Your company is a security service contractor that consults with businesses in the U.S. that require assistance in complying with HIPAA. You advertise a proven track record in providing information program security management, information security governance programs, risk management programs, and regulatory and compliance recommendations. You identify vulnerabilities, threats, and risks for clients with the end goal of securing and protecting applications and systems within their organization.

Your client is Health Coverage Associates, a health insurance exchange in California and a healthcare-covered entity. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) enables individuals and small businesses to purchase health insurance at federally subsidized rates. In the past 6 months, they have experienced:

A malware attack (i.e., SQL Injection) on a critical software application that processed and stored client-protected health information (PHI) that allowed access to PHI stored within the database
An internal mistake by an employee allowed PHI to be emailed to the wrong recipient who was not authorized to have access to the PHI
Unauthorized access to client accounts through cracking of weak passwords via the company’s website login

Health Coverage Associates would like you to develop a security management plan that would address the required safeguards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data from the attacks listed above and protect their assets from the vulnerabilities that allowed the attacks to occur.

Write a 1- to 2-page high-level executive summary of the legal and regulatory compliance requirements for Health Coverage Associates executives. The summary should provide:

Accurate information on the HIPAA requirements for securing PHI
FISMA and HIPAA requirements for a security plan
Scope of the work you will perform to meet the Health Coverage Associates’ requests

Compile a 1-to 2-page list of at least 10 of the CIS controls that provide key alignment with the administrative (policies), physical (secured facilities), and technical safeguards required under HIPAA to protect against the attacks listed above. Include corresponding NIST controls mapped to the selected CIS controls.

Write a 1- to 2-page concise outline of the contents of the security management plan. Include

Policies Health Coverage Associates will need to manage, protect, and provide access to PHI
The recommended risk management framework Health Coverage Associates should adopt
Key elements Health Coverage Associates should include in its plan of actions and milestones

Truth is the key to making good and well-informed decisions in management. However, criminal
justice organizations in some jurisdictions do not practice the ethics of truth. They do not create
trust in their ability to deal with their citizens and fellow criminal justice organizations with
truthfulness in a court of law. Many years ago, some folks said, “if we don’t clean this mess up,
someone else is going to clean it up for us.” Because of this, it is critical that you understand
your role and authority when conducting internal investigations and the role that Garrity may
play in this endeavor. The article provided for this week focuses upon recent court decisions
related to officer integrity and accountability, both of which are paramount. Within this context,
you should also recall two very key cases: Brady v. Maryland and Giglio v. United States.

Final Essay Question:
As we consider the true purpose and necessity of accountability and integrity within law
enforcement, we must also consider how this should be addressed. Most often, officers that are
found guilty of deception through internal administrative investigations are cited for termination.
With this in mind, should this be a matter of common response and general public policy?
Should all officers found guilty of deception (lying) be subject to termination?
As you strive to answer the overall question, use the steps below to arrive at your final answers
in route to the last one:
 It is simple, but is it fair?
 Is it possible that you could lose some really good personnel who only messed up once in
their whole career?
 What effect will such a drastic measure have on the personnel’s families?
 If you keep them, will it affect the overall credibility of your agency?
 What conclusion does the writer reach? Why or why not?
