This policy (“Policy”) covers the entirety of the Security Rule ("Rule"), including the Administrative Safeguards, the Technical Safeguards, and the Physical Safeguards. Instead of having a separate policy for each section of the Rule, with repeated and unnecessary boilerplate in each, we chose to provide a comprehensive single document view of the Rule from a policy perspective. This Policy is one of a number of templates included in our Security Rule Checklist as discussed below.
This Policy was derived from, and included in, our Security Rule Checklist (“SRCL”) which is sold separately. The objectives of our SRCL are to explain the Security Rule in simple yet comprehensive terms, and provide you with model policies (including this one), processes, and tracking mechanisms that help you comply with the Rule. Our SRCL helps you put workable policies and procedures in place that conform to the HITECH Act, the Omnibus Rule, and the Security Rule, as best as practicable for your organization.

As a Healthcare Technology vendor we found ourselves with little direction attempting to learn and comply with HIPAA and HITECH regulations. The overhead of learning and implementing needed policies and procedures was so detrimental to our internal efficiency and service delivery that we had to discontinue service for a major share of our client base just to concentrate on HIPAA regulations. We have since found the HIPAA Survival Guide and signed up for their Subscription Plan. With the help and guidance provided by HSG, we have now returned our focus to what we do best. In the past 6 months our company has increased knowledge, literature, and direction as well as record revenue by 421%. Thank You HSG, we couldn’t have done it without you!” -Wiles Tech See More Testimonials...
