With the passing of the HITECH Act in 2009 compliance with the final HIPAA Omnibus Rule is mandated for covered entities and most importantly their third-party vendors or business associates. Failure to comply can lead to severe legal difficulties for healthcare organizations and their business associates. Therefore, it is vital that these organizations address security and privacy control effectiveness and have a process for continually monitoring and improving their overall security posture.
