Episode 38 — HIPAA Security Rule: Administrative, Physical, Technical Safeguards

Complementing the Privacy Rule, the HIPAA Security Rule sets standards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). This episode breaks down its three safeguard categories: administrative, physical, and technical. Administrative safeguards include policies, risk analyses, and workforce training. Physical safeguards address facility access and workstation security. Technical safeguards cover encryption, access controls, and audit logs.

By understanding these safeguards, you’ll be prepared for exam questions that test not only definitions but also the application of safeguards to real-world scenarios. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
