Healthcare businesses that work with SMS-ITC gain a HIPAA Business Associate who understands what the Security Rule actually requires from an IT infrastructure and support standpoint, not just what the documentation says.
HIPAA's Security Rule requires covered entities to implement technical safeguards including access controls, audit controls, transmission security, and integrity controls for systems containing electronic protected health information (ePHI). It also requires that Business Associates implement equivalent protections and execute signed BAAs before any access to ePHI occurs.
For dental practices, medical groups, mental health providers, and other healthcare organizations in Greater Atlanta, having an IT partner who can demonstrate HIPAA compliance in their own practices, and help clients maintain theirs, is a material risk reduction measure that affects both regulatory exposure and cyber insurance eligibility.
SMS-ITC provides HIPAA-compliant managed IT and cybersecurity services to healthcare businesses throughout the Lawrenceville and greater Atlanta area. We document, we sign BAAs, and we know what OCR auditors look for.
