Required HIPAA Controls
These HIPAA controls are firm. The government does not allow any way to avoid them. Non-compliance with HIPAA can result in penalties ranging between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Fines increase with amount about patience, and the severity of negligence. Major violations can result in jail time. The fines and charges are broken down into two major categories: Reasonable Cause and Willful Neglect. Reasonable cause penalties range from anywhere between $100 to $50,000. Willful Neglect penalties range from $10,000 to $50,000 and can result in criminal charges.
Required HIPAA Risk Analysis
The very first requirement in the HIPAA Security Rule. HIPAA doesn’t say much but the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) offers guidance for smaller practices and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a free 95-page guide.
Beware… the Meaningful Use Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) says, “It is possible for small practices to do risk analysis themselves using self-help tools. However, doing a thorough and professional risk analysis that will stand up to a compliance review will require expert knowledge that could be obtained through services of an experienced outside professional.” Most HIPAA fines are based on a missing, old, or incomplete Risk Analysis. If you want to pass an audit, think twice about doing this yourself.
Payment Card Industry Compliance
Card holder data compliance is a bigger issue than ever before. Minimize your scope and reduce your risks and liabilities that could cost you your business. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) applies to companies of any size that accept card payments. Non-PCI compliant merchants and payment processors can face fines from $5,000 to $500,000.
Even more devastating, non-compliant merchants can have their ability to accept cards fully revoked, often considered a “virtual death sentence” for businesses.
A data breach doesn’t just result in fines, it can also result in a damaged reputation. Research shows that customers are 69% less likely to conduct business with a breached entity. The cost of a data breach far surpasses that of a security checkup. We’re here to help keep your business up and running.
