If an attacker compromised one device on your network today, how far could they go?

Network segmentation is designed to limit the damage, and it’s receiving new attention in the proposed HIPAA Security Rule.

Our latest blog explains why segmentation matters, what it means for ePHI, and where healthcare organizations should start.

Is your network ready?

15 days. That could become the compliance clock for addressing critical security risks under the proposed HIPAA Security Rule changes.

If finalized as proposed, covered entities and business associates would need documented patch management procedures, with critical risks generally remediated within 15 days and high risks within 30 days.

But patch management isn’t just a future concern. Unpatched software already creates risks to electronic protected health information (ePHI) that organizations must address through their current HIPAA risk analysis.

Is your organization prepared to identify, prioritize, install, verify, and document security updates?

Would your current encryption practices hold up under the proposed HIPAA Security Rule changes?

That’s a question worth answering before the rule is finalized.

Encryption of electronic protected health information (ePHI) could become required, both while the data is stored and while it’s being transmitted. That means taking a closer look at every device, application, backup, and communication method that touches patient data.

The rule isn’t final yet, but encryption updates can take time, planning, and budget. Finding your gaps now can help you avoid a rushed and expensive compliance project later.

Our latest blog breaks down what’s being proposed and what you can start reviewing now:

A ransomware attack is expensive. Discovering your HIPAA compliance gaps afterward can make it even more costly.

In a recent ransomware settlement, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, included a $450,000 payment and a two-year corrective action plan.

The investigation identified potential failures that existed before the attack, including:
• No accurate and thorough HIPAA risk analysis
• Inadequate policies and procedures

Most organizations can’t afford the disruption of an attack, the cost of recovery, and the consequences of being unprepared.

Learn how HIPAA Secure Now can help your organization prepare before an incident puts those gaps under a microscope:

You don’t need to wait for the final HIPAA Security Rule to take a meaningful step forward.

👉 Start by answering a basic but critical question: Do you know everywhere your organization’s electronic protected health information (ePHI) lives, and everyone who can access it?

A current asset inventory helps you identify the devices, applications, vendors, network components, data flows, and user access points that should be considered in your risk analysis.

The proposed rule is not final, but the need for better visibility already exists.

Learn why building or updating your asset inventory now can strengthen your security and make future compliance work more manageable:

A Security Risk Assessment (SRA) shouldn’t be something you complete, file away, and forget.

Done well, an SRA gives healthcare leaders a clearer picture of:

▶️ Where sensitive patient data lives
▶️ How it moves through the organization
▶️ Who can access it
▶️ Where vulnerabilities may exist
▶️ Which risks need attention first

That visibility turns the SRA from a compliance exercise into a practical roadmap, one that can help guide security investments, strengthen policies and procedures, protect patient trust, and prepare your organization for greater regulatory scrutiny.

Learn why the SRA is one of the most important steps toward stronger, more manageable HIPAA compliance:

The proposed HIPAA Security Rule changes could significantly raise the bar for healthcare cybersecurity.

Mandatory MFA. Encryption. Asset inventories. Risk analysis. Vulnerability testing. Stronger documentation.

For healthcare practices and the vendors that support them, the time to understand what may be coming is now, not after the rule is finalized.
