GRC Assessment Platform for HIPAA Security Rule

The HIPAA Security Rule establishes national standards to protect individuals’ electronic personal health information (ePHI) that is created, received, used, or maintained by a covered entity. It requires appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and security of ePHI. The rule mandates covered entities to assess their security risks, implement necessary security measures, ensure compliance by their workforce, and manage potential breaches effectively. This includes policies and procedures designed to clearly define how the entity will protect ePHI, address security incidents, and ensure that employees understand their roles in safeguarding sensitive health information.
