Frequently Asked Questions

See our frequently asked cyber security questions below for help and advice.

Why is being HIPAA compliant important for my organisation?

HIPAA compliance refers to the adherence to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, which are designed to protect sensitive patient health information. It is essential for healthcare organisations, as it demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding patient data, avoiding costly penalties, and maintaining trust with patients.

Who needs to be HIPAA compliant?

There are 3 groups that must be HIPAA compliant:

  1. Covered Entities, 
  2. Business Associates, and 
  3. Business Associate Subcontractors

All of these groups handle PHI on a regular basis and must be equipped to safeguard this sensitive information, though not mandatory for them to get compliant unless your business operates in North America.

Covered Entities are defined as healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses. Business Associates are the providers that support Covered Entities, usually IT, lawyers, third party administrators, etc. Business Associate Subcontractors are groups that support Business Associates. For example, a physician practice has hired an IT provider and the IT provider bundles services for the practice. In order to do this, the IT provider will contract with a 3rd party for things like cloud backups. In this case, the Physician would have a BA Agreement with the IT provider, and the IT provider would have BA Subcontractor agreements with their 3rd parties.

Does AMARU offer support after getting HIPAA compliant?

AMARU provides ongoing support for Australia and New Zealand businesses that wish to continue maintaining and improving the HIPAA compliance, ensuring long-term adherence to evolving regulations and best practices and ultimately ensure protection of patient data.
