HIPAA Attestation

An effective HIPAA compliance program is essential in protecting personal data, reducing risk, and meeting regulatory expectations.

HIPAA Security and Privacy Compliance

With provisions extending beyond medical facilities, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires any organization that processes personal health information (PHI) to demonstrate compliance with HIPAA security and privacy safeguards, as well as the related HITECH breach notification requirements.

The expansion of these requirements to providers’ business associates, including cloud service providers, a dynamic regulatory environment, and growing concern about healthcare–related security breaches, create significant risks throughout the healthcare sector and its business partners.

A HIPAA attestation, required for covered entities and their business associates, provides third– party assurance your organization understands its regulatory obligations and has implemented policies and procedures to protect PHI from unauthorized access or disclosure.

SOC 2 Reports Adapted for HIPAA

SOC 2 reports assess a service organization’s internal controls related to data security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. These reports provide assurance to customers, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders that the service organization’s policies and procedures are designed and operating effectively. A SOC 2 Security and Privacy report maps closely to HIPAA’s security and privacy rules, and can be supplemented with incremental criteria as needed for your organization.
