The SecurityMetrics HIPAA Guide Helps Healthcare Organizations With Data Security

The SecurityMetrics 2023 Guide to HIPAA Compliance is now available for free download!

Healthcare organizations face unique challenges when it comes to data security. They are a vulnerable target not only because their data is valuable but because healthcare organizations are more likely to pay a ransom since they need their computers and equipment up and running to care for their patients.?

They also share a lot of information across a broad spectrum of people, communication channels, and even locations. This means data security and data security training become even more complicated.?

Understanding the HIPAA compliance, especially the Privacy and Security Rules, is key to avoiding worst-case scenarios like ransomware and malware which can cost millions of dollars and impact patient care.?

However, HIPAA laws and cybersecurity are not simple. That’s why SecurityMetrics created the SecurityMetrics Guide to HIPAA compliance. The 2023 HIPAA Guide breaks down HIPAA guidelines into actionable steps and easy-to-understand information so that your healthcare staff can be fully educated on data privacy and protection.?

The SecurityMetrics HIPAA Guide can be used as a reference guide, a training aid, and a tool to support the processes involved in compliance. Non-compliance isn’t typically due to willful ignorance. More often we find it is due to a lack of knowledge and communication.?

We hope this guide will be a resource in helping security teams understand HIPAA guidelines and improve communication about compliance between team members and departments.?
