Security standards

Information security management standards are among the most widely used methods of security management. They focus on ensuring that certain information security processes or activities exist, while they are unconcerned about and fail to give advice on how these security processes can be accomplished in practice. [1]

The HIPAA Security Standards require physicians to protect the security of patients' electronic medical information through the use of procedures and mechanisms that protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. As of 2005, physicians must have in place administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that will protect electronic health information that the physician collects, maintains, uses, and transmits.
