Breach, Encryption &
Your Peace of Mind
The HITECH Act that was signed into law in
February 2009, directed Health and Human
Services to develop guidance and regulations to
deal with breach. Regulations were published in
August 2009 and HHS began enforcement of
breach in February 2010.
At TMC, we now have one whole year of
experience in dealing with various HIPAA
breaches, and can share with you what we
know through our programs and services.
Ask yourself… do you really understand the
regulation and how it could impact your
practice? Take our test below, and find out…
Test Yourself on your understanding of Breach
with a few short True or False questions below
1. A breach applies only to our
electronic records.
2. If the server in my office is
hacked, stolen or otherwise
compromised, the practice
does not have a breach if
proprietary software that
cannot be accessed is used
even if it is not encrypted.
3. Encryption is needed for
portable devices such as
laptops with PHI but not for
PHI that never leaves my
office.
4. My Business Associates are
now responsible to HHS for
compliance with HIPAA and
subject to all fines and
penalties.
5. If there is an inadvertent disclosure
of PHI by a person who is not
authorized to access PHI, the
disclosure will still be a “breach”
even if the PHI is not further used
or disclosed in a manner that
violates the Privacy Rules.
6. Practices are required by law toreport all breaches to the patient
and HHS.
7. Multiple State & Federal laws have
breach notification requirements.
8. If a breach affects 500 or more
individuals, the covered entity (not
the business associate) must notify
“prominent media outlets” in the
relevant state or jurisdiction.

SonicWall /10 Best Practices: Controlling Smartphone Access to Corporate Networks
Written on November 22, 2010 at 1:30 pm, by mymobileit
|
The proliferation of mobile devices has led to the “Consumerization of IT” with unprecedented levels of new smartphone devices accessing the corporate network. Employee productivity has reached an all time high – and so has the expectation that any employee should be able to work from any location at any time using any device. While riding this tide does offer potential business benefits, it comes with inherent risks. By allowing unmanaged smartphones to access the network, IT must contend with a host of related problems, ranging from uncontrolled bandwidth consumption to exposing new conduits for malware attack and data leakage. The growing array of platforms, as well as the growing influence of consumer decision making in corporate smartphone deployments, demands a universal, platform-agnostic approach to security best practices, which treats all smartphones as uncontrolled endpoints.
