HIPAA

Ensures Data Privacy of Medical Records and Patient’s Personal Health Information

The Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), is a United State's legislation, developed with the aim of providing data privacy and security in order to safeguard medical information. HIPAA is mandatory for companies working within the U.S. and handling healthcare data. Kratikal has worked with many clients and remediated their compliance needs with regards to HIPAA.

How It Works

SCOPE DETERMINATION

We list out the assets or network segment in the current scope. We understand the business process, e-PHI assets, their storage and exchange. We list out the vulnerabilities in the e-PHI handling and storing mechanism.

3

IMPLEMENTATION

This stage involves aligning current processes involving e-PHI handling, with the guidelines of HIPAA. We implement necessary controls and modify current information flow processes to improve the security posture of the organisation. HIPAA is primarily concerned with security and privacy of e-PHI of patients.

4

INTERNAL AUDIT

Under this stage, we perform a checklist-oriented audit to verify adherence to suggested controls and implementation. This helps us rectify process oversights and enforce employee level controls if needed. We recommend changes in organisational policies and access control mechanisms.

CERTIFICATION

Certification process is carried out by independent auditors, not by the implementers. We bring the auditor for the certification process. Thus, we take care of end to end process from scope determination to certification making the whole process easy for the client.
