Compliance Solutions
HSS Healthcare Security Compliance Solutions
HSS is a leader in helping customers meet the many challenges of healthcare security compliance.
The Joint Commission (TJC)
HSS is a nationally recognized leader in applying TJC compliance strategies to customer security programs. HSS takes responsibility for planning all TJC Environment of Care requirements related to security. The Annual Effectiveness Review that HSS prepare for customers every year is considered a “best
An ecfirst Case Study: HSS & HIPAA Compliance
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
HSS help customer ensure protection of your patients’ health information as stipulated by HIPAA, the Privacy Act of 1974, and their facility’s patient privacy requirements.
Security Operations Center (SOC)
The HSS Security Operations Center (SOC), which exclusively supports HSS security, serves as the centralized monitoring and dispatch center for healthcare facilities nationwide. The key benefits of centralizing responsibility for all of customer facility’s security-related telephone calls, alarm monitoring, emergency communications, and radio dispatching with HSS include:
Accelerate officer response time. Expedite information sharing.
Facilitate staff and visitor contact with security. Reduce dispatch costs.
Significant Savings
HSS has been able to cut costs 66% or more by moving customers’ dedicated security dispatch to HSS security—and maintain or improve the quality and timeliness of response.
Advanced Communications Technology
HSS continually upgrade their technology to ensure they operate at the highest level of reliability and availability.
HSS’s Nextel communications system has three independent forms of
communication—cell phones, radios, and text messaging. If one, or even two, of these fail, the SOC can continue to provide critical communication to customer’s security officers and responders.
HSS has a Level 5 Emergency Access priority, which is the level just below the President, military, Congress, and first responders. This enhances their ability to communicate in an emergency or disaster.
HSS use an uninterruptible power supply and generator back-up power for all SOC radio, phone system, and electrical circuits so they are able to maintain communication during emergencies, disasters, or power failures.
All phone calls and radio transmissions are digitally recorded, which provides the documentation customer need for definitive complaint resolution and effective dispatcher training. Redundant servers ensure that calls are safely retained for future retrieval as needed.
An ecfirst Case Study: HSS & HIPAA Compliance
Physical security
Physical security is the heart of healthcare security. There simply is no substitute for the professional expertise and human touch of security officers at customer facility. But, given cuts in Medicare and Medicaid funding, hospitals need to ensure they are operating efficiently and cost-effectively. Supplementing physical security with carefully selected and properly applied electronic security is playing an increasingly important role in safeguarding the nation’s healthcare facilities for several reasons:
Technology brings new efficiencies to security programs that can lower cost. HSS Security Incident Management Software (SIMS) facilitates greater
understanding of security incidents and provides faster, customized customer reporting. Officers use their mobile handheld devices to file incident reports, access information such as facility orders and “BOLOs” more quickly, and test security equipment and automatically log results.
Video surveillance and analytics monitoring of parking lots and grounds supplements external patrols and extends the security presence beyond facility doors.
Integrated Physical and Electronic Security
HSS Systems Integration can do it all from expert design and engineering to installation, monitoring, maintenance, and repair. They’ll set up systems so that they are easy to use—and make sure customer’s staffs are comfortable using them. With HSS as their physical security services provider, they’ll ensure that technology effectively supports their security personnel.

An ecfirst Case Study: INeTU & HIPAA Compliance
Security As A Service
Set it and forget it is not the right approach, but sadly it is the norm for security among Cloud hosters. The INetU SOC team keeps an eye on security so customers only have to worry about the security of their code and nothing else when they sign up for the INetU Security Suite. The SOC is the brains behind the tools that are keeping their sites secure. Experienced security experts review the SIEM logs and let them know if there is anything to be concerned about, they keep an eye on any anomalies detected by their IPS/IDS and Application Traffic Firewall. When they implement File Integrity Monitoring, these experts are the ones who respond to any concerning alerts.
INetU Security Suite Managed By The security operations center
(SOC)
The INetU Managed Security Suite gives the protection that customer needs while helping them meet compliance and regulatory requirements such as PCI and HIPAA.
INetU’s Security Suite works across all types of environments including
Dedicated Servers, Private Clouds, our Public Cloud, and even Hybrid Clouds. Customers have just one suite of products and one portal to manage them through no matter how complex their environment is.
The Security Suite is designed to be used together to provide multiple layers of defense against attackers. This is a concept known as "Defense in Depth" - even if an attacker manages to get through one layer; there are still several more layers of defense to keep their data and applications safe.
Application Traffic Firewall
INetU Security Operations Center is watching for any signs of unusual activity on your protected site. In addition, Imperva's Application Defense Center (ADC) is constantly researching new attacks and vulnerabilities on the Internet and working to improve the WAF's ability to protect customers from them.
INetU’s Application Traffic Firewall solution meets the requirements set forth in PCI DSS Section 6.6 and is a component of the implied requirement of Security Best Practices under HIPAA 164.306(a).
Dual Factor Authentication.
Dual Factor Authentication takes one step further and requires customer to enter a code from a physical device in their possession in order to access their
systems and Client Center at INetU. INetU’s dual factor authentication service is available as either a USB key or an app for customer’s smartphone so that all users can take advantage of this important security enhancement.
An ecfirst Case Study: INeTU & HIPAA Compliance
INetU’s dual factor authentication meets the requirements set forth in PCI DSS Section 8.3 and is a component of the requirements of HIPAA §164.312(d).
Log Monitoring & Review

These logs can be essential for detecting attempted security breaches, misused accounts, and even non-security related problems. INetU’s SIEM solution meets the requirements set forth in PCI DSS section 10.6 and is a component of the requirements of HIPAA.
File Integrity Monitoring
File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) ensures that customer know if critical system or application files are replaced or modified. It's an extra layer of defense to ensure that they know quickly if their system has been compromised. INetU’s FIM solution meets the requirements set forth in PCI DSS section 11.5.
Firewalls & VPNs
Every solution at INetU is protected by a firewall with SSL VPN capability to allow remote users to administer servers seamlessly while protecting their environment by locking down remote access to authorized individuals.

Intrusion Detection System (IDS) / Intrusion Prevention System (IPS)
An Intrusion Detection System watches the traffic coming in and out of customer environment for signs of an attack, notifying both customer and INetU the
moment it sees anything out of the ordinary. An Intrusion Prevention System takes that one step further and stops the potential attack in its tracks.
INetU’s IDS/IPS solution meets the requirements set forth in PCI DSS Section 11.4.
Vulnerability Scanning
INetU provide two types of vulnerability scanning - internal and external. External vulnerability scanning attempts to find weaknesses from the public internet. Internal vulnerability scanning looks for potential weaknesses from inside
customer firewall to ensure that everything is secure even if an attacker manages to find a way into their environment.
