Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Intended to safeguard the security and privacy of personal health information, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) isn’t just for healthcare providers. All organizations that interact with healthcare data need safeguards in place to ensure that protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) don’t fall into the wrong hands. But, from covered and hybrid entities to required and “addressable” specifications, HIPAA requirements can be confusing— and, with civil and criminal penalties for noncompliance, the stakes are high. Proactively conducting a gap analysis against the Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules can save your organization millions in the long run.
How We Can Help
With 22 years of experience and senior HIPAA consultants with such certifications as HealthCare Information Security and Privacy Practitioner (HCISPP) and Certified HIPAA Professional (CHP), we’ll make sure you’re in the right hands. Our HIPAA compliance services include:
HIPAA Security Rule Compliance
Our consultants compare IT policies, procedures, systems, and networks to the Administrative, Physical, and Technical Safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule. We also identify systems and devices involved in the creation, transmission, or storage of electronic (ePHI) and evaluate these technologies for technical threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.
HIPAA Privacy and Breach Notification Rule Compliance
Securance maps departmental policies and procedures to HIPAA Privacy Rule requirements to determine compliance with each section of the Rule. We also review the organization’s breach notification process and policies against the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
