SAFEGUARDING HEALTHCARE THROUGH CYBERSECURITY

Cybersecurity in healthcare is a critical concern because healthcare industry is a prime target for cyberattacks.

Healthcare organizations store a vast amount of sensitive and valuable information, including patient records, insurance information, and payment details. This makes them a prime target for cybercriminals seeking to steal personal information or extort money.

Cybersecurity protects sensitive patient information (ePHI) from unauthorized access, theft, or manipulation, which can lead to financial loss legal penalties, damage to reputation, and most importantly, compromised patient safety and privacy

REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE

in the USA, healthcare industry is subject to various cybersecurity regulations to protect patient data from cyber threats.
The main regulatory framework is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which is enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Other cybersecurity regulations include the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework.

NON-COMPLIANCE AND CONSEQUENCES

If healthcare providers do not comply with regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), there can be serious consequences.

• Monetary penalties
• Damage to reputation
• Legal liability
• Loss of license or accreditation
• Criminal charges

MINDWHIZ – 6 STEPS TO BUILDING A SECURE NETWORK FOR YOU

Building a HIPAA-compliant network can be complex. It requires a thorough understanding of the technologies and tool-sets needed to build a secure infrastructure. You need a skilled team of Security Engineers and Infrastructure experts to effectively secure your digital assets.
MindwhizCyber can help build you a network that meets HIPAA requirements:

01. CONDUCT A RISK ASSESSMENT (RISKS TO ePHI)

The first step in building a HIPAA-compliant network is to conduct a risk assessment to identify potential security risks to ePHI. This will help you understand the scope of your network and determine what technical and administrative safeguards you need to implement.

02. IMPLEMENT TECHNICAL SAFEGUARDS

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to implement technical safeguards to protect ePHI. This includes implementing access controls, such as password authentication, to limit access to ePHI to authorized users. You should also implement encryption technologies to protect ePHI in transit and at rest.

03. IMPLEMENT ADMINISTRATIVE SAFEGUARDS

In addition to technical safeguards, the HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities to implement administrative safeguards to protect ePHI. This includes developing and implementing security policies and procedures, providing workforce training on security awareness, and implementing a contingency plan in the event of a security breach.

04. USE HIPAA-COMPLIANT HOSTING SERVICES

To ensure that your network is HIPAA compliant, you should use a hosting service that is specifically designed to meet HIPAA requirements. These hosting services will provide the necessary technical safeguards, such as encryption and access controls, to protect ePHI

05. REGULARLY MONITOR AND AUDIT YOUR NETWORK

To maintain HIPAA compliance, it’s important to regularly monitor and audit your network to identify and address any security vulnerabilities. This includes monitoring network activity, regularly reviewing security logs, and performing regular security assessments.

06. DOCUMENT YOUR COMPLIANCE EFFORTS

To maintain HIPAA compliance, it’s important to regularly monitor and audit your network to identify and address any security vulnerabilities. This includes monitoring network activity, regularly reviewing security logs, and performing regular security assessments.
