    Learn about information security in your business, and your role for effective information security.

What Will You Learn?

The HIPAA information security requirements for securing enterprise data, applications, and intellectual property have become the critical issue for decision makers in the era of HIPAA.

Like attending a two-day seminar on information security, these courses provide information on every key aspect of security related to HIPAA.

You’ll learn about the types of threats against information security, how to define security requirements for your organization, and how to select the appropriate solutions to protect against threats. You’ll learn about the attack timeline and how to close the window of exposure. You’ll learn about the different security technologies, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.


Frequently Asked Questions

The final security rule will not be released until Spring of 2003, should I purchase this course now?

Yes. This course is based on the same security best practices that the HIPAA security rule is based on, so the knowledge will still be applicable even after the final rule is published. Also, PSI will provide the updated course to you on CD, free of charge, soon after the final security rule is released. In addition, with the compliance dates right around the corner, you need to start preparing now.

Which people in my organization should take this course?

This 5 hour course is designed to fulfill the the training and awareness requirements for all your employees. All people in the organization who use individually identifiable health information on computers should view this class.

Will I be able to contact the instructor if I have questions or need additional information?

Yes. You can mail PSI with any questions and they will get back to you in a timely manner.

Are there any specific hardware or software requirements that must be met before I take this course?

No. The audio CDs require no special equipment except what is necessary to play a music CD. The integrated audio and slide presentation require a PC.
