Why HIPAA compliance is important

HIPAA compliance is important for healthcare-related entities for many reasons. Breach of healthcare data has serious consequences in both time and money. On top of that, if an organization is exposed to a data breach, it may face heavy fines for willful negligence.

Instituting a HIPAA compliance program decreases the risks of data breaches and strengthens your cybersecurity. Implementing and mitigating cybersecurity threats is a complex task, and HIPAA provides a framework to do so.
