The control as we hold it
Security Standards: General Rules. Covered entities and business associates must ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all electronic protected health information (ePHI) they create, receive, maintain, or transmit; protect against reasonably anticipated threats; protect against reasonably anticipated impermissible uses or disclosures; and ensure workforce compliance. Entities may use flexibility of approach considering size, complexity, capabilities, technical infrastructure, costs, and probability and criticality of risks to ePHI.
