The HIPAA Security Rule addresses electronic protected health information or ePHI. According to the HIPAA Security Law, organizations must 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, otherwise known as a Risk Analysis.
RCAT™ brings you a cost-effective solution and roadmap to complete a thorough Risk Analysis. It is a complete application for analyzing, documenting, and implementing your computer and technical security environment.
RCAT™ is a secure web-based software that will assess your current environment and corresponding security level. It will provide you with a clear and concise plan towards reasonable and appropriate security steps. RCAT™ guides you through a series of questions and will help you successfully complete a comprehensive risk analysis.
What is Risk Analysis?
The objective of risk analysis is to "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". 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A)
Risk analysis is the first process in the area of risk management. The final HIPAA Security Rule establishes both risk analysis and risk management as required implementation specifications.
The HIPAA security risk analysis should be one of the first activities you do! Specifically, this means:
- Analyze the risks and vulnerabilities to the ePHI each covered entity creates, maintains, stores or transmits
- Understand the probability of these risks and vulnerabilities
- Assess measures already in place to reduce these risks
- Analyze its information and applications to find what is critical and what is not.
- Conduct a formal risk analysis that balances the cost of security against the expected value of losses.
- As a result of the analysis each entity must have a formal risk management process that reduces risk to an acceptable level.
Larger organizations or any business that feels they need a more detailed and complex risk analysis who have not yet purchased an HCAT license - we have developed an Institutional Risk Analysis tool specifically tailored to a larger healthcare environment. This tool will guide you through a series of steps and a set of questions that you will assist you in COMPLETING your risk analysis.
We have designed and constructed the RCAT™ software using the recommended National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) methodology as the core component. There are 9 steps
The Steps:
- Understanding your environment (System characterization)
- Vulnerability identification
- Threat identification
- Assessment of how you safeguard your systems now (Control analysis)
- Likelihood analysis (what is the likelihood of a threat happening?)
- Impact analysis (are there any systems that are "mission critical?)
- Risk determination (ranking these risks)
- Control Recommendations (what are the answers or solutions for your risks)
- Results Documentation (Documenting or reporting your results)
