the Web Reputation database; the URL, category, user, and the highest-priority policy that contains the requesting user are all resolved and the appropriate action taken. Real-time rating —Web pages not found in the Web Reputation database are assessed and a content probability-rating is determined on the fly (in real time); the page rating and category are then evaluated against the highest priority policy containing the requesting user. A Web page is categorized based on the aggregate weighting of all words on that site, which helps prevent over-blocking or incorrectly blocking a specific page. Once a URL/domain has been categorized and verified in another layer of the filter, the URL/domain is placed in the local cached database, which can be periodically uploaded to join the aggregate URL list. More information E...

Before Steinbrenner made a name for himself when he acquired ownership of the New York Yankees, he owned a small basketball team called the Cleveland Pipers back in 1960. By 1962, as a result of Steinbrenner’s direction, the entire franchise went bankrupt. That stretch of failure seemed to follow Steinbrenner when he took over the Yankees in the 1970s, as the team struggled with a number of setbacks and losses throughout the 1980s and 1990s. However, despite public fear and criticism of Steinbrenner’s controversial decisions, eventually, he led the team to an amazing comeback, with six World Series entries between 1996 and 2003, and a record as one of the most profitable teams in Major League Baseball. The Steinbrenner family lived a comfortable, upper-middle class lifestyle in Cleveland, thanks to Henry's job as the head of Kinsman Marine Transit Company, which managed shipping freighters in the Midwest. Yet George never coasted on his family's money. Instead of allowance...

Anti-spam is also essential for protecting your network against the latest security threats. There are many layers of protection that you can implement to protect your business data, one of which is anti-spam protection. With the increased availability of cloud solutions, advanced technologies such as enterprise grade anti-spam protection are now within reach for organizations of all sizes. Plus, the solutions are relatively easy to implement at an affordable cost.  The term ‘spam’ is used to refer to mass amounts of unsolicited emails being sent in bulk to a group of recipients. When spam is unsolicited it means the recipient did not grant permission for the message to be sent. Spam that is sent in bulk can apply to a large variety of recipients as opposed to being targeted toward one recipient, or a few. Anti-spam protection refers to advanced technologies designed to block and control unsolicited email messages. To provide cutting edge protection, providers of anti-spam solutio...

Bill Gates is now one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, but he didn’t earn his fortune in a straight line to success. Gates entered the entrepreneurial scene with a company called Traf-O-Data, which aimed to process and analyze the data from traffic tapes (think of it like an early version of big data). He tried to sell the idea alongside his business partner, Paul Allen, but the product barely even worked. It was a complete disaster. However, the failure did not hold Gates back from exploring new opportunities, and a few years later, he created his first Microsoft product, and forged a new path to success. Bill believed in achieving his goals through hard work. He also believes that if you are intelligent and know how to use your intelligence, you can reach your goals and targets. From his early days Bill was ambitious, competitive and intelligent. These qualities helped him to attain great position in the profession he chose also Bill was deemed by hi...

This is the reason Amazon itself suggests going for Managed AWS to cut costs and explore the full potential of their services. Step 1 - Is Your Architecture Right? Collect all the fundamental information about your client’s website and the traffic patterns. For example, “which application they use?”, “What is the user behavior?”, “When is the peak time?” and more. Step 2 - Rightsizing I can’t stress enough on how important it is. Understand your purpose, business needs, and the budget. You shouldn’t go wrong here. If needed, go for Managed AWS services to get things inline. 3. Monitor Closely Look where the gap is… Check Amazon analytics Turn on Billing notifications Use Trusted Advisor Other than these, some obvious tips are: Use Reserved and Spot Instances Turn off the idle instances In fact, you can also choose Scheduled Instances for optimized performances.

Failure is not the alternative to success. It’s something to be avoided, but it’s also only a temporary setback on a bigger, more significant course. Everybody encounters failure at one point or another. What truly matters is how you react to and learn from that failure. Take the stories of this entrepreneur. His story end in massive success, but all of it was rooted in failure. He is the perfect examples of why failure should never stop you from following your vision. It’s hard to believe that one of the most recognizable names in online publications was once rejected by three dozen major publishers. Huffington’s second book, which she tried to publish long before she created the now ubiquitously recognizable Huffington Post empire, was rejected 36 times before it was eventually accepted for publication. Even Huffington Post itself wasn’t a success right away. In fact, when it launched, there were dozens of highly negative reviews about its quality and its pote...

HIPAA is a set of standards introduced by the U.S. Congress in 1996. The Act consists of rules governing protected health information (PHI) including Security, Privacy, Identifiers, and Transactions and Code Sets. The purpose of the HIPAA Security Rule is to promote the protection and privacy of sensitive PHI used within the healthcare industry by organizations called “covered entities.” The HIPAA Security Rule Standards and Implementation Specifications has four major sections, created to identify relevant security safeguards that help achieve compliance: Physical Administrative Technical and Policies, Procedures and Documentation Requirements. Under the HIPAA Security Rule, implementation of standards is required, and implementation specifications are categorized as either “required” (R) or “addressable” (A). For required specifications, covered entities must implement the specifications as defined in the Security Rule. For addressable specifications, a covered ...
