Cybernance launches automation for HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk
AUSTIN, March 8, 2016 – Cybernance has launched a major update of its cybersecurity governance platform to fully support the recently announced HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk. Organizations seeking compliance with both NIST and HIPAA standards can now conduct automated assessments.
“We designed and released a generalized compliance console last year,” said Charles Leonard, vice president of product management at Cybernance. “When DHHS delivered the HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk, we were able to support it in its entirety.”
The HIPAA Security Rule Crosswalk maps each administrative, physical and technical safeguard standard and implementation specification in the HIPAA Security Rule to a relevant NIST Cybersecurity Framework subcategory. “Enabling directors to oversee cyber risk mitigation requires bridging the communication gap between them, the CEO, the security staff, and vendors who implement cybersecurity measures,” said Mike Shultz, co-founder and CEO of Cybernance. “Integrating HIPAA extends that same transparency to compliance with healthcare standards.”
By fostering and archiving communication with cybersecurity management and indemnifying directors against litigation expenses, the standards-based solution protects corporate board members and executive management from significant personal liability after a breach.
