Our in-house HIPAA compliance experts have created nine new policy templates related to the Security Rule, now available in your HIPAAtrek account in the policy module. 

These templates reflect cybersecurity best practices and the new requirements being enforced under regulatory discretion. Due to this enhanced enforcement, we recommend that our clients finalize and follow these policy templates starting now.  

The new policy templates are: 

• Compliance Audit 
• Evaluation 
• Mechanism to Authenticate ePHI 
• Patch Management 
• Privacy and Security Training 
• Risk Management 
• Security Risk Analysis 
• Technology Asset Inventory and Network Map 
• Vulnerability Management 

These policy templates are designed to replace the following, which we recommend archiving as you finalize the replacements: 

• Security Awareness and Training 
• Privacy Awareness and Training  
• Security Management Process 

Policy review meetings will be available for interested clients to review these templates with our team. Please check your email for more information about these sessions.
