HIPAA Security Awareness & Privacy Training | CFR-Mapped

---

HIPAA compliance isn't optional—it is strictly enforced by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Under the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), your workforce must be trained to safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI). 

 45 CFR § 164.530(b) — Requires all Covered Entities to train every member of their workforce on the specific policies and procedures regarding PHI as "necessary and appropriate for them to carry out their functions." 

 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(5) — Mandates that both Covered Entities and Business Associates implement an ongoing security awareness and training program for the entire workforce, including management. 

 45 CFR § 164.530(b)(2) — New workforce members must be trained within a "reasonable period" after joining. Retraining must occur immediately following any "material change" to your organization’s policies or procedures.  Based on healthcare sector best practices, HIPAA Security Awareness & Privacy Training should be provided on an annual basis.
