OCR pushed the final HIPAA Security Rule to July 2027, changing it from "final rule stage" to "long-term action." For an industry bracing for a tighter deadline, that's an easy excuse to shelve the project plan.

At LuxSci, we think that would be a mistake.

The current rule already requires you to address encryption. "Addressable" has never meant "optional" — you must implement it, implement an equivalent alternative, or document why neither is reasonable. OCR's enforcement authority applies today.

Breach costs haven't waited for the rule either. The average healthcare breach now costs $7.42M, and email remains the #1 attack vector into healthcare organizations.

OCR hasn't abandoned the encryption mandate — organizations that build toward it now will be ahead regardless of when it lands.

Get the full update on the new HIPAA Security Rule in our new Definitive Guide, and what steps you should take today to be ready for the changes coming next year.

Is OCR Already Enforcing Encryption Under the New HIPAA Security Rule?

OCR is signaling where HIPAA security enforcement is headed next — and email encryption is at the center of it.

While the proposed HIPAA Security Rule updates are expected to be announced this month, OCR investigations and settlements have already been increasingly focused on:

➡️ Encryption enforcement
➡️ MFA and phishing-resistant authentication
➡️ Audit logging and monitoring
➡️ Documented security programs
➡️ Proof that safeguards are operational and effective

For healthcare organizations, email remains one of the largest cybersecurity risks — and one of the biggest compliance exposures when PHI is involved.

In our latest blog post, we explore why healthcare organizations should stop viewing email security as a compliance checklist and start treating it as a strategic cybersecurity priority.

Traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) is no longer enough.

With MFA-evasion techniques like token replay, consent phishing, and session hijacking becoming more common, many security experts now argue that legacy MFA alone no longer meets the HIPAA bar for “reasonable security.”

For healthcare organizations handling sensitive data and protected health information (PHI), this shift has serious implications.

In our latest article, we explore:

➡️ Why traditional MFA controls are increasingly vulnerable
➡️ How auditors are raising expectations for authentication
➡️ Phishing-resistant authentication and conditional access
➡️ How healthcare IT and security teams can stay ahead
