FREE WEBINAR: Cybersecurity & Compliance in the Digital Age

Posted by Ian

Advanced Compliance Strategies for Modern Healthcare Organizations

The healthcare industry is being targeted by financially motivated threat actors seeking access to sensitive data, supply chains are being infiltrated, and patient data is being stolen and held to ransom. The HHS’ Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has proposed updates to the HIPAA Security Rule, state legislatures have been introducing their own regulations, and OCR’s enforcement priorities are evolving.

Compliance was already a challenge for healthcare organizations and their business associates, and now even more so due to a sprawling attack surface, increasingly sophisticated threat actors, and an evolving regulatory environment.

Traditional compliance frameworks need to evolve, and advanced strategies should be adopted to ensure compliance and mitigate the risk of cyberattacks and regulatory penalties.

This month, Compliancy Group is hosting a webinar to help healthcare organizations and their business associates adopt risk-based strategies and advanced controls to ensure compliance and better protect against the growing threat of cyberattacks and insider breaches.

The webinar goes beyond the basic security requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, drawing on real-world scenarios, the latest enforcement trends, and providing practical strategies for managing risk.

Webinar attendees will benefit from:

  • An analysis of OCR enforcement trends and the implications for cybersecurity programs
  • Guidance on developing risk-based approaches to third-party vendor management and cloud computing compliance
  • Assistance in implementing advanced monitoring and controls to improve cybersecurity and compliance
