Baseline Assessments against Best Practices to Mitigate Threats

The 405(d) HICP framework offers control and best practices to address the leading threats to healthcare organizations while recognizing that organizations of different types and sizes have different needs and resources. Clearwater 405(d) HICP Assessment services give healthcare organizations the data to gauge their security practices and make necessary improvements.

Clearwater’s 405(d) HICP assessment leverages the power and efficiency of the software, combined with the knowledge and experience of our expert consultants, to deliver an evaluation and documentation of how the organization is following the HICP sub-practices that are relevant for the organization’s size. This creates an action plan on how to bridge gaps and deficiencies. It also provides responsible reporting within a cyber risk management program in the event of an Office for Civil Rights audit or investigation.
