Our HIPAA Security policies are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all protected health information (PHI) that our company handles. Here’s a detailed overview of our HIPAA Security practices.
Physical Security
USHCBS enforces robust physical security measures to protect PHI, including 24/7 manned security
Continuous CCTV surveillance, biometric and facial authentication for facility access and restricted access to sensitive areas
Access Control
System access is controlled via password-protected login IDs, ensuring that only authorized users can access PHI
Access levels are carefully managed to ensure that employees can only access the information necessary for their roles
Technical Safeguards
Advanced firewalls, cybersecurity software, and network filters are deployed to protect against unauthorized access, breaches, and other cyber threats
All data is encrypted, both in transit and at rest, using highly secure 256-bit SSL encryption. Email attachments are also cross-checked for encryption before being sent
Daily data backups are performed with end-to-end encryption to ensure data availability and integrity in the event of a disaster or system failure
