Key takeaways for your organization

  • Treat internet-facing systems and vendor-hosted environments as in-scope for HIPAA risk analysis and technical safeguards testing.
  • Maintain an actionable risk analysis tied to remediation milestones; evidence should map to Security Rule implementation specifications.
  • Align policies, procedures, and evidence with the specific CFR provisions cited in OCR resolutions affecting your entity type.
  • Run tabletop exercises for breach response, OCR inquiry handling, and privilege-preserving communications with counsel.
