What does the HIPAA Security Rule require?

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI) through administrative, physical and technical safeguards, including risk analysis, access control, audit controls, transmission security and workforce training.

Who has to comply with HIPAA?

HIPAA applies to covered entities — healthcare providers, health plans and healthcare clearinghouses — and to the business associates that handle ePHI on their behalf, including the MSPs that support them.

Does HIPAA require a risk analysis?

Yes. 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1) requires an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ePHI, reviewed on an ongoing basis.

How does SBCMSP help with HIPAA compliance?

SBCMSP continuously maps its product coverage to the HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, scores each control as pass, partial or fail on every scan, auto-collects timestamped evidence and generates a white-label, audit-ready report for the client and auditor.
