A HIPAA Risk Analysis is a comprehensive evaluation of a covered entity or business associate’s enterprise to identify the electronic protected health information (ePHI) and the risks and vulnerabilities to the ePHI. The results should be utilized to make appropriate, enterprise-wide modifications to an ePHI system(s) and reduce risks to a reasonable and appropriate level.
A HIPAA Gap Analysis is a narrowed examination of a covered entity or business associate’s enterprise to assess whether certain controls or safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule have been implemented. This analysis provides a high-level overview of how an entity’s safeguards are implemented and shows what is incomplete or missing (i.e., spotting “gap”), but generally does not provide a comprehensive, enterprise-wide view of the security processes of covered entities and business associates.
A HIPAA Privacy and Breach Assessment is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s potential risk and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of both physical and electron personal health information (PHI).
A PCI Gap Analysis is the first step in the PCI compliance process. This analysis helps clients (known as merchants) identify, analyze, and document their current compliance status to the PCI-DSS standards. The results prepare the merchant to respond to their annual Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) or to prepare for an on-site audit by a PCI-DSS QSA.
Required by the PCI-DSS standards, PCI Risk Assessments will identify threats and vulnerabilities that could negatively impact the security of cardholder data.
