HIPAA
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule mandates administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic personal health information (ePHI). Compliance with these standards is essential for healthcare providers and organizations handling ePHI to safeguard patient data and avoid costly liabilities.
We help organizations implement cybersecurity practices that meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements while aligning with broader regulatory needs, ensuring your data is secure and trust is maintained.
Understanding HIPAA
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes standards to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic personal health information (ePHI). While the HIPAA Privacy Rule focuses on patient confidentiality, the Security Rule mandates cybersecurity measures essential for protecting sensitive data and minimizing risks.
CyberEye supports organizations in implementing these safeguards, aligning compliance efforts with broader regulatory requirements, and eliminating redundancies for greater efficiency.
Key safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule:
Administrative Safeguards
Policies and procedures, including risk assessments, workforce training, and access controls, to manage ePHI security effectively.
Physical Safeguards
Facility access controls and secure workstation practices to protect ePHI from unauthorized physical access.
Technical Safeguards
Technologies such as encryption, secure communication, and audit controls to ensure ePHI is protected against digital threats.
The Value of HIPAA
Achieving HIPAA Security Rule compliance provides organizations with critical benefits, including:
Avoid Legal & Financial Consequences
Reduce the risk of fines, legal fees, and reputational damage by meeting required security standards.
Maintain Trust & Patient Care Continuity
