Accountability Act (HIPAA) - The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, commonly known as HIPAA, is a series of regulatory standards that outline the lawful use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI). HIPAA compliance is regulated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). What is Protected Health Information? Protected health information (PHI) is any demographic information that can be used to identify a patient or client of a HIPAA-beholden entity. Common examples of PHI include names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, medical records, financial information, and full facial photos to name a few. PHI transmitted, stored, or accessed electronically also falls under HIPAA regulatory standards and is known as electronic protected health information, or ePHI. ePHI is regulated by the HIPAA Security Rule, which was an addendum to HIPAA regulation enacted to account for changes in medical technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342490028-UBD2VYM8GWQMMXZQTLRT/Protect+Small+Business+Data+%2827%29.png Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - Who needs to be HIPAA compliant? HIPAA regulation identifies two types of organizations that must be HIPAA compliant. Covered Entities: A covered entity is defined by HIPAA regulation as any organization that collects, creates, or transmits PHI electronically. Health care organizations that are considered covered entities include health care providers, health care clearinghouses, and health insurance providers. Business Associates: A business associate is defined by HIPAA regulation as any organization that encounters PHI in any way over the course of work that it has been contracted to perform on behalf of a covered entity. There are many, many examples of business associates because of the wide scope of service providers that may handle, transmit, or process PHI. Common examples of business associates affected by HIPAA rules include: billing companies, practice management firms, third-party consultants, EHR platforms, MSPs, IT providers, faxing companies, shredding companies, physical storage providers, cloud storage providers, email hosting services, attorneys, accountants, and many more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342598119-DUV287AA39NFYN9FZCKK/Protect+Small+Business+Data+%286%29.png Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - What are the HIPAA Rules? HIPAA regulation is made up of a number of different HIPAA Rules. The HIPAA Rules were all passed in the 20+ years that have come and gone since HIPAA was first enacted in 1996. The HIPAA Rules that you should be aware of include: HIPAA Privacy Rule: The HIPAA Privacy Rule sets national standards for patients’ rights to PHI. The HIPAA Privacy Rule only applies to covered entities, not business associates. Some of the standards outlined by the HIPAA Privacy Rule include: patients’ rights to access PHI, health care providers’ rights to deny access to PHI, the contents of Use and Disclosure HIPAA release forms and Notices of Privacy Practices, and more. The regulatory standards must be documented in the organization’s HIPAA Policies and Procedures. All employees must be trained on these Policies and Procedures annually, with documented attestation. HIPAA Security Rule: The HIPAA Security Rule sets national standards for the secure maintenance, transmission, and handling of ePHI. The HIPAA Security Rule applies to both covered entities and business associates because of the potential sharing of ePHI. The Security Rule outlines standards for the integrity and safety of ePHI, including physical, administrative, and technical safeguards that must be in place in any health care organization. Specifics of the regulation must be documented in the organization’s HIPAA Policies and Procedures. Staff must be trained on these Policies and Procedures annually, with documented attestation. HIPAA Breach Notification Rule: The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule is a set of standards that covered entities and business associates must follow in the event of a data breach containing PHI or ePHI. The Rule lays out different requirements for breach reporting depending on the scope and size. Organizations are required to report all breaches, regardless of size to HHS OCR, but the specific protocols for reporting change depending on the type of breach. The specifics of the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule are outlined in the sections below. HIPAA Omnibus Rule: The HIPAA Omnibus Rule is an addendum to HIPAA regulation that was enacted in order to apply HIPAA to business associates, in addition to covered entities. The HIPAA Omnibus Rule mandates that business associates must be HIPAA compliant, and also outlines the rules surrounding Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). Business Associate Agreements are contracts that must be executed between a covered entity and business associate–or between two business associates–before ANY PHI or ePHI can be transferred or shared. The details regarding BAAs are outlined in more depth in the sections below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342622504-091UF0PRYGY6FUX0VRWN/penelty.png Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) - What are the HIPAA Penalties for a breach? Tier 1: A violation that the covered entity was unaware of and could not have realistically avoided, had a reasonable amount of care had been taken to abide by HIPAA Rules. Minimum fine of $100 per violation up to $50,000 Tier 2: A violation that the covered entity should have been aware of but could not have avoided even with a reasonable amount of care. (but falling short of willful neglect of HIPAA Rules). Minimum fine of $1,000 per violation up to $50,000 Tier 3: A violation suffered as a direct result of “willful neglect” of HIPAA Rules, in cases where an attempt has been made to correct the violation. Minimum fine of $10,000 per violation up to $50,000 Tier 4: A violation of HIPAA Rules constituting willful neglect, where no attempt has been made to correct the violation.

R. 5069 amended the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to protect investors by expanding the mandated internal controls reports and disclosures to include cybersecurity systems and risks of publicly traded companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) act of 2002 is a law passed by U.S Congress to protect investors from financial scams. The SOX framework outlines best security practices for avoiding fraudulent financial transactions through a system of internal checks. Recently, SOX has evolved into more than just a framework for ensuring financial record accuracy. It now includes cybersecurity components to ensure financial institutions address common cybersecurity risks that could impact financial activity. An example of such a cyber threat is phishing attacks. During these attacks, hackers commonly pose as CEOs and CFOs to convince staff to initiate fraudulent transactions. SOX compliance now also supports the implementation of security controls across resources and IT infrastructures housing financial data. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342151515-J0OEGOSMXK6SWTYMP2YM/Protect+Small+Business+Data+%2827%29.png Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) - Is Complying with SOX Mandatory? SOX compliance is mandatory for all public companies, Because SOX shares common security controls with the NIST, SOX compliance can be supported with the following controls from the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF): • Deploy risk assessments - Risk assessments are one of the best ways of discovering deficiencies in regulatory compliance, both internally and for each third-party vendor. • Protect critical assets - Assets housing sensitive information critical to business continuity require significant protection against cybercriminals. This process begins by identifying all critical assets and quantifying the business impact if they're compromised. • Establish a regular auditing schedule - To prove SOX compliance, two yearly audits are required - one by an external independent auditing body and another by the organization - to highlight internal controls and management's contributions to supporting continuous improvement in financial data protection. • Harmonize cybersecurity initiatives - To support rapid security posture improvements, governance is required to harmonize security efforts throughout the organization. Deep attack surface visibility is key to achieving this. • Ensure business continuity - Establish policies demonstrating business continuity in the event of a cyberattack. This can be achieved with an Incident Response Plan (IRP). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644341926589-EP64M7QS6LJH10YJNQBK/penelty.png Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) - What are the penalties for not complying with SOX? The penalties for not complying with SOX include: Public stock exchange delisting Loss of Officers Liability Insurance (D&O) Removal of directors Management is also penalized, with the severity increasing when fraud is intentional. If a CEO of CFO intentionally certifies a periodic report that doesn't comply with SOX: They could be imprisoned for up to 10 years. They could be fined up to $1 million. If a CEO of CFO intentionally falsifies certification: They could be imprisoned for up to 20 years. They could be fined up to $5 million. https://www.cybersecurity4biz.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-15

After the attorney general notifies a person in writing, no action will be brought against the violator if the violation has been cured. What differs is that the entity must also provide the attorney general with a written statement that they have: Cured the violation. Notified the consumer their privacy violation was addressed (if their contact information was made available). Made changes to internal policies, if necessary, to ensure the violation won’t be repeated. Furthermore, the cure period does not sunset, as is the case with other laws—businesses subject to the TDPSA will enjoy a 30-day cure period in perpetuity. If an entity does not remediate the violation, the attorney general can issue a $7,500 penalty for each violation. Finally, there is no private right of action, which means private citizens cannot bring action against those who violate the law. https://www.cybersecurity4biz.com/tennessee-information-protection-act-tipa daily 0.75 2024-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/f407cb5d-99c3-4433-90a7-997547103710/tennessee_state_image.png Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) - Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) TIPA defines “personal information” as information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable natural person.2 Similar to other state privacy laws, TIPA establishes a category of “sensitive data” as personal information that includes: (1) personal information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status; (2) the processing of genetic or biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person; (3) the personal information collected from a known child (e.g., a natural person under 13 years of age); or (4) precise geolocation data (e.g., information derived from technology, including, but not limited to, global positioning system level latitude and longitude coordinates or other mechanisms, that directly identifies the specific location of a natural person with precision and accuracy within a radius of 1,750 ft.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342151515-J0OEGOSMXK6SWTYMP2YM/Protect+Small+Business+Data+%2827%29.png Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) - Is Complying with TIPA Mandatory? The Tennessee law governs the activities of “controllers”—those determining the purpose and means of processing personal data—and “processors”—those who process the personal data on the controller’s behalf. To be applicable, TIPA requires a $25 million annual revenue threshold akin to that of the UCPA. Unless the business is deriving more than 50% of its gross annual revenue from the sale of personal information and controls or processes the information of at least 25,000 Tennessee consumers, TIPA only applies if the business controls or processes the personal information of 175,000 Tennessee consumers—the highest state resident threshold of any enacted state privacy law to date. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644341926589-EP64M7QS6LJH10YJNQBK/penelty.png Tennessee Information Protection Act (TIPA) - What are the penalties for not complying with TIPA?

This new law defines different types of "personal information" and lays out the rights employees have when it comes to collection and use as well as correction and deletion of their data. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3c151191bac64eb9e002e5/1644342151515-J0OEGOSMXK6SWTYMP2YM/Protect+Small+Business+Data+%2827%29.png California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) - Is Complying with CPRA Mandatory?
