Cyber Security Consultant for Medical Device Security

CyberSecOp coordinated medical equipment planning, healthcare IT, acoustic, audiovisual, and security consulting services; we ensure an efficient, cost effective, single-source solution, resulting in improved patient care environments and project outcomes. Safety is never an afterthought in Healthcare, and being prepared means knowing who to count on for the ‘what ifs. 

The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, has significantly increased the liability of covered entities under HIPAA and more broadly, their business associates.  Effective February 17, 2010, business associates are subject to HIPAA’s enforcement scheme.

HIPAA Compliance Consulting and Risk Assessments

HIPAA Administrative Simplification Security Rule applies to a business associate of a covered entity in the same manner that such sections apply to the covered entity.  Under the HITECH privacy provisions, the business associate now has direct responsibility and liability for a breach as do healthcare providers.  The Security Rule focuses on administrative safeguards, technical safeguards, and physical safeguards, and it is essential that business associates implement and maintain these safeguards to ensure they are compliant with the HITECH Act.
