Does Open Dental have a plugin that provides a solution that protects PHI on a lost laptop?

We do not have such a feature built into Open Dental. We tell users to encrypt their hard drives because no one can get into Open Dental without knowing your password thus the PHI is protected in our aspect. We cannot (well... not feasibly) protect your physical MySQL database for you so we recommend encrypting:

The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.
