HIPAA Security Rule requires HIPAA-covered entities and business associates to implement safeguards to ensure PHI is protected at all times. Protecting mission critical data is vital for all organizations subject to compliance. Malicious or Negligent, it takes only one breach to set off a chain of events to compromise your organization.
Data Security Reviews include assessment and evaluation of administrative policies and procedures, physical security measurements, and technical controls like encryption, firewalls and antivirus software. Employees also need to receive security awareness training to help them identify threats to patient data, such as phishing emails. All HIPAA covered entities must conduct a comprehensive risk analysis to identify all vulnerabilities and threats to PHI and the systems on which PHI is stored. Then use findings from the assessments to identify and mitigate known risk into documented remediation plans.
