Keep your users’ financial data secure while enhancing operational efficiency
PCI DSS – the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – is one of the foundational regulatory frameworks on information security for organizations that process credit card payments.
Card transactions take seconds yet transmit highly-sensitive information that organizations are obligated to safeguard.
Overview
of HIPAA
The HIPAA Privacy Rule outlines the national standards for storing and protecting PHI (Protected Health Information). The Security Rule outlines the framework for the protection of health data that is stored or transferred electronically.
The two rules – the HIPPA Privacy Rule and the Security Rule – are the main pillars of HIPAA. They outline by how, when, and by whom data can be accessed, as well as what technical and nontechnical safeguards must be put in place by covered entities.
Importance of HIPAA compliance
The HIPAA framework is designed to ensure that patients’ sensitive information remains protected. Covered entities must prioritize the secure management of their patients’ data, as it is nothing less than the safety and well-being of patients that is at risk.
Organizations that fail to maintain HIPAA compliance might face steep monetary penalties. Depending on the degree of negligence, fines range from $100 per violation in the event of a single unintentional HIPAA violation to $1.5 million if a violation is due to willful neglect. In 2019, the average financial penalty was $1.2 million.
Compliance with HIPAA is not limited to how you store data. The policies and measures you put in place must comply with every rule, including:
The Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
The Privacy Rule of 2000 and its amendments
The Security Rule of 2003 and its amendments
The HIPAA Enforcement Rule of 2006
The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and
The Omnibus Final Rule of 2013
