Aurora announces HIPAA Compliance

Announcement posted by Aurora Security Consulting Services 29 Nov 2020

Aurora, a security consulting services provider who helps customers solve their complex business problems through technology, offers HIPAA Security and Compliance Risk Assessments.

Prior to HIPAA there was no generalized security standards that protected health information inside the healthcare industry. As new technologies evolve, electronic information systems are increasingly relied on for payments, health information and administration. Using technology for health records and lab results increase cyber security risks.

The Security Rule is intended to protect privacy of health information. Aurora's HIPAA Security and Compliance Risk Assessment is intended to assess whether a healthcare organization meets the industry standard of security.  As threats to security advance, HIPAA is steadily becoming more complicated. When an organization fails to comply to HIPAA standards, it can result in monetary punishments and legal trouble.

Aurora works with healthcare organizations to navigate factors that prevent an organization from being HIPAA compliant in a HIPAA Security Risk and Compliance Assessment. Aurora works to strengthen the security posture of a healthcare organization.

There are several key benefits of working with Aurora on a HIPAA Security and Compliance Risk Assessment.   We help a healthcare organization’s ability to demonstrate and maintain compliance with HIPAA mandates.  Additionally, keeping a good security posture keeps protected health information (PHI) safe from malicious threats. Aurora will assess risk and meet the risk analysis requirements that are consistent with HIPAA. Since employees are often a security risk to any organization, they will be educated on security protocols.

Aurora has helped clients with a HIPAA Security and Compliance Assessment by providing comparative information and baselines against industry standard practices in addition to HIPAA mandated review items in the Security Rule. Aurora’s complete assessments includes interviews with individual personnel, policy and procedure review, system analysis, and remediation suggestions.

Aurora’s approach to the HIPAA Security Risk and Compliance Assessment is cost effective without cutting corners. The assessment is comprehensive, assessing both physical and logical security and comparing best practices for security confidential data. Aurora aims to help customers achieve greater return on investment through maintaining a good security posture.

The team at Aurora looks forward to helping your healthcare organization meet HIPAA compliance through working on a HIPAA Security and Compliance assessment.
