1 HIPAA COMPLIANCE WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO ENSURE YOU HAVE CYBERSECURITY COVERED

2 HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS ARE UNDER INTENSE SCRUTINY BY THE US FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE PATIENT DATA IS PROTECTED Within this ebook we are covering the Security Rule as it relates to healthcare organizations. The Security Rule sets the standards for ensuring that only those who should have access to PHI will actually have access. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has done a great job of documenting how to comply with the Security Rule. You can find that documentation here. Basic information about HIPAA is located here.

3 IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT YOUR CUSTOMER S PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII) DATA The Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is responsible for administering and enforcing these standards and may conduct complaint investigations and compliance reviews. The penalties can be steep at $100 to $50,000 or more per violation with a $1,500,000 calendar year cap. State and regional governments may also impose separate fines in addition to the federal ones. To date, more than 41 million individuals have had their protected health information compromised in reportable HIPAA privacy and security breaches, according to data from the HHS Office for Civil Rights.

4 EXAMPLES OF WHEN SECURITY IS COMPROMISED NOVEMBER 12, Hackers swipe data of 60K in vendor HIPAA breach A state insurance plan subcontractor is at the center of a serious security incident after hackers gained three months of unfettered access to its computer system, compromising thousands of members health records. What s more, despite discovering the HIPAA breach in April, it took officials some four months to notify those affected. The Dallas-based Onsite Health Diagnostics a medical testing and screening company, which contracts with the state of Tennessee s wellness plan notified 60,582 people that their protected health information was accessed and stored by an unknown source. The breach affected members from the Tennessee s State Insurance Plan, Local Government Insurance Plan and Local Education Insurance plan. DECEMBER 10, Malware Infection Results in $150,000 HIPAA Fine Anchorage Community Mental Health Services (ACMHS) was fined $150,000 for not preventing malware from infecting its computers. The malicious programming breached the protected electronic health information of 2,743 individuals in violation of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). According to an OCR news release, ACMHS adopted HHS security rule policies in 2005 but never followed them. The introduction of the malware into the ACMHS system was the direct result of ACMHS failing to identify and address basic risks, such as not regularly updating their IT resources with available patches and running outdated, unsupported software, according to an HHS/OCR bulletin (.pdf). In addition to the $150,000 settlement amount, the resolution agreement (.pdf) between ACMHS and OCR includes a corrective action plan and requires ACMHS to report on the state of its compliance to OCR for a 2-year period.

6 1. CREATE A COMMITTEE WITH PLAYERS FROM IT, COMPLIANCE, MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY This team will be responsible for the ongoing cybersecurity of the organization. Ensure that this team is led by a senior executive in the organization. This team can be the Audit committee for the organization. Here is a good read on the subject of Audit committees and cybersecurity from Deloitte.

7 2. USE A FRAMEWORK SUCH AS THE NIST CYBER- SECURITY FRAMEWORK OR THE ISO 27001/27002 The Framework focuses on using business drivers to guide cyber-security activities and considering cyber-security risks as part of the organization s risk management processes. The Framework consists of three parts: the Framework Core, the Framework Profile, and the Framework Implementation Tiers. The Framework Core is a set of cyber-security activities, outcomes, and informative references that are common across critical infrastructure sectors, providing the detailed guidance for developing individual organizational Profiles. Through use of the Profiles, the Framework will help the organization align its cyber-security activities with its business requirements, risk tolerances, and resources. The Tiers provide a mechanism for organizations to view and understand the characteristics of their approach to managing cyber-security risk. NIST framework HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk to NIST Cybersecurity Framework (here)

8 3. CONDUCT A YEARLY SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT TO IDENTIFY RISKS AND DEVELOP A MITIGATION PLAN Risk assessments are used to identify, estimate, and prioritize risk to organizational operations (i.e., mission, functions, image, and reputation), organizational assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation, resulting from the operation and use of information systems. The purpose of risk assessments is to inform decision makers and support risk responses by identifying: (i) relevant threats to organizations or threats directed through organizations against other organizations; (ii) vulnerabilities both internal and external to organizations;(iii) impact (i.e., harm) to organizations that may occur given the potential for threats exploiting vulnerabilities; and (iv) likelihood that harm will occur. The end result is a determination of risk (i.e., typically a function of the degree of harm and likelihood of harm occurring). Risk assessments can be conducted at all three tiers in the risk management hierarchy including Tier 1 (organization level), Tier 2 (mission/business process level), and Tier 3 (information system level). At Tiers 1 and 2, organizations use risk assessments to evaluate, for example, systemic information security-related risks associated with organizational governance and management activities, mission/business processes, enterprise architecture, or the funding of information security programs. At Tier 3, organizations use risk assessments to more effectively support the implementation of the Risk Management Framework (i.e., security categorization; security control selection, implementation, and assessment; information system and common control authorization; and security control monitoring). - NIST Special Publication

9 4. SCHEDULE A 3RD PARTY SECURITY COMPANY TO TEST YOUR ORGANIZATION S SECURITY We encourage that they following tests are run: Penetration Testing Vulnerability Assessments Web Application Assessments Social Engineering Testing

10 5. ENSURE YOUR ORGANIZATION HAS CYBER LIABILITY INSURANCE Not all cyber insurance policies are created equal, so you will need to get educated on all the items the policy will need to cover. Click here for a good article from Modern Healthcare. Click here for information from a DHS sponsored Cyber Insurance Roundtable for Healthcare.

11 6. CONDUCT MANDATORY SECURITY TRAINING Keep everyone in your organization advised of new security threats and underscore the need for vigilance, including being watchful for suspicious s, texts, hyperlinks, etc., as well as social engineering ploys. Here is an example.

12 7. HAVE, FOLLOW AND AUDIT ALL THE NECESSARY PLANS AND POLICIES THAT IMPACT THE ORGANIZATION S DATA SECURITY Companies with the necessary plans in place are able to respond and protect their business more swiftly than those without. There are a number of plans your business could consider including: Business continuity plan Disaster recovery plan Remote access policy Employee termination policy Password policy Encryption policy Data access policy Bring Your Own Device Policy To speed policy development, you can start with open-source templates from SANS found here.

13 8. CREATE AN ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY In an ideal world, employees would use the computers and Internet access provided their employer solely for business use. However, throughout the work day, organizations are often exposed by their users misuse of the system. The dilemma faced by every organization is what to do about it and how to start. The creation and dissemination of an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) can help an organization avoid unwanted consequences and enable it to deal with transgressions in a fair and systematic way that will survive legal challenges without reducing employee morale and productivity. Ensure ALL employees sign the AUP before using your organization s IT resources.

14 9. CREATE AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN Ensure that someone is formally designated for managing your organization s incident response. NIST has published a Computer Security Incident Response Guide that can help you develop appropriate policies and procedures. Practice by running through scenarios with your incident response team at least once a year to ensure that your processes are working as expected.

15 10. USE A REAL-TIME CONTINUOUS MONITORING SOLUTION NETWATCHER.COM NetWatcher s Security-as-a-Service platform enables organizations to have a cost-effective 24 x 7 security service monitoring their networks for vulnerabilities and exploits.
