A complete OCR-Quality® Risk Analysis Solution, trusted by hundreds of healthcare organizations
Conducting a "by-the-book" HIPAA security risk analysis that evaluates threats and vulnerabilities to all information systems used to receive, create, transmit, or store ePHI, while also complying with strict guidance from the Office for Civil Rights, is no small task. Completing an enterprise-wide, information system-based risk analysis correctly requires the right tools, expertise, and resources.
Take our HIPAA Security Risk Analysis Self-Review survey and find out where your stands in relation to meeting requirements.
The Right Tools
Our HIPAA Risk Analysis solution combines our proven methodology and systematic process with our proprietary, preconfigured IRM|Analysis® software to deliver a complete view of exposures across your enterprise.
The HIPAA Security Rule sets out an explicit requirement to complete a periodic risk analysis at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A):
(A) Risk analysis (Required). Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the covered entity or business associate.
(B) Risk management (Required). Implement security measures sufficient to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to a reasonable and appropriate level to comply with §164.306(a).
IRM|Analysis® will enable your organization to meet the HIPAA Security Rule requirement for risk analysis as well as similar requirements found in many other regulations.
Risk Analyses performed by, or in consultation with, Clearwater have been accepted by the Office for Civil Rights 100% of the time. Our Risk Analysis Solution also meets the requirements specified in the Promoting Interoperability (formerly Meaningful Use) Stage I and Stage II objectives.
“90% of OCR Enforcement cases involving ePHI cite an insufficient risk analysis.”
