Business Associates: How to become HIPAA compliant, increase revenue, and gai...Compliancy Group
Since Omnibus started in 2013 Business Associates (BA) have scrambled to understand and adhere to the Federal Regulation. Though Omnibus alone was a reason for Business Associates to become compliant many realized that compliance could help differentiate their offerings. Helping the company retain and acquire new clients. Compliance is helping many BA’s open new revenue streams while increasing brand stickiness.
With the plethora of non-compliant Business Associates, Covered Entities are realizing that the best option for them is to choose a BA that is compliant to reduce their risk.
This document discusses boards of directors' obligations under GDPR and recommendations for monitoring an organization's GDPR compliance program. It provides statistics on GDPR fines by type of breach and country.

Security requirements are often tied to regulations governing private data. An effective security policy must address regulatory requirements for the industries and jurisdictions an organization operates in. For organizations doing business internationally via websites, understanding applicable regulations can become complex. Security policies and controls must parse legal language into functional requirements to comply with regulations and protect information for specific organizations based on their services, data, business locations, and accountable regulations.
When it comes to entrusting your electronic protected
health information (ePHI) to a third-party cloud services

DHHS OCR steps up to increase HIPAA audits of Business AssociatesDavid Sweigert
The HHS Office of Civil Rights plans to conduct proactive HIPAA audits of 12,000 companies in 2014, including 3,000 business associates. While larger entities were the initial focus, SMBs are now also at risk. The OCR is under pressure to more strictly enforce HIPAA compliance. For many SMBs, compliance has been more of a marketing initiative than risk management, but the OCR emphasizes conducting risk assessments to show efforts to address vulnerabilities. SMBs are unlikely to face immediate audits but should take compliance seriously to avoid penalties if issues arise.

Information Governance Checklist
The Information Governance Checklist provides short initial assessment which should be completed at an early stage of any project or service redesign to identify stakeholders, make an initial assessment of privacy risk and decide if a Privacy Impact Assessment is necessary as not all project or changes to services would require one.

Redspin Webinar - Prepare for a HIPAA Security Risk AnalysisRedspin, Inc.
A HIPAA security risk analysis identifies risks and vulnerabilities to patient data by evaluating threats, vulnerabilities, and existing controls. It is a foundational part of a HIPAA compliance program and helps prioritize security improvements. Key preparation steps include selecting a vendor, allocating time and resources, and gathering documentation. Common pitfalls to avoid are failing to address actual risks, assuming compliance means security, and using checklists without context. The goal is a transparent view of security to guide effective risk management.
Redspin Webinar Business Associate RiskRedspin, Inc.
The document discusses new responsibilities and risks for business associates and covered entities under HIPAA regulations. It notes that the HIPAA Security Rule now applies to business associates, their subcontractors, and those who access protected health information. Covered entities and business associates both face liability for security breaches and non-compliance. The document recommends that organizations systematically identify, classify, prioritize and monitor IT security risks, with a focus on critical risks. It also stresses that having controls in place does not ensure they are effective, and compliance does not guarantee security. Business associates need to be prepared to be audited by covered entities.

Understanding the Experian independent third party assessment (EI3PA ) requir...Redspin, Inc.
The EI3PA requires third parties accessing credit history information through Experian to comply with the PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This includes installing firewalls, encrypting data transmission, maintaining security software, restricting access based on need-to-know, and regularly monitoring networks. Third parties must undergo an annual on-site assessment by a qualified security assessor to validate their compliance. Network and application penetration testing must also be performed according to PCI DSS requirements.
The document summarizes the top 10 security risks for 2011 as identified by Redspin Security Team. It discusses each risk in 1-2 paragraphs addressing the risk and providing recommendations. The key risks addressed include: mobile devices in the enterprise, social media information disclosure, virtualization sprawl, third-party mobile applications, vendor management, SQL injection, risk management, wireless networks, inadequate testing programs, and lack of a mobile device security policy. For each issue, it identifies the risks and provides clear and actionable recommendations for organizations to mitigate the risks.
Ensuring Security and Privacy in the HIE Market - Redspin Information SecurityRedspin, Inc.
The adoption of Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) offers benefits like improved quality of care and increased efficiency. However, ensuring security and privacy is challenging as HIEs provide a target for cybercrime. Emerging HIE models involve cloud platforms where providers manage security, but transparency is needed. One of the major challenges is demonstrating compliance with regulations while protecting data and detecting incidents. Close cooperation is required between platform providers, operators, and customers to effectively govern security.

Official HIPAA Compliance Audit Protocol Published
1. Official HIPAA Compliance Audit Protocol
Published
July 2, 2012
The Department of Health and Human Services’ Offices for Civil Rights (OCR) have finally published the official protocol
and detailed procedures guiding their HIPAA Audit program. The protocol, developed by subcontractor KMPG together
with OCR, includes 77 evaluation areas for security and another 88 areas for privacy/breach notification. Here’s a link to
the publication which is conveniently keyword searchable. http://ocrnotifications.hhs.gov/hipaa.html
Of particular interest to Redspin is the section dedicated to IT security. As former White House Cybersecurity Czar
Howard Schmidt said recently, “Without security, there can be no privacy.” We were pleased, but not surprised, to see that
the audit protocol maps directly to the HIPAA Security Rule sections§164.308, §164.310 and §164.312.
For the past several years, we’ve advised our clients that any official HIPAA security audit program would necessarily
revert back to existing HIPAA Security Rule provisions “on the books” since 2005. It’s how Redspin designed its own
methodology for our HIPAA Security Risk Assessments (click here to download our crosswalk map) and we were 100%
confident that our approach would pass muster with any subsequent interpretations.
Further, at the June 7th HIPAA Security Rule conference, Linda Sanchez, Senior Advisor and Health Information Privacy
Lead at OCR, reported that the results of the first 20 OCR/KPMG pilot audits showed that security compliance was a far
more troublesome area than privacy compliance. More specifically, 74% of the findings were security gaps or breach issues
compared to 26% policy violations. Against the backdrop of the transition of the healthcare industry from a paper-based
system to electronic health records, Redspin continually stresses that IT security is job one.
OCR concurs. Ms. Sanchez went on to recommend “next steps” that all covered entities should implement not simply as
preparation for a potential audit but as best practices. Her first suggestion? Conduct a robust review and assessment.
Next? Determine stakeholders – all lines of business that are impacted by HIPAA regulations. Then identify all of the
protected health information (PHI) within the organization and map its flow within the organization and to/from business
partners.
In conclusion, the audit protocol itself is informative at least in the sense that there are no surprises, but neither does it
offer any more explicit guidance than what is in the HIPAA Security Rule. Redspin continues to advise our clients that
safeguarding PHI is the primary objective. By conducting a comprehensive security risk analysis and implementing a
remediation plan that address the findings in a diligent and timely manner, a covered entity will not only improve its
security posture and reduce risk, but will also have nothing to fear from an OCR/KPMG audit.
