HIPAA Consulting Engagement Phases

Here is a brief overview of all the phases involved in implementing HIPAA compliance.

PHASE I - Understanding Business, and ePHI Data Processing

Every client is unique with its business model, customers and business objectives.
The HIPAA implementation journey starts with this phase where we determine and document the clients’ ePHI processing requirements.
Determination of covered entity and/or business associate
Determination of applicable HIPAA requirements

PHASE II -
Gap Analysis and Risk Assessment

As the name suggests, this phase is aimed at determining both the current controls and the ‘missing controls’.
In addition this phase involves determining ePHI and its lifecycle, with its assets that store, process and/or transmit the information.
How comprehensive is the HIPAA security risk assessment? We perform a 3-phase risk assessment that involves information assets, security controls, thereby giving clients an unparalleled view of their security risks.
Gap Analysis phase is a key phase in designing security control responsibility to the organisation’s stakeholders.
This is where identified gaps, applicable controls (based on applicable HIPAA requirements), with their references to stakeholders and policy/procedure/practice requirements are determined, and documented.

PHASE III - Design, Documentation and Risk Monitoring

Design involves control allocation responsibility to organisation stakeholders.
Documentation involves drafting 20+ policies and procedures. Major policies includes technical, physical, administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards.
The phase involves brainstorming with policy owners and training staff to align them with documented controls and policies.
Risks identified in the gap analysis are tracked towards closure.

PHASE IV -
HIPAA Safeguards Measurement

Measurement involves testing the HIPAA ePHI Security implementation effectiveness and giving a 0-100% score.
We have a structured methodology using that we score HIPAA security requirements based on interplay of business transactions with HIPAA security requirements, and present this to the management using a formal report.

PHASE V -
Internal Audit and Management Review

Internal Audit involves verifying the effectiveness of the implemented lifecycle controls through interviews with physical and system verification of applicable security policies, as it applies to the organisation control design.
A formal report is published for management committee.
We facilitate reviews with the management to ensure that the initial Privacy policy objectives and goals are achieved.
