(prHWY.com) April 10, 2012 - Miami, FL -- Miami, FL: KRAA Security (http://kraasecurity.com/) provides a security audit of an organization's adherence to existing policies and industry best practices and identification of areas of weakness that need to be addressed to meet HIPAA Security Rule requirements. Using the RAZIENT compliance software, we streamline the assessment process to be cost efficient and effective in HIPAA compliance.

The HIPAA Security Rule introduces a variety of organizational and procedural changes that address the confidentiality, availability, integrity and overall security of Electronic Patient Health Information (eHPI) within the HealthCare and Medical Services industry. HIPAA Security Rule is designed to assist organizations in securing patient data. The Security Rule has many security aspects that require technological and procedural steps.

There are a number of Security Standards that assist in complying with the Security Rule requirements of HIPAA. There are administrative procedures, technical security checks, security services, and physical security processes that must be in place for compliance. Regulatory actions including fines, lawsuits and reputation risk are possible results of not complying with the HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

The KRAA Security HIPAA assessment is conducted in the following phases:
* External - Analyzing the security of the organization's perimeter from an external perspective
* Internal - Analyzing the security of the desktops, laptops, servers and storage as well as the existing security processes and procedures from an internal perspective.
* People and Process- Assess vulnerabilities associated with how employees conduct themselves, including contractors, visitors and unauthorized insiders. Review business processes for inherent weaknesses according to industry best practices.
* Physical - Assess the physical controls around information assets for potential vulnerabilities.
