SecureVRS Meets ICS Security Requirements

Residential VRS Introduces Security Risks to Prisons

Implementing residential video relay service (VRS) in prisons for deaf inmates will meet the ADA requirements; however, it will also introduce a significant security threat akin to provisioning sanctioned smart-phones to inmates. Without a managed access system in place from SecureVRS, calls cannot be recorded, monitored, or blocked. Even more frightening is that residential VRS allows prisoners to make prison(er)-to-prison(er) calls and secretly connect with people outside prison.

VRS was architected for use in homes and the workplace, but not for correctional facilities. Without securing residential VRS, correctional facilities are risking:

• NO prisoner call history
• NO restrictions on outbound calls
• NO restrictions on inbound calls
• NO restrictions on prison(er)-to-prison(er) calls
• NO limits on the number and duration of back-to-back calls
• NO ability to record calls
• NO ability to block calls

Isn't it time your correctional facility was protected with SecureVRS?
