HIPAA Compliance is a continually evolving standard that takes continuous effort to maintain. As more dangers and regulations arise, so must vigilance. We take the burden off your shoulders.

Risk Analysis Requirements under the Security Rule

The Security Management Process standard in the Security Rule requires organizations to “implement policies and procedures to prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations.” (45 C.F.R. § 164.308(a)(1).) Risk analysis is one of four required implementation specifications that provide instructions to implement the Security Management Process standard. Section 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) states:

RISK ANALYSIS (Required).

Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the [organization].

When was the last time your office conducted and assessment of your security? Have you implemented policies and procedures to prevent, detect, contain, and correct security violations? In order to detect and prevent violations, proactive monitoring is a must.

We can assess your office and create a Binder outlining all of your information for a quick reference. By monitoring and managing your network we WILL be able to detect and contain violations inexpensively with ease.

Security Awareness and Training

(§ 164.308(a)(5)(i))

We proposed, under the requirement ‘‘Training,’’ that security training be required for all staff, including management. Training would include awareness training for all personnel, periodic security reminders, user education concerning virus protection, user education in the importance of monitoring login success/failure, and how to report discrepancies, and user education in password management.

When was the last time your staff was trained on current threats and vulnerabilities? We stay current to keep your staff educated and compliant.

We understand that as the responsible person for your organization that HIPAA Compliance is not your only responsibility. Your normal daily duties consume the majority of your day. Don’t allow compliance to be a burden. Allow us to be your guardian that protects and maintains your organization.
