3 Compliance Considerations for HIPAA-Required Breach Response

In the wake of a breach, navigating a response to quickly eradicate the hackers from the network and reduce the impact of an attack is no easy feat. But in the healthcare sector, ensuring a response is also compliant with HIPAA and other state and federal regulations further escalates response challenges. 

Meanwhile, a recent report showed just 44 percent of healthcare provider organizations comply with NIST Cybersecurity Framework standards, a key element to ensuring a secure healthcare environment, which can help support HIPAA compliance. With the rise in ransomware and other sophisticated cyberattacks, it’s crucial for providers to remain compliant with HIPAA guidelines when responding to a breach.
