Build and Maintain Your HIPAA Compliance Program In The Public Cloud
HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is a US regulation that provides requirements for how organizations manage and secure patient data and protected health information (PHI). Healthcare providers and vendors such as healthtech companies, medical device companies, and SaaS solutions, must implement all HIPAA safeguards in order to maintain HIPAA compliance and work with patient data.
Organizations must sign a BAA with their cloud provider before storing, managing, and/or processing protected health information (PHI). This agreement outlines all HIPAA security responsibilities shared between the cloud provider and the cloud customer.
Organizations utilize Dash ComplyOps to build a robust HIPAA security program, custom administrative policies and all necessary security controls required under the cloud shared responsibility model.
Teams continue to maintain HIPAA security standards through Dash continuous compliance monitoring. Security teams can easily identify and resolve compliance issues before they turn into HIPAA violations
