Demonstrating Security and Privacy with a Uniform Approach

This session will focus on A Uniform Approach to Sharing Assurances and Other Certifications Attendees will learn from established industry leaders how to demonstrate that they meet a variety of security and privacy requirements such as the HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules, NIST , ISO, PCI, and other standards. 

 

RELATED: Understanding and Implementing HIPAA Rules

 

Healthcare entities and related business associates must often reply to hundreds of individual audit requests and customer questionnaires annually in response to requests for proposals; many of these responses require separate analysis and responses to the same or overlapping questions. In addition, entities responding to these third-party requests must do so using a wide variety of forms and reporting formats. At the Paubox Spring Summit, Parisi, Kline, Mead, and Rosen will share their relevant experiences and insight regarding the management and oversight of sharing such assurances and certifications.
