HIPAA protects patient health information in the US and applies to healthcare providers, health plans, clearinghouses — and their Business Associates, meaning any company that handles PHI on their behalf.
Security Rule 164.308(a)(5) explicitly mandates a security awareness and training programme for all workforce members, including management. Training must happen at hire and be refreshed regularly. The Privacy Rule adds equivalent requirements for PHI handling policies.
OCR cites inadequate training in almost every HIPAA settlement. Healthcare is the most ransomware-targeted sector globally — and 68% of ransomware starts with phishing that trained employees can stop.
Most compliance failures trace back to employees who weren’t trained. Here’s what’s at stake.
CyberSek is a security awareness training platform for healthcare organisations and Business Associates. We give your workforce the HIPAA knowledge they need, tracked to satisfy OCR documentation requirements. We are not a HIPAA compliance consultant.
