Study Notes

Data security involves safeguarding data and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction.
Security programs aim to protect data privacy, control access, maintain data integrity, ensure data availability, and implement backup policies.
Threats to data security can be internal (from within an organization) or external (from outside the organization), caused by people or environmental/hardware/software factors.
Security measures include administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, along with organizational requirements, policies, and documentation like HIPAA Security Rule.
The HIPAA Security Rule covers administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, technical safeguards, organizational requirements, policies and procedures, and documentation requirements.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and HITECH bring changes like breach notification requirements for unsecured ePHI and the need for encryption to secure ePHI.
Strategies to minimize security threats involve having a Chief Security Officer, security committees, risk assessments, incident detection/response plans, and a comprehensive security program.
The security program should focus on employee awareness, risk management, access safeguards, physical safeguards, software application safeguards, network safeguards, disaster planning/recovery, and data quality control processes.
