Security Compliance Tool
This is a two-part project…1-2 written pages and the excel template.
Overview
In this assignment you will utilize an objective tool to assess third-party business associate compliance with HIPAA rules, such as PHI security. The tool is modeled after templates from federal healthcare regulatory agencies. By demonstrating the use of this tool, you will show your knowledge of the HIPAA rules covering the safeguards for Protected Health Information (PHI) and your competency in monitoring third-party compliance in healthcare information security.
Write a 1-2 page (double-spaced) report summarizing the three categories of safeguards under the HIPAA, defining the terms Required and Addressable, and analyzing why some items are Required and others Addressable.
