Security
National Imaging Associates (NIA) is fully compliant with the HIPAA Standards for Privacy, Electronic Transactions and Security. The Security department, under the direction of the chief security officer, has the task of making sure that member health information is protected as it resides in our systems and when it is exchanged electronically. To address this, we have implemented technical, physical, and administrative safeguards to enhance:
- Physical security
- Personnel security
- Information systems security
NIA has taken a multi-layered approach to security, providing perimeter protection, segregated operations, business and administrative architectures, and extra protective measures associated with our Internet presence. NIA also monitors all of these interfaces to identify inappropriate or unauthorized traffic, e-mail, and attempts to connect to our systems.
Security policies and procedures have been developed to meet compliance standards, as well as to solidify best security business practices. Procedures have been implemented to support these policies and to allow for standardization.
