Health Care Information Security: Risk, Regulation & Response
perspectives from Providence Health & Services

  • Event Date:
  • Event Time: Noon Central

While evolving government security regulations drive much of the security analysis and IT work within health care organizations, regulatory compliance is just a piece of the overall health care cyber risk landscape. Many otherwise “compliant” health care organizations find themselves victims of data security breaches they didn’t see coming. A robust risk management program can bolster an organization’s ability to maintain and demonstrate regulatory compliance while simultaneously reducing the potential for and the impact of health care data breaches and other security incidents.

Learn how being the first subject of a Health & Human Services (HHS) resolution agreement and corrective action plan under HIPAA resulted in Providence Health & Services incorporating an internal incident response with a broad view of the external threat landscape into an information security program. The program efficiently provides the senior leadership team with its most acute information need today: timely and accurate risk assessments to effectively navigate the evolving government regulatory enforcement and real-world threat landscapes.

What You Will Learn:

  • Why regulatory compliance alone is insufficient to manage security risk
  • How and where to find valuable information to inform security decisions for your organization
  • How to use your internal incident information to inform your information security roadmap
