This initiative is designed to protect the confidentiality and integrity of electronic personal health information. Organizations rely on Tripwire IT configuration audit and control software to help:

• Establish controls for HIPAA application and data analysis, and access authorization and modification
• Record information system activity
• Develop HIPAA security policies that pass HIPAA security compliance audits
• Conduct testing
• Assess risk management practices

Using Tripwire configuration audit and control solutions, healthcare organizations can establish HIPAA security policies and controls that instill accountability throughout their health information systems.

An Ironclad Defense: Detective Control

Tripwire provides what auditors call a detective control. It delivers the hard evidence of IT configuration audit and control that auditors want. Tripwire gives you:

• Automated configuration control that isn't susceptible to human error or lapses in judgment
• Broad infrastructure coverage of changes on servers, workstations and network devices, including changes made both manually or by automated tools
• Independent evidence of change through perfect segregation of duties - the person or tool that made the change is not used to validate the change
