3 Meeting the Challenge of HIPAA Protecting information, especially sensitive personal data such as that covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), has become the single most significant challenge facing security and compliance professionals. The risks to data have grown with both the technical expertise of the attackers and the market demand for stolen information. While security teams scramble to respond, they do so in an environment where the pressure to make processes more efficient continues to dominate strategic planning, and the penalties for breaches are ever more stringent. While the information security demands of HIPAA are broad and cover everything from policy to physical access controls, many organizations are finding that the most difficult demands are very much in line with other compliance mandates. These demands are centered on reducing risks associated with controlling who has access to information; monitoring the activities of users especially privileged users; and securely managing privileges to reduce risk. These areas provide the greatest, most direct information security benefits if they are addressed correctly. By the same token, however, they also represent the greatest risks if improperly addressed or worse, ignored altogether. Key Areas of Risk The three key areas of risk to the security and privacy of electronic protected health information (EPHI) are: Controlling access to information in a robust and well-managed way Monitoring the activity of users Managing who has access to that information and the systems that support it By utilizing an integrated and secure approach to these three areas, security teams can most directly reduce the risk of breach and the impact of audits. Controlling Access Access control is the most fundamental aspect of security and the ability of any organization to secure EPHI. Access control must be implemented in such a way as to enable users to have access to the information they need but to restrict them from overly broad access or access for a period of time that extends beyond that which is necessary. The problem that many organizations face, however, is that identifying who has access to systems containing sensitive information is often difficult. Additionally, over time, users often acquire access rights that are far in excess of those needed for their current role. Likewise, one area of concern for many businesses is the reliable de-provisioning of access as employees leave the organization. Studies indicate that this is an area that often leaves organizations open to attack from former employees or contractors who retain access, in some cases, for months after they no longer need it. Security and HIPAA Compliance 3
4 Without clearly defined processes and communication channels to manage and report on user access, organizations will find that more people have access to critical information than is necessary. What is needed is the ability to periodically and automatically report on and review who has access to systems and what level of access they have. As a result, business stakeholders, administrators, and security teams can ensure that: The minimum level of access is enforced. Inappropriate access to systems and resources is removed. Inactive or stale accounts are deleted. Secure de-provisioning is enforced. Monitoring Users While managing access is important, protecting information, especially the highly sensitive information covered under HIPAA, relies on having visibility into the activity of users, particularly privileged users. Real-time monitoring of users has presented significant challenges in the past, especially around system performance and event detection. As a result, many organizations have adopted less complete solutions that rely on simply tracking changes to files on a periodic basis. The problem with this approach is that it misses the most vital information: Who made the change? What was changed within the file? Was this change a managed change? Who viewed the critical information or copied the information? In order to protect information from unauthorized access and disclosure, what is needed is the ability to monitor privileged-user activity for files, systems, and even such essential infrastructure components as Active Directory. Managing Privileges Monitoring privileged users is one aspect of reducing the risk to protected health information. Every bit as important, though, is the ability to reduce the number of users who have privileges. By implementing restrictions on how privileges are granted, and by delegating only those privileges essential to perform tasks, it is possible to significantly reduce the scope of risk to data, and the probability of malicious or accidental breach. Secure privileged delegation is the best approach to limiting who has access to systems and information because it defines and grants only those privileges essential to any task. An even more secure approach is to grant those privileges only for the specific time required to perform the task. While this just-in-time delegation' has been difficult to achieve in the past, the combination of secure privilege management tools and process automation technology provides the benefits of both reduced risk and reduced workload associated with user and privilege management. 4 White Paper
5 Solutions for Meeting the Challenge of HIPAA NetIQ provides a number of well-integrated solutions that help reduce risks to sensitive healthcare information, and streamline and simplify the work of meeting and reporting on compliance to HIPAA. These tools include: NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager TM provides configuration assessment against best practices and out-of-the-box compliance checks for standards such as HIPAA. It also enables full-user entitlement reporting to ensure that only those users who require access to systems have it. NetIQ Security Manager TM provides security event detection, correlation and analysis. The ability of NetIQ Security Manager to detect activity on critical hosts provides a singularly powerful approach to securing protected information and detecting unmanaged activity, as well as producing analysis and reports to document and support compliance. NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator TM enables secure delegation of privileges to reduce the risk from privileged-user activity, one of the most significant sources of risk to protected information NetIQ Change Guardian TM enables real-time detection of changes to critical systems and infrastructure, integrated with security management tools such as NetIQ Security Manager.

7 Conclusion Reducing the impact of compliance mandates is a significant challenge that security teams must meet if they are to be effective in focusing their efforts on critical tasks such as securing sensitive information. At the same time, good security will assist them in meeting those compliance mandates. As mentioned in the HIPAA Security Rule itself: It should be noted that the implementation of reasonable and appropriate security measures also supports compliance with the privacy standards, just as lack of adequate security can increase the risk of violations of standards. By focusing efforts in the key areas of controlling access, monitoring privileged users, and managing privilege delegation, the net risk to the organization and sensitive health information can be reduced, which in turn eases compliance with standards such as HIPAA. NetIQ provides a range of solutions to help security teams manage these risks, to provide greater visibility to risk, and to enable more streamlined compliance with standards like HIPAA.
