• • Technical safeguards: These safeguards are designed to protect PHI from unauthorized electronic access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction. They include things like encryption, access controls, and audit logs.

  • Monitoring and assessment: The agency must monitor and assess its security controls on an ongoing basis.
  • Remediation: The agency must remediate any security weaknesses that are identified.
• Scope of the work I will perform to meet Health Coverage Associates’ requests: I will work with Health Coverage Associates to develop a security management plan that meets the requirements of HIPAA and FISMA. The plan will address the following:
  • The risks to PHI
  • The security controls that will be implemented to mitigate those risks
  • The security awareness and training that will be provided to employees
  • The monitoring and assessment of the security controls
  • The remediation of any security weaknesses that are identified

I will also work with Health Coverage Associates to implement the security plan and to monitor its effectiveness. I will also provide guidance and support to Health Coverage Associates on security matters.
