405(d) HICP Assessment

Demonstrate that federally recognized cybersecurity practices are in place, helping protect your organization from attack.

The Best Way to Assess and Demonstrate 405(d) HICP Adoption

 Adopting a recognized security framework, like 405(d) HICP, is no small task but doing so positions your organization favorably in the case of an Office for Civil Rights inquiry or investigation as well as questions from investors, cyber insurers, and other interested third parties. Most importantly, it drives better protection of your systems and data.

Still, it isn’t enough to put the framework in place; you need to have a way to identify gaps between your current adoption and the specifications of the framework. You also need a way to organize, document, and report on your progress. The Clearwater team can help. Our 405(d) HICP assessment includes an evaluation and documentation of how the organization is following the sub-practices of all ten cybersecurity practices as relevant for your organization’s size: small, medium or large so you can bridge any gaps and have easy reporting when you need it.

Protect your organization and position it for cybersecurity success.

405(d) HICP is among the recognized security practices of covered entities and business associates when determining fines and penalties related to a breach of protected health information.

This means that by demonstrating that recognized security practices have been in place for at least 12 months, healthcare organizations can position themselves to reduce fines and penalties, shorten or terminate audits, and mitigate remedies that would otherwise be involved in resolving potential violations of the HIPAA Security Rule.
