The healthcare industry experiences one of the highest rates of cyberattack, accounting for 34% of all data breaches in the United States. Despite being a primary target for criminals, most healthcare companies can’t afford to employ an in-house security teams, which means relying on an external provider to help them build and maintain their cyber defenses.
According to the most recent Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS) Cybersecurity Study, 75% of respondents said that their organization experienced a significant security incident in the last 12 months.
HIPAA is a major, ongoing requirement for all healthcare organizations. With the size and frequency of fines continuing to increase, every provider must have a clear strategy for implementing the controls necessary to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI) as it flows through their systems.
HIPAA and HITECH require that ePHI be protected using three different levels of security control, the technical, administrative, and physical.
Ensure that ePHI is secured against unauthorized access, modification, or deletion while in your network.
Policies and procedures to protect ePHI, including those for risk management, incidence response, properly delegated HIPAA duties, security awareness training, and more.
Ensure the right physical access controls are in place, defining workstation security protocols, and protecting your office space from natural disaster, are another important dimension of compliance.
IT vendor management is another important aspect of HIPAA and HITECH compliance. Our team will help you gain decisive control over all the IT vendors and service providers you work with, ensuring strong compliance throughout your extended organization.
• Vetting IT vendors for HIPAA compliance
• Performing risk analysis to determine potential threats and vulnerabilities
