Helping your businesses fulfill GDPR requirements and empower a sustainable commitment to continuous compliance.
- Every office that accepts Medicare or Medicaid WILL be audited regularly
- Every business associate and vendor with whom your office works is obligated to follow HIPAA guidelines too, since they have access to your patient information.
- Your office has other duties on which to focus. More of these other tasks will get neglected and/or require working overtime to complete the tasks.
- EMR Software does not make an office HIPAA Compliant
- Let us help you focus on the things you do best — caring for patients.
Obligations Under GDPR
At its core, The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes data protection as a fundamental human right and outlines the new rules in the shape of seven principles.
You must be compliant if:
- Your company processes personal data as part of the activities of one of its branches established in the EU, regardless of where the data is processed.
- You are a business established outside the EU offering goods/services (paid or for free) or monitoring the behavior of individuals in the EU.
The Seven Principles of GDPR
- Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
- Purpose limitation
- Data minimization
- Accuracy
- Storage Limitation
- Integrity and confidentiality
- Accountability
Pitfalls of Non-Compliance
GDPR compliance is a legal requirement, not a choice. Businesses found guilty of non-compliance can get hit with hefty fines or be forced to endure a suspension from data processing altogether.
- Vulnerability to cyberattacks or data breaches
- Remediation costs
- Breach notification costs
- Civil litigation
- Lasting or irreparable reputational damage
