Resource Overview

Health Centers are made up of many different levels of IT Security & Privacy expertise, both in terms of staff skills and organizational maturity. Resources are needed that help guide both beginners and more advanced staff and leadership to understanding how to best manage security and privacy risk management at their health center.

The overall objective is to create a privacy & security workbook tailored specifically to Health Centers that will provide them with implementable strategies for increasing their risk management skills including sections focused on:

  • Security Risk Pre-Assessment
  • Assessment of Security Risk 
  • Security Risk Mitigation
  • Ongoing Security Risk Management

A Guide to Essential Cybersecurity Tasks for Health Centers

For health centers with limited resources, developed in June 2023

In an increasingly connected healthcare landscape, health centers face a dual challenge: the rising tide of cyber threats and the need to comply with stringent data protection regulations, all while managing limited resources. The ever-evolving nature of cyberattacks and the complexity of compliance requirements make it essential for health centers to prioritize cybersecurity tasks effectively.

Many Health Center leaders, IT Managers, and Compliance Directors are trying to ensure that they are properly addressing the ongoing tasks related to compliance and security. The guide, available for download below, provides the baseline of day-to-day tasks that health center IT and Compliance staff should consider to protect their systems and comply with regulatory requirements. References and recommended frequency for each task are included as well.
