Business continuity and disaster recovery plans are important for businesses of all sizes. They help to ensure that in emergency situations, the business can continue to function. In the event of a natural disaster, war, terrorist activity or disease pandemic, the business can continue as normal.

Business continuity and disaster recovery plans are a requirement of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and business associates of HIPAA-covered entities must develop a business continuity plan and test that plan to make sure it is effective if it ever needs to be implemented.

HIPAA not only requires these plans, it also gives a clear outline on creating such a plan for your business, training staff, and ensuring employees can securely access systems and data when working remotely.

To help you with this essential part of HIPAA compliance, Compliancy Group is hosting a webinar in which you will discover how HIPAA can become your guidance and how it plays an important part of business and life in a post pandemic world.
