Why it’s crucial to prioritize HIPAA compliance in 2024

Healthcare organizations can mitigate costly data breaches with HIPAA compliance and other security measures. Implementing multi-factor authentication and regular security training; conducting regular audits; extending compliance to incorporate PCI DSS; investing in cyber insurance; running annual assessments; and maintaining up-to-date systems and patches can help. A healthcare organization with robust cybersecurity infrastructure not only prevents financial penalties, but also improves patient trust and care. Healthcare providers are increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, underscoring the importance of these measures.
