• Access Controls: A covered entity must implement technical policies and procedures limiting access to systems containing electronic protected health information (ePHI) only to personnel with sufficient access rights. (164.312 (a)) The Access Controls specifications include: 
• Audit Conrols: A covered entity must implement software that record and examine activity in information systems that contain or use ePHI. (164.312 (b))
  • Having Unique User Identification 
  • Having an Emergency Access Procedure
  • Having Automatic Logoff Process

• Integrity: A covered entity must implement policies and procedures to protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction. (164.312 (c)). This includes having a mechanism to authenticate ePHI. 
• Person or Entity Authentication: A covered entity implement procedures to verify a person or entity accessing ePHI is the one claimed. (164.32 (d)) 
• Transmission Security: A covered entity must implement technical measures to guard against unauthorized access to ePHI that is being transmitted over an electronic communications network (164.312 (e)). This includes having integrity controls and encryption. 

HIPAA Compliance

Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is extremely sensitive, confidential patient data that, according to both state and federal regulations, must be kept secure, regardless if it's stored, transmitted, or transferred. If these policies aren't followed by a covered business or its associates (including their subcontractors), severe penalties of up to $1,500,000 per year may be imposed upon that business. 

A single breach into your unprotected system may now result in heftier fines, client reparation costs, and most importantly, the biggest casualty of them all being your business' reputation.
