Performing a security risk analysis is a smart business practice… and a HIPAA requirement.
The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to conduct an annual risk assessment of their health care organization. Electronic protected health information (ePHI) is critical to your business and vital to the care of your patients. Conducting a security risk analysis (SRA) will help identify areas where protected health information could be at risk.
All ePHI that is created, received, maintained, or transmitted by an organization is subject to the Security Rule. The rule also requires entities to evaluate risks and vulnerabilities in their environment and implement appropriate security measures to protect the integrity and security of ePHI.
Completing an SRA and correcting any deficiencies are core requirements for many incentive programs, such as the Quality Payment Program and the Promoting Interoperability Program (formerly Meaningful Use). The SRA should be performed annually to be HIPAA compliant and meet reporting requirements.

“As a former CIO for a large primary care system and now CTO for a national healthcare group, I can attest to the importance of obtaining a proper and thorough security risk assessment from a competent third-party entity. With the ever-present HIPAA Security Rule constantly changing it is extremely difficult to understand these changes, much less where an organization might be at risk. Having 新京十大正规网站 conduct our SRAs delivered a huge benefit to us through their ability to large-scale and provide meaningful feedback relative to actual site visits relative to compliance. I highly recommend the 新京十大正规网站 Team!”
