2 Conflict of Interest Disclosure Adam H. Greene, JD, MPH & Michael Mac McMillan Have no real or apparent conflicts of interest to report HIMSS 2
3 Learning Objectives Discuss the most prevalent data security risks facing healthcare today Identify lessons learned from 2010 security breaches Identify best practices and practical strategies for privacy and security management 3
4 Threats to Healthcare Data Healthcare entities have data of considerable value Increased automation and sharing have increased and introduced new risks Healthcare now has a place at Hacker conferences like DefCon and Black Hat Patient Safety, not privacy, is the new driver in healthcare data security 4
5 Threats by Industry 2011 Symantec 2011 Annual Threat Report 5
6 Outlook for 2012 Data breaches rose by 32% in 2011 Widespread use of mobile devices adds risk Despite regulations to the contrary, unauthorized access to patient information is still not a priority Negative productivity effects and financial consequences increase directly with an increase in number of incidents Number of cases of medical identity theft increased as number of incidents increased Ponemon Institute
7 Overview of Breach Reports 380 large breaches reported between Sept and Oct Over 30,000 plus small breaches reported in same period Over 18 million individuals affected 7

19 Lesson 5: Breaches have consequences 19

22 HC Pro HIPAA Update, blogs.hcpro.com 22
23 So began a nightmare that cost Mr. Tripathi s small nonprofit health consultancy nearly $300,000 in legal, private investigation, credit monitoring and media consultancy fees. Not to mention 600 hours dealing with the fallout and the intangible cost of repairing the reputational damage that followed. Nicole Perlroth, Digital Data on Patients Raises Risk of Breaches, N.Y. Times, Dec. 18, 2011 (relating to a stolen laptop containing unencrypted records of about 13,687 patients). 23
24 2010 Annual Study: U.S. Cost of a Data Breach (Ponemon Institute) For the fifth year in a row, data breach costs continued to rise The average organizational cost of a data breach increased to $7.2 million Data breaches in 2010 cost their companies an average of $214 per compromised record 24
25 Five priorities For Improving Readiness Conduct thorough risk assessment/use third party for objectivity/due diligence Adopt industry recognized information security model for measurement Resource and train IT security personnel/organization for success Implement robust system and user activity monitoring Implement appropriate vender security 25
26 Risk Analysis Implement regular risk analysis of the IT environment Assess against all reasonable threats/regulatory requirements Use third party support to ensure objectivity and due diligence Follow a doctrinal approach to risk analysis Develop detailed remediation roadmap/project plan to guide decisions 26
27 Everyone Wants To Be Headliner! Since 2009 we have had nearly 350+ major breaches, almost one a day in October 2011, an average of 18 major breaches a month, nearly 50K of all sizes in total, more than 18 Million individual records put at risk 60% Encrypt mobile devices 50% encrypt back up tapes 45% encrypt media 39% encrypt desktops 35% encrypt servers/databases HealthcareInfoSecurity.com
28 Information Security Models Privacy and security requirements in healthcare are complex and evolving HIPAA/HITECH/Meaningful Use are not information security frameworks Models such as NIST, ISO, HITRUST, COBIT etc. provide an IT security governance framework for multiple requirements Ensures recognized framework to measure assurance against and demonstrate compliance Reduces the risk of breach by reducing the chance of gaps 28
29 What Are We Waiting For? HIPAA was passed in 2003, with an effective date of April 2005, roughly seven (7) years ago. Asked how respondents would grade their organization s ability to comply with HIPAA/HITECH today? Roughly 40% said their organization was doing a good job 30% said they viewed their organization s effort as adequate 30% said their organization was failing or needed improvement HealthcareInfoSecurity.com
30 Resource & Train Resource means: budget, tools and people Understand what is reasonable, inhouse versus external support Overwhelming majority of breaches involve mistakes by people Provide tailored training to all workforce members, periodic reminders for everyone 30
31 Resourcing Still lags For three years straight ( ) the HIMSS Analytics annual security survey reported that healthcare spending on security lagged behind industry averages The average spend on security for regulated industries is generally accepted as greater than 6% of the IT budget This survey unfortunately told a similar story for the fourth straight year: Nearly 70% reported allocating 3% or less of the IT budget on security HealthcareInfoSecurity.com
32 Monitoring Activity Recognize different levels of criticality for monitoring: user, system, network, elevated privilege, etc. Recognize scope of the problem and requirements to do effectively Consider factors for decisions: staff capability, separation of duties, systems/data requirements, regulatory requirements Move from being reactive to being proactive 32
33 What We REALLY Don t Know! Managing and tracking access to sensitive data is fundamental to every information security standard. The average healthcare entity has thousands of systems, applications and users all creating millions of audit logs More than 70% are still relying on manual audits and the audit functions within applications to accomplish this critical task Those using audit tools report seeing a 90% drop in work effort, an exponential increase in awareness, and a equal decrease in events HealthcareInfoSecurity.com
34 Vendor Security Start with both legal and security review during selection processes Incorporate appropriate level of security requirements in contracts Request/conduct third party review of all venders having direct access/retaining ephi Detail your expectations for data security and privacy to vendors Have well defined incident response plans and agreements with vendors 34
35 Don t Assume! A large % of breach activity has been attributed to Business Associates. When asked about Business Associates two glaring facts told the whole story. 82% ranked respondents confidence in their Business Associates and their subcontractors security controls at a 3 or below on a scale of 1 5, 5 being most confident Yet 77% relied on their Business Associate Agreement alone to compel appropriate performance with no due diligence HealthcareInfoSecurity.com
