The main goal of running HIPAA Risk Analysis is to assess the possible risks and threats to integrity, privacy, and protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) and establish the most appropriate safeguards necessary to ensure that they are at an acceptable level.
Unlike the compliance requirements under the Security Rule, which focuses on the technological security and controls to protect patient information in your computer systems, the requirements to be met under the HIPAA Privacy Rule are more method and process-oriented. These procedural controls form the basis of handling your patients’ information in a manner that assures their privacy is protected even when while it is being used for the vital tasks you perform for them and about them.
The main goal of the HIPAA Security Rule is to ensure the protection of Electronic Protection Health Information (EPHI). This also means that it is the mandate of every HIPAA-covered entity including federal agencies to be compliant with the HIPAA Security Rule.
The contingency plan falls under the HIPAA Security Rule 164.308(a)(7)(i) which is under the Administrative Safeguards. The plan addresses the security principle of “availability” which addresses some of the risks and threats related to business disruption and ensuring protected information can still be accessed by authorized individuals whenever necessary.
HIPAA Audit Controls Standard ensures the establishment of various software, hardware, and procedural mechanisms necessary to assess and analyze information system activities using EPHI.
T Network is one of the most important elements of any organization and to ensure that your IT network is fully secured and working fine, we will conduct IT Network Penetration testing. This testing consists of a process that intentionally attacks your IT Network system with an intention of finding security weaknesses.
