What is a HIPAA Security Audit?

A HIPAA Security Audit is a comprehensive assessment of an organization’s compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule, which defines standards for safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI). The audit examines vulnerabilities, evaluates implemented security measures, and ensures that healthcare entities maintain the required administrative, technical, and physical protections. The goal is to identify weaknesses, validate security controls, and ensure continuous compliance while reducing risks to sensitive patient data.
