NIST issued a new draft publication on healthcare cybersecurity and implementing HIPAA Security Rule requirements.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued updated healthcare cybersecurity and HIPAA Security Rule guidance to aid organizations in safeguarding protected health information (PHI). NIST is seeking comments on the draft publication until September 21.
“One of our main goals is to help make the updated publication more of a resource guide,” Jeff Marron, a NIST cybersecurity specialist, said in an accompanying press release.
“The revision is more actionable so that health care organizations can improve their cybersecurity posture and comply with the Security Rule.”
