HIPAA
Compliance Service Provider in India
Ensures Data Privacy of Medical Records and Patient’s Personal Health Information
HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, provides a set of information security requirements for organizations that fall under the category of a covered entity. These are organizations that handle, transmit, or receive electronic protected health information (ePHI).
HIPAA regulations not only apply to clinics and healthcare providers, but any healthcare-related organizations such as medical device companies, or organizations that handle data that falls under the definition of PHI.
How It Works
Scope Determination
We list out the assets or network segment in the current scope. We understand the business process, e-PHI assets, their storage and exchange. We list out the vulnerabilities in the e-PHI handling and storing mechanism.
Gap Analysis
We perform a detailed assessment of the shortcomings of the current state of IT assets against the recommended standards of HIPAA and industry best practices.
Implementation
This stage involves aligning current processes involving e-PHI handling, with the guidelines of HIPAA. We implement necessary controls and modify current information flow processes to improve the security posture of the organisation. HIPAA is primarily concerned with security and privacy of e-PHI of patients.
Internal Audit
Under this stage, we perform a checklist-oriented audit to verify adherence to suggested controls and implementation. This helps us rectify process oversights and enforce employee level controls if needed. We recommend changes in organisational policies and access control mechanisms.
Certification
Certification process is carried out by independent auditors, not by the implementers. We bring the auditor for the certification process. Thus, we take care of end to end process from scope determination to certification making the whole process easy for the client.
