    • HIPAA

      • The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA, is a compliance standard that is designed to protect sensitive patient data. Any organization that deals with protected health information (PHI) is obligated to maintain and follow process, network and physical security measures in order to be HIPAA-compliant.

      • Concerns Associated With HIPAA Compliance

·        HIPAA violations attract hefty penalties.

·        Adequate training for handling PHI and dealing with malicious security attacks is critical.

·        It is imperative to have a Security Incident Response Plan (SIRP) in place to deal with a security event.

·        Professional assistance is required to handle the complexity of audits and to maintain the right documentation.

  • GDPR

    • The General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR, is a regulatory standard according to which businesses are obligated to protect the privacy and personal data of European Union (EU) citizens for all transactions that are carried out within the EU member states. The GDPR standard is intended to unify and reinforce data protection for all individuals that reside within the EU and to control the export of personal data outside the EU.

    •  Concerns Associated With GDPR Compliance

·        Businesses need to be prepared to adapt, test, maintain and demonstrate compliance with evolving GDPR requirements.

·        Non-compliant businesses are liable to pay hefty penalties and can also be temporarily or definitively banned.

·        Ambiguous terms and lack of clarity render GDPR compliance difficult to handle without professional assistance.

  • NIST CSF

    •  The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a framework called the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to streamline cybersecurity for private sector businesses. NIST CSF is a set of voluntary standards, recommendations and best practices that are designed to help organizations prevent, identify, detect, respond to and recover from cyberattacks.

    •  Concerns Associated With NIST Compliance

·        Most businesses do not possess in-house expertise to safely adhere to NIST CSF requirements.

·        Businesses need to understand their unique cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities to properly design, implement and manage their security programs and best practices.
