HIPAA
Safeguards for protected health information.
HIPAA establishes requirements for protecting individually identifiable health information. The Security Rule addresses administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information, and requires an accurate and thorough risk analysis.
Covered entities and business associates both carry obligations, and business associate relationships extend them down the supply chain.
Who it applies to
- Covered entities handling protected health information
- Business associates and their subcontractors
- Technology vendors serving healthcare organizations
Reporting and visibility
- Safeguard coverage
- Risk register status
- Policy review status
- Vendor assessment status
Challenges
What makes this framework hard to manage
Risk analysis as an artifact
The analysis is required, and it is expected to be maintained rather than performed once.
Policy and workforce records
Documentation obligations spread across departments.
Business associate oversight
Third-party relationships need structured review.
