This is more of a "putting out feelers" sort of question, but does anyone in healthcare with HIPAA restrictions have any insights on use cases for or against Face ID and Touch ID?

We disable biometrics on iPads and Macs as a blanket measure because it hasn't been vetted by our compliance officers. I'm investigating if other organizations have any similar prohibitions and if not, is there a case to be made for allowing end users to enable it?

I've tapped our Security Manager to see what our stance is, and I'll let you know the response. But I would also be interested to see what other responses there are.
