With the expansion of HIPAA rules to encompass business associates, the regulatory landscape, and the growing concerns over healthcare-related security breaches, business associates face significant risks and exposure. If a covered entity enlists Securis360 to assist in its healthcare activities and functions, there must be a written business associate contract or another arrangement. This contract delineates the specific responsibilities assigned to the business associate and mandates compliance with the Rules to safeguard the privacy and security of protected health information.
