Make sure your organization performs proper Security Risk Analysis (SRA) to avoid penalties

SRAs are complicated and cumbersome, but they are a necessary step for both HIPAA and meaningful use. The HHS Office for Civil Rights has been handing out steep penalties for violations and is no longer just relying on complaints to review practices. Now they are moving toward a second round of HIPAA audits and meaningful use audits.

Practices stand to lose tens of thousands of dollars per provider if they do their SRAs incorrectly – not to mention the future breaches and reputation damage. From avoiding simple mistakes in wording that make your policies and procedures non-compliant to updating a piece of software, practices could avoid a $150K fine by merely performing their SRAs correctly.

How does your SRA look? Take just one hour to learn the keys to SRAs:

1. What is an SRA and how does it differ from a risk assessment?
2. Why SRAs are fundamental to HIPAA compliance.
3. More than just a technology issue what other surprising SRA secrets practices have learned.
4. Can you complete your SRA? If not who can help?
5. Signs of an improper SRA and what to do if you’re audited.
6. In the event of a breach, how can an SRA protect you?

Don’t let your practice make a costly mistake when performing your SRA.
