In the high-stakes environments of South Florida healthcare and legal practices, a “data breach” is often synonymous with a “catastrophe”. Whether you are a multi-specialty clinic in Pembroke Pines or a law firm in Fort Lauderdale, the security of your physical and digital documents is a matter of regulatory necessity. With the March 2026 arrival of the Kyocera EvolutionNext series, enterprise-grade protection is no longer an add-on—it is the baseline.+1
At STAT Business Systems, we ensure our copier leasing clients are protected by the most advanced security protocols ever seen in the document imaging industry.+2
Protecting PHI and Attorney-Client Privilege
The new TASKalfa MZ-series, such as the Kyocera TASKalfa MZ5001ci, acts as a secure digital on-ramp, ensuring that Protected Health Information (PHI) and confidential discovery materials are never exposed.+1
Federal-Grade Encryption (FIPS 140-3)
For the first time in an office MFP, the EvolutionNext series utilizes FIPS 140-3 Encryption. This is the same standard used by federal agencies to protect sensitive information, providing South Florida medical offices with peace of mind during HIPAA audits.+4
Standard SSD/HDD Overwrite
Every time you scan or copy a document, a digital image is stored on the machine’s internal drive. Our new Kyocera TASKalfa and ECOSYS systems come standard with SSD/HDD Overwrite functions, which automatically wipe the drive after every job, ensuring no trace of sensitive data remains on the hardware.+4
Secure Print Release and Authentication
Leaving a confidential lab report sitting in the exit tray is a major compliance risk. We configure our machines with Secure Print Release, requiring an authorized staff member to physically be at the device (authenticating via card or PIN) before the job is printed.+1

Security & Compliance FAQ
Is it really necessary to upgrade if our current machine works fine? If your machine predates 2022, it likely lacks the FIPS 140-3 or TLS v1.3 communication protocols used today. Older hardware is a primary target for hackers looking for an “easy” back door into a network.+2
How do you ensure data is safe when we return a leased machine? At the end of your copier lease, STAT Business Systems performs a professional data wipe and provides a certificate of destruction for the internal storage, ensuring you remain compliant through the entire device lifecycle.+1
Can these security features handle high-volume discovery scanning? Absolutely. The security protocols run in the background, so you still achieve scanning speeds of up to 274 images per minute (ipm) without sacrificing the integrity of the data.+1
Do you provide service for offices with strict privacy requirements? Yes. We regularly work with legal and medical firms that require our technicians to follow specific on-site protocols. Our goal is always to provide copier maintenancethat respects your privacy and workflow.
