HIPAA
Assessment
As information security professionals, we understand the privacy and security rules defined by HIPAA and the breach reporting requirements defined by the HITECH Act. Our assessment methodology will ensure an efficient, effective security audit.
HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules apply to all healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and to any service provider that manages electronic protected health information (ePHI). This applies to organizations in the life sciences field such as medical devices, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals.
Service providers (business associates) know that a third-party validation of their HIPAA compliance is a competitive differentiator that demonstrates they are securing ePHI and providing peace of mind to their customers. Software companies, mobile application developers, hosting organizations should consider HIPAA compliance and application security if they are managing ePHI. It is not if a data breach will occur, but when.
We provide audit, advisory and assessment services needed to achieve HIPAA compliance and safeguard your data against vulnerabilities.
