HIPAA password requirements

When it comes to HIPAA compliance, there are many factors and areas that you must update, monitor and maintain. One of the most straight forward and first steps in compliance is the creation and deployment of an effective password structure and program. HIPAA password requirements are an often overlooked component of an effective HIPAA compliance program. Along with a robust privacy and security program, strong passwords can go far to protect the sensitive health data you store. HIPAA regulation sets strict national privacy and security standards. These standards are absolutely fundamental to protecting your organization from data breaches and hefty HIPAA fines. Each HIPAA standard corresponds to a policy or procedure that health care organizations must have in place. Once you’ve addressed your HIPAA password requirements, be sure to get the rest of your HIPAA compliance program in check! HIPAA Privacy and Security standards are absolutely essential to protecti...

Meeting GDPR training requirements

Achieving GDPR compliance starts with employee training and education. Ultimately, it is your employees who are responsible for data processing activities your organisation takes. A data protection officer stands at a fork in the road, just months before the General Data Protection Regulation goes into effect . For months, the DPO’s team has been working on getting their program in place. They can finally see their way past writing policies and conducting privacy impact assessments and leading their team as they document all their data classification procedures. Now it’s time to decide how they’ll handle the training requirements embedded within the GDPR. You may be standing at that same fork in the road. There are two paths toward meeting your goals: a deeply cynical option and a hopelessly idealistic option. The cynical path to GDPR training compliance is very direct. It could be as simple as this:require online training for all those who process data, and require these same...

Protected health information

The HIPAA Privacy Rule protects most individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or its business associate, in any form or medium, whether electronic, on paper, or oral. According to this rule protected health information is information , including demographic information, which relates to: the individual’s past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition, the provision of health care to the individual, or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual, and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe can be used to identify the individual. For example, a medical record, laboratory report, or hospital bill would be PHI because each document would contain a patient’s name and/or other identifying information associated with the health data content.

Few common HIPAA violations we should aware.

Imagine what it would be like if there were no HIPAA violations. Everyone would be respectful, and trustworthy. Employees would be honest. Patients wouldn’t withhold important information from medical staff due to mistrust. Unfortunately, this is not the case. HIPAA violations are very common , and the laws are violated every day. Gossiping in itself isn’t a HIPAA violation. However, chatting loudly about a patient and their situation in front of the nurses’ station where everyone can hear, is a violation. Gossiping about patients outside of the work environment to friends or family is also a violation. People are naturally curious. As employees, we have access to patient information, even information we don’t necessarily need to know to do our jobs. Naturally, when a patient is famous or is well-known on the news, we want to know all the inside information. Once the patient’s record or chart is accessed unlawfully, it’s a HIPAA violation. This seems to be a very common occurrence....

Prevent Phishing Attacks

What Is Phishing? Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The first phishing lawsuit was filed in 2004 against a Californian teenager who created the imitation of the website “America Online”. With this fake website, he was able to gain sensitive information from users and access the credit card details to withdraw money from their accounts. Other than email and website phishing, there’s also 'vishing' (voice phishing), 'smishing' (SMS Phishing) and several other phishing techniques cybercriminals are constantly coming up with.  Prevent Phishing Attacks: Though hackers are constantly coming up with new techniques, there are some things that  you can do to protect yourself and your organization:...
