Instructions:
There are two parts to this Assignment. Each one will help you better understand how security
breaches are handled and give you the opportunity to create a security plan. Creating this
security plan will help you understand what is needed to protect data.
Part I
1. Search the internet for news about security breaches in healthcare and other industries
in the last three years. Suggested source for the latest breach information from the
Office of Civil Rights:
Source: HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Audit Program: United States
Department of Health & Human Services. Retrieved from
http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/enforcement/audit/index.html
2. Write a critical essay summarizing the two cases. In your summary, identify the principal
threats in each of these cases and what could have been done to minimize these
threats.
Part II
1. Using what you learned from Part I, create a security plan for a medium sized health
care facility. In your security plan, evaluate how you would approach security threats
from both inside and outside the organization. Be sure that you address the following
items in your security plan:
a. physical and administrative safeguards: employee education, health information
archival and retrieval systems, disaster recovery, storage media
b. access safeguards: authentication, password management
c. network safeguards: cloud computing, mobile devices to deliver health care,
