The Need for Audits and Compliance
As the importance of cyber security spreads through our digital society, federal and state legislators are noting that businesses are losing trust and potentially breaking laws without an effective cybersecurity program. Organizations are now being required to make cyber security a top priority.
Both the healthcare industry and the credit card industry have created infosec standards.
HIPAA compliance involves fulfilling the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, its subsequent amendments, and any related legislation such as the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act. HIPAA, sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any company that deals with protected health information (PHI) must ensure that all the required physical, network, and process security measures are in place and followed. (It’s not just hospitals and clinics)
The PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has become the standard of compliance for any and all payment processors. In order to comply with PCI DSS, vendors must review their security landscape to determine the scope of their risk.
The compliance regulations you must follow depend upon the industry.
