The control as we hold it
Person or Entity Authentication (Standard). Implement procedures to verify that a person or entity seeking access to ePHI is the one claimed. NIST recommends multi-factor authentication and authenticator assurance levels per SP 800-63B.

What an auditor commonly asks for
General guidance for this control area (domain: Technical), in our words, not a statement of the standard and not binding on an assessor.
- the unique-user and access-control records
- the audit-log configuration and review records
- the integrity and encryption records for ePHI in transit
