HIPPA Compliance

HIPPA has suggested the diverse range of security implications for the hospital networks, as they need to have robust security framework to protect the integrity of patient’s record. In this regard, the most prominent security mechanisms have been identified to ensure hospital compliance with HIPPA requirements include the administrative safeguard, the technical safeguards of the hospital, as well as the physical safeguards of the hospital (HIPAA, n.d.). Therefore, in order to ensure whether or not the hospital is complying with HIPPA requirements, it is important to evaluate the administrative safeguards of the hospital, i.e., risk assessment approaches, BYOD policies, network policies, network security policies, as well as security management
processes that are being followed within the organization.
