#113 - HIPAA Security 2025: Turning Proposed Changes into a Practical Action Plan

The HIPAA Security 2025 Proposed Changes are not just "regulatory noise." They signal a major reset in what regulators will expect to see when it comes to protecting ePHI. Annual asset inventories, updated risk analyses, required multi-factor authentication, stronger encryption expectations, tighter vendor oversight, and real incident response testing all point to one thing: "good enough" security will not hold up. In this session, we break down the Proposed HIPAA Security Rule updates in plain language and translate them into real-world steps for clinics, billing vendors, and business associates.
