The document maps controls from the HIPAA Security Rule to corresponding controls and compliance requirements in ISO 27001. It provides examples of how an organization's policies, procedures, and controls address specific HIPAA implementation specifications and align with related ISO 27001 requirements for security management, risk assessment, incident response, access controls, password management, backup and disaster recovery planning.
The document outlines 6 steps to effective access management according to ITIL v3: 1) Requesting access through defined procedures like HR systems or change/service requests. 2) Verifying requests by confirming identity and legitimacy. 3) Providing appropriate rights once verified. 4) Monitoring identity status for changes triggering access updates. 5) Logging and tracking access for auditing and incidents. 6) Removing or restricting rights when users change roles or statuses. The 6 steps provide a framework for access management that solely executes security policies defined elsewhere, with the goal of streamlining access requests and maintenance.

Overview
You have been hired as an auditor for a local university, which is preparing to undergo an accreditation inspection to confirm that security controls are in place and adhered to and that data is protected from unauthorized access internally and externally. As the auditor, you play a key role in ensuring compliance. As the organization prepares for its three-year accreditation, you are tasked with gathering the artifacts that will be used to build the accreditation package. The accreditation package will be submitted under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and will use the controls found in
NIST SP 800-53
and
NIST SP 800-53A
. The controls to be audited are provided in the worksheet.
Your university has an IT staff consisting of the following personnel:
CIO: in charge of overall network operations and cybersecurity.
Information Security Officer: implements and manages cybersecurity policies.
System Analysts: monitor security features implemented on hosts (laptops, desktops) and server-side security (NIPS, NIDS).
Auditors: validate baseline compliance of systems in accordance with Security Technical Information Guide (STIG), NIST, and federal, state and local policies, regulations, and laws.
System Administrators: manage data and applications on servers.
Network Administrators: manage all switches, routers, firewalls, and sensors.
Desktop Administrators: administer hardware and software to users and manage day-to-day troubleshooting calls from users.
Help Desk: acts as the liaison between the customer and administrators through the use of a Ticket Management System (TMS).
To ensure separation of duties, all employees are provided a written list detailing their roles and responsibilities. Terminated employees are debriefed, and physical and logical access controls are removed to prevent further access.
Users are defined as those staff without elevated privileges that can affect the configuration of a computer or networked device.
Advanced users have the rights and credentials to physically make a configuration change to a networked device or direct a configuration change through positional authority. All advanced users complete the same initial user agreement as standard users as well as a nondisclosure agreement (NDA). There is no required training for standard and advanced users.
For automated account management, the university uses Active Directory (AD).
Onboarding new users and managing access follows this process:
When a user arrives, they visit the help desk in person and submit a request to have an account created.
All users must read and sign a user agreement outlining the rules and terms of use before they are given network access.
These forms are reviewed annually by the ISO and stored digitally on the network for three years from the date of termination. The organization defines a time period for each type of account after which the information system terminates temporary and emergency accounts (1.

Security Audits of Electronic Health Information (Updated)
Editor's note: This update supplants the November 2003 practice brief "Security Audits (Updated)."
Introducing the AHIMA Compendium http://compendium.ahima.org
Throughout this brief, sentences marked with the † symbol indicate AHIMA best practices in health information management. These practices are collected in the new AHIMA Compendium, offering health information management professionals "just in time" guidance as they research and address practice challenges.
In a perfect world, access controls alone would ensure the privacy of electronic protected health information (ePHI). However, the complexities of the healthcare environment today make it extremely challenging to limit worker access to the minimum information necessary to do their jobs.
For example, many jobs in smaller organizations and community-based hospitals require workers perform multiple functions. Without access to at least select portions of every patient's health record, some employees' effectiveness could be significantly inhibited and patient care could be compromised.
Organizations must develop security audits and related policies and procedures to hold workers accountable for their actions while utilizing ePHI and an electronic health record (EHR).
Security audits are conducted using audit trails and audit logs that offer a back-end view of system use. Audit trails and logs record key activities, showing system threads of access, changes, and transactions. Periodic reviews of audit logs may be useful for:
· Detecting unauthorized access to patient information
· Establishing a culture of responsibility and accountability
· Reducing the risk associated with inappropriate accesses (behavior may be altered when individuals know they are being monitored)
· Providing forensic evidence during investigations of suspected and known security incidents and breaches to patient privacy, especially if sanctions against a workforce member, business associate, or other contracted agent will be applied
· Tracking disclosures of PHI
· Responding to patient privacy concerns regarding unauthorized access by family members, friends, or others
· Evaluating the overall effectiveness of policy and user education regarding appropriate access and use of patient information (comparing actual worker activity to expected activity and discovering where additional training or education may be necessary to reduce errors)
· Detecting new threats and intrusion attempts
· Identifying potential problems
· Addressing compliance with regulatory and accreditation requirements

Chapter One: System Overview1.1 Introduction
This project is intended to develop a real time Enterprise Resource Planning system with capabilities to monitor inventory levels in the company. Through the system, Big Square Company, who are the clients for the system, will be able to track their current inventory levels as soon a sale is made. The system will enable the management monitor inventory levels in all their branches countrywide. As an addition to managing inventory, Big Square Company will also be able to perform analysis and determine future order dates from their suppliers. This could be attained by creating reorder levels for inventory and subsequent notification to suppliers. Having collected and generated data, the system will be able to generate reports for decision making process by the management of the company. The analysis of the data collected could provide insight on which decisions will have a positive impact on the growth of the company. For example, the data could inform the management which type of food that customers consume more and thus they should stock more of the commodity. They can also be able to determine and relate the effect of seasons to the consumption of the food. 1.2 Users and Stakeholders
The system has a set of users, classified based on their responsibilities in the company. The first user is the store keeper. This is the user with the most basic role of entering new stock as it is received and managing the inventory. This user has limited capabilities based on his/her job description and is attached to one branch. The storekeeper role might have more than one person based on the number of stores that Big Square Company has.
The second user is the general store manager. This user is at management level since he/she handles inventory for more than one branch. This manager approves reorders for more than one store.
The final user of the system is the management team. This user’s role could be by one or more people depending on the management structure. The manager has all the privileges that the other two users have. The manager can be able to see and analyze reports concerning the business. 1.3 Project Initiator or sponsor
The project is initiated and sponsored by Big Square, a fast food company located in Chicago. The company has other branches in other parts of the country. Chapter One Section.
The document discusses the six key steps of access management according to ITIL v3: 1) requesting access, 2) verification, 3) providing rights, 4) monitoring identity status, 5) logging and tracking access, and 6) removing or restricting rights. It emphasizes that access management executes security policies defined elsewhere and is responsible for granting and managing user access based on those policies. Done properly, following these six steps can help organizations better manage passwords, accounts for new and transferred employees, and unauthorized changes.
