Is this not an issue because you have controls in place to ensure that 
illegal images of medical or PII are not made with personal cell phones? 
Or, are you one of the lucky ones who has never had to try and figure out 
the potential source of a data leakage?

I have been advised by security experts that imaging technicians are the 
"hot" new source of "skimming" information from the files just as sales 
people or service people use "skimmers" to harvest credit card information 
for identity theft, except that the damage caused by leakage of personal 
medical information could be infinitely more damaging and long-lasting. 
I've started downloading reports and white papers, but this is a relatively 
new threat detection and does not begin to address the use of personal 
devices in the work place.  I've even been told that imaging technicians are 
given free smart phones to capture information on potential targets in 
exchange for free usage.  Kind of scary, don't you think?

I am looking for any information on controls that are reasonably 
enforceable.

Help me, Judy!  I trust your judgment.
