One major part of complying with HIPAA is conducting a risk assessment, and a new release from federal agencies gives you a fresh tool to perform an internal security risk assessment (SRA).
On June 14, OCR announced version 3.3 of the HHS Security Risk Assessment Tool. According to OCR officials, this tool is designed to aid small and medium providers in their efforts to assess security risks. The revamped tool contains a slate of new features, including Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) references, file association in Microsoft Windows, improved reports, and other bug fixes and stability improvements.
