Incident Notifications
When a Priority 1 or Priority 2 Incident is dispatched to a Unit, iRIMS can be configured to alert the user/unit of specific dispatched incidents.
There are two types of Notifications:
Vibrate. When the Incident is dispatched, the device will vibrate to notify the user of the Incident.
- Audio Alerts. If enabled, iRIMS will notify the user by playing an Alert.

Security
Concern for security is justified when accessing agency records outside of the RIMS application. Several key security features are included in iRIMS to maintain a high level of security and prevent unauthorized access.
Encryption. Every session is encrypted using a SSL Certificate installed on your server. The encryption is at a minimum 128-bit encryption level.
2-Factor Authentication. iRIMS supports two factor authentication using NFC (Near Field Communication). The technology allows the user to touch their user-assigned keychain device to the phone to provide additional authentication beyond a simple user ID and Password. iRIMS supports the Yubico YubiKey 5 NFC device. Information can be found at https://www.yubico.com/product/yubikey-5-nfc/
Audit. When enabled in RIMS, each record accessed through iRIMS is audited with an entry in the appropriate audit log. The audit log is directly accessible in RIMS
