What's Included With Cybersecurity

The Technical Side of HIPAA

HIPAA’s Security Rule requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect electronic health information. For many West Palm Beach practices, the technical safeguards are where they need the most help.

Safeguards We Put in Place

Access control. Unique accounts, role-based access and multi-factor authentication
Encryption. On laptops, devices and email
Audit controls. Logging of access to systems containing patient data
Integrity and availability. Backups and recovery planning around your downtime tolerance
Endpoint protection. EDR and patching on every device
Transmission security. Secure remote access and network separation

Documentation and Ongoing Support

We document the controls in place to support your compliance records and audits, and keep them maintained as staff and systems change.

Our Role

We help you meet the technical requirements. We don’t provide legal advice or certify compliance, and we work alongside your compliance officer or advisors. See also healthcare IT support.

How the Safeguards Map to the Rule

How the technical safeguards map to what we implement:

Access control (164.312(a)): unique user IDs, role-based permissions, automatic logoff and emergency access procedures
Audit controls (164.312(b)): centralized logging of sign-ins and access to systems holding patient data
Integrity (164.312(c)): protection against unauthorized changes, backed by versioned, immutable backups
Authentication (164.312(d)): MFA on email, remote access and EMR where supported
Transmission security (164.312(e)): TLS, encrypted email and VPN or zero-trust remote access
Supporting evidence: asset inventory, patch reports and restore test results for your risk analysis

HIPAA Compliance Services in West Palm Beach: Common Questions

Do you make us HIPAA compliant?

We help you meet HIPAA's technical safeguard requirements and document them. Overall compliance also involves policies, training, risk analysis and administrative decisions that remain your organization's responsibility.

Who needs to follow HIPAA?

Healthcare providers, health plans and clearinghouses, plus business associates that handle protected health information on their behalf.

Can you help with a security risk analysis?

We can review your technical environment and provide findings that feed into your risk analysis, working with your compliance officer.

What technical safeguards do you implement?

Typically unique user accounts, multi-factor authentication, encryption, automatic logoff, audit logging, endpoint protection, secure email and backups.

Is Microsoft 365 HIPAA compliant?

Microsoft includes a Business Associate Agreement for eligible Microsoft 365 plans, but the settings still have to be configured correctly. We set up MFA, encryption, retention and logging so the platform supports your HIPAA obligations.

How often should a practice review its HIPAA safeguards?

At least once a year and whenever something significant changes, such as new software, a new location or a security incident. We review the technical controls with you on a regular schedule.
