Build and enforce a robust security program for the public cloud.
Dash gives organizations a view into their current state of compliance in the cloud. Healthcare organizations can detect security issues and resolve HIPAA compliance concerns including:
Dash alerts you when there are issues related to cloud security groups, available ports and other network concerns.
Dash notifies you when your team utilizes AWS services that are out of the realm of Amazon’s Business Associates Agreement (BAA).
Dash provides alerts and recommendations for resolving issues with unencrypted cloud services.
Dash gives your team recommendations for AWS audit log configuration, so you can track system integrity.
Dash provides recommendations for backup and disaster recovery settings that your team should implement in your cloud environment.
Dash notifies you whenever your organization must conduct risk assessments, reviews, or other tasks related to Dash Administrative Policies.
Create administrative policies and controls by answering plain-english questions. These policy controls are connected into Dash technical controls and monitoring.
Set security controls across all of your AWS cloud services. So you can easily manage HIPAA compliance across your entire cloud environment.
Dash continuously scans and monitors all services. Teams receive security alerts and remediation for all potential HIPAA compliance issues.
Dash configures, monitors, and remediates compliance issues within your organization’s cloud services. Below are some examples of HIPAA security controls that are enforced and monitored for AWS services:

Dash enables teams to plan and implement compliance safeguards and security controls including the following
Designate Security and Privacy Officer roles and define HIPAA compliance responsibilities within the organization.
Create policies for managing HIPAA requirements related to employee training and system access. Dictate access to PHI and sensitive data.
Configure an audit logging solution and determine how logs are collected, reviewed, and accessed to meet HIPAA requirements.
Implement and perform intrusion detection. Find malicious behavior and compliance issues before they become violations.
Address HIPAA risk assessment and risk analysis requirements. Set review periods for gathering compliance information, reviewing safeguards, and handling reports.
Create a standard operating procedure for responding to security incidents. Set policies for notifying customers and vendors of potential HIPAA security breaches.
Setup a Disaster Recovery team and set Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) for responding to application and service availability issues within your organization.
Set standard policies and technical controls for encrypting PHI data in-transit and at-rest on AWS.
From healthcare providers to software services and medical devices. You’re in good company.
Dash compliance controls are built around cloud computing and HIPAA safeguards such as
Ensure that all cloud data volumes, cloud databases, and transmitted data is encrypted.
Ensure that cloud network and security groups do not expose ports or access that may compromise PHI.
Ensure that your company uses proper user roles and policies in AWS. Avoid HIPAA violations stemmed from access issues.
Ensure that your organization’s logs are properly collected, aggregated, and analyzed.
Set procedures for conducting risk assessments. Receive alerts and notifications for remediating compliance issues.
