Privacy puzzle pieces

Privacy Officers Face More Challenges Than Ever.

Accomplishing Privacy Officer duties without the support of a team is difficult.

Privacy Officers need to monitor ongoing compliance as laws and their interpretation evolve to catch up to technology. This includes ensuring all software and hardware are compliant and up-to-date and performing regular audits for unauthorized access to private information.

In a world where patient data theft is a lucrative occupation, Privacy Officers need to be aware of cybercriminal tactics and how risks to data privacy, such as ransomware, can be prevented.

With the increasing public attention to privacy, Privacy Officers must also be conversant in the regulations and the reasons behind each safeguard your organization has in place.

Frequently Asked Questions about Privacy Officer Services

What are the responsibilities of a Privacy Officer?
A Privacy Officer is responsible for ensuring ongoing clinic compliance with healthcare privacy compliance laws and developing and implementing privacy policies and procedures. The privacy officer will also be in charge of conducting privacy risk assessments and audits, managing privacy breach response and reporting, responding to privacy issues raised by patients and staff, and managing privacy compliance training for staff.
Why should my clinic outsource Privacy Officer duties?
Hiring a qualified Privacy Officer full-time can be expensive and challenging. By outsourcing privacy officer duties to Brightsquid, your clinic will benefit from off-the-shelf privacy expertise at a fraction of the cost, with continuous compliance coverage and on-demand expertise. Plus, our team approach means no breaks in coverage for illness or vacations.
What are the challenges of managing privacy compliance in-house?
Managing healthcare privacy compliance in-house can be overwhelming due to frequent regulatory updates, cybersecurity threats, lack of expertise and time constraints. A single privacy officer is often unable to address ongoing compliance adequately. Experienced and certified privacy officers are hard to find, and many have not had broad exposure to hundreds of privacy incidents that support quick thinking in times of disaster.
What are the benefits of outsourcing Privacy Officer responsibilities to Brightsquid?
By outsourcing your Privacy Officer role to Brightsquid, you get continuous knowledgeable compliance support without disruptions. You also end up avoiding the high expense of hiring a full-time Privacy Officer with gap time while they acquaint themselves with relevant regulations and operational details.
