Healthcare providers that rely on internal IT infrastructure to maintain the patient information must comply with HIPAA rules. The rules require the implementation of physical and technological safeguards to protect the security of the stored health information.
Network Computer Pros plays an important role in helping you achieve HIPAA compliance and maintain the integrity of your IT infrastructure. Figuring out how to comply doesn’t have to be complex and expensive. We’re already familiar with the standards and our complete managed services model enables us to quickly identify any areas of your IT network that are not yet up to standard.
To assess your level of current compliance, we’ll conduct a non-intrusive network audit. The audit focuses on the seven key areas listed below, and is a great way to establish a baseline for making improvements.
These seven areas (known as SAS70) have been defined by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
