Regulations & Standards
- HIPAA1. What is HIPAA? The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) is a federal legislation that set forth national standards to safeguard sensitive patient health information from unauthorized disclosure without the patient’s knowledge or consent. The HIPAA regulation consists of four rules: 1. Privacy Rule The Privacy Rule is designed to guarantee that entities handling health information implement appropriate measures to safeguard the information from unauthorized access or disclosure.Empower individuals with the knowledge and control over how their health information is utilized. Adherence to the Privacy Rule assures individuals seeking healthcare that an organization is dedicated to preserving the confidentiality and security of their information. Even if individuals are not interacting directly with an organization, they can trust the HIPAA framework to maintain the privacy of their data across all involved parties. 2. Security Rule The Security Rule is focused on protecting a specific subset of information encompassed by the Privacy Rule by establishing standards for the protection of electronically stored and transmitted PHI (ePHI). This is achieved by mandating the implementation of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Compliance with the Security Rule signifies an organization’s dedication to safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and security of ePHI, and…
  - Find the right software for your HIPAA compliance needs by comparing software capabilities, covered requirements, compliance impact, and the level of evidence the software supports. The HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) is a U.S. law that mandates national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information, known as protected health information (PHI).
- ISO/IEC 270011. What is ISO/IEC 27001? ISO/IEC 27001 is an internationally acknowledged standard, belonging to the ISO/IEC 27000 series, that outlines the requirements for managing an organization’s information security program through a well-defined ISMS. 2. What is an ISMS (Information Security Management System)? An Information Security Management System (ISMS) is a comprehensive set of documents, which includes policies, processes, procedures, and controls, designed to facilitate effective risk management. When developing your ISMS, it is crucial to ensure that the controls, policies, and procedures you implement address the following key information security objectives: Confidentiality: Guaranteeing that data is accessible only to authorized individuals. Integrity: Ensuring that data remains complete and accurate at all times. Availability: Ensuring that data is readily accessible to authorized individuals when needed. ISO/IEC 27001 is structured into 10 sections (referred to as “clauses” in ISO/IEC 27001 terminology) and one annex. The first three clauses provide an introductory overview of the process, while clauses 4 to 10 offer more strategic guidance for securing the business as a whole. Each clause provides a set of guidelines designed to enhance your organization’s security posture. Besides these clauses, ISO/IEC 27001 also includes a single annex, known as Annex A. This annex consists…

- NERC CIP1. What is NERC CIP? NERC CIP, which stands for North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection, is a collection of cybersecurity standards devised to safeguard the vital infrastructure of the North American electric grid. The objective of NERC CIP standards is to guarantee the reliability, security, and resilience of the electric power system by setting requirements for the identification and protection of critical assets and confidential information. Below is a summary of the NERC CIP framework: CIP-002: Critical Cyber Assets Identification: This requirement is centered on the identification and categorization of critical cyber assets within an organization’s control systems that are essential for the reliable operation of large-scale energy systems. CIP-003: Security Management Controls: This requirement is centered on the implementation of security management controls to establish and maintain an effective cybersecurity program. This encompasses the development of policies, conducting risk assessments, and implementing security controls. CIP-004: Personnel and Training: This requirement underscores the significance of qualified personnel and appropriate training to support an organization’s cybersecurity initiatives. CIP-005: Electronic Security Perimeter: This requirement is centered on establishing secure electronic access points or security perimeters to shield critical cyber assets from unauthorized access and cyber threats. CIP-006: Physical Security…

- PCI DSS1. What is PCI DSS? Companies that store, process or transmit cardholder data are required to comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This standard defined by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) specifies technical and operational requirements established to protect cardholder data, in-scope data includes the sensitive authentication data (stored on magnetic stripe data or equivalent on a chip, CVC2, CVV2, CID, PINs, PIN blocks) and the primary account number (PAN). The PCI SSC is responsible for managing the security standards, while compliance with the PCI set of standards is enforced by the founding members of the Council, American Express, Discover Financial Services, JCB International, MasterCard Worldwide and Visa Inc. Companies must undergo an annual security audit and quarterly network scan by PCI SSC approved providers. Not complying with the PCI DSS standard could lead to fines of non-compliance up to $500,000, expensive litigation costs, and being barred from cardholder data processing from card schemes. Furthermore, non-compliance has a direct impact on brand reputation and exposes companies to negative publicity that damages consumer confidence. The PCI DSS is composed of 12 requirements, organized into six control objectives: Build and Maintain a Secure…
