The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights has launched the updated Security Risk Assessment Tool, aimed at protecting electronic protected health information in healthcare.
As hacking and ransomware attacks continue to increase, it's crucial for healthcare entities to enhance their cybersecurity posture to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information.
The new version of the SRA Tool incorporates current cybersecurity guidance including updated references to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and bolsters support for organizations in addressing cybersecurity risks.
By using the SRA Tool, small and medium-sized healthcare organizations can systematically assess risks to ePHI, utilize best practices, and comply with the HIPAA Security Rule.
