About HIPAA
HIPAA, enacted in 1996, mandates that companies take prudent steps to protect the medical information they collect and retain from patients. The law affects insurers, hospitals, laboratories, doctor's offices and the pharmaceutical industry. HIPAA also applies to employers who keep employee health data for insurance purposes.
The primary vulnerability management goals of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act are to protect information systems housing PHI from intrusion and to document risk analysis and risk management programs.
