Compliance Auditing

HIPAA Compliance Audit

Why It's Important
HIPAA is an acronym for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It is a federal law that has been amended to the Internal Revenue Code of 1996. It was designed to improve portability and continuity of health insurance coverage in the group and individual markets.

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), USA is responsible for the management for enforcing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Rule. According to Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) there is no organization which can certify Individuals as HIPAA Certified, or certify Organizations or their products as HIPAA Certified or certify that they are Official HIPPA Certified.

HIPAA Compliance required an organization to undergo regular periodic evaluation of its Technical and Non-Technical activities and functions, to ensure that the Security Policies and Procedures are in compliance with the required Security Requirements.
