Human Resources and Benefit Administrators need to know what a Data Breach is and what actions must be taken to avoid fines and civil actions. This webinar will explain what a Data Breach is and what actions the organization must take under HIPAA and state breach laws. Learn what data elements are included, what notifications must be made, to whom and when the notifications must be made. The most common sources for data breaches will also be presented.

Learn what HR and the IT Department can do minimize the chance of a Data Breach. Most breach laws require that written Policies and Procedures are in place so that your organization can execute the appropriate actions if a breach occurs. Common sense and somewhat more complex safeguards will be discussed that, if in place, will greatly limit your risk to Data Breaches.
