Cybersecurity Awareness & Data Protection at Truepath Mobility Services Inc.

At Truepath Mobility Services Inc., we prioritize the safety and privacy of our clients and employees—not just on the road, but also in the digital space. As a Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) provider, we handle sensitive health and personal data, making cybersecurity a top priority.

Cybercriminals often target healthcare transportation services due to the confidential nature of medical and billing information. Protecting our clients' data is not just a responsibility—it’s a commitment to trust, security, and compliance with laws like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

** This page provides essential tips and tools to protect your information from identity theft, fraud, and cybersecurity threats. **
