CEO FEISAL NANJI DISCUSSES TECHUMEN’S STRATEGY FOR HEALTHCARE SECURITY RISK ASSESSMENT.
Our history of proven success has helped us develop several models and methodologies that ensure you get fast-acting solutions to your HIPAA audit needs.
Work with 20+ year industry veterans to rapidly become HIPAA-compliant and maximize your reimbursement this year.
Work with Techumen and rest assured that you’re getting a risk assessment for HIPAA that has proven successful 100% of the time.
You will always be HIPAA-compliant with Techumen as your partner.
We prioritize the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) risk assessment methodology.
Manage your business with confidence while our certified staff performs a risk analysis in accordance with NIST’s risk based approach.
To fully understand your technology risk, you must understand the crucial data flows when dealing with Protected Health Information (PHI).
As part of our vulnerability assessment in network security, Techumen’s experts help you understand key inventory technology components in your infrastructure.
We implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that cover your entire infrastructure, including:
Security threats find and exploit specific flaws in your system to access Protected Health Information (PHI).
Our team uses advanced threat identification to identify potential issues and remediate them before they affect your business.
As part of our HIPAA security risk assessment services, we divide threats into three categories:
Partner with us and benefit from a risk based network and security risk assessment that provides valuable insight into these and other threats.
Vulnerabilities exist in technology (unpatched servers), processes (inadequate termination of accounts) or people (shared passwords).
As a result, a “system characterization”, or inventory of how your information flows and is used within your organization, is vital for a security assessment.
If your systems have been defined and analyzed well, the vulnerability assessment process becomes much easier to perform on a regular basis.
A control analysis assesses the capabilities of your existing set of controls to meet your environment’s needs.
It can identify vulnerabilities within existing policies, procedures or standards that may be in violation.
There are typically three types of controls for identified risks:
Likelihood determination considers the threat motivation and ability, the nature of the vulnerability, and current and planned controls.
Our HIPAA security risk assessment uses a three-tiered risk analysis assessment to determine likelihood:
In the absence of any historical data, our team will use its expertise to identify vulnerabilities.
Our risk management experts analyze that impact of lost confidentiality, data integrity, and the effect of any current or planned mitigating controls.
For a recent client, we suggested a three-tiered risk analysis methodology that determines the impact of security vulnerabilities:
Risk determination is a combination of the impact rating and the likelihood determination.
When we conduct our vulnerability assessment in network security, we use a three-tiered approach to quickly make decisions.
Response speed is critical when an incident occurs, and having a ready way to gauge identified risks is crucial.
LIKELIHOOD | |||
IMPACT | High | Medium | Low |
High | High | High | Medium* |
Medium | High | Medium | Low |
Low | Medium | Low | Low |
The area marked with an asterisk (*) is potentially problematic. These are low-likelihood, high-impact events that are more difficult to predict.
As part of the risk management process, the Compliance Group, IT Security Committee or the Audit Committee should review all risks assigned to this area.
Our security vulnerabilities review determines if risks are appropriately ranked. It also identifies additional controls required to avoid data breaches.
Based on the determination of risk, your organization will need a roadmap for future implementation of security measures.
Our network and security assessment empowers your management team to make educated decisions about security.
They can either accept each network security risk as it stands or alleviate some of the risk by imposing additional controls.
This is an especially useful exercise since it includes approvals, scheduling, and budgeting for additional control implementation.
It is vital to document all results of your network vulnerability assessment.
As compliance experts who prepare numerous clients for HIPAA audits, we understand the value of excellent documentation for a security assessment.
Our team will work with you to produce a well-written, readily available document that describes your entire risk analysis process to foster confidentiality and integrity for your organization.

Partner with Techumen and benefit from a complete HIPAA security risk assessment that helps your organization maintain confidentiality integrity.
We dig deeper to examine administrative, physical and technical safeguards with four-step vulnerability assessment process:
As part of our vulnerability assessment in network security, our goal is to help you save time and money.
We understand the importance of managing your business, which is why we minimize the burden of documentation requests.
We offer remote and in-person assessments, and also perform penetration testing to identify potential security vulnerabilities within your network.
To prepare you for future security assessments, we can help you create and implement a HIPAA security risk assessment checklist.
A HIPAA security risk assessment can be as time-consuming as it is expensive.
Our methods allow you to manage your business with confidence while we implement our proven risk management plan.
Using a combination of immediate fixes and long-term cures, our experts improve the risk analysis process by:
If third-party security is required, our brand-agnostic staff recommend solutions that will bolster your network security.
Meeting or maintaining ePHI compliance standards is easier with an experienced partner in your corner.
Keep your ePHI privacy and security measures updated with help from Techumen’s team of experts.
IT powers modern health care by storing or disseminating virtually everything an organization might know about a patient.
We help your organization adhere to HIPAA’s Security Rule and Meaningful Use requirements by ensuring the safety of the Protected Health Information (PHI) it manages.
The Security Rule also requires organizations to evaluate risks and identify vulnerabilities in their technology to meet the department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) standards.
To remain compliant, a network and security assessment should be conducted on a regular basis to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
The results of our risk analysis help you make informed decisions about improving security measures to protect ePHI.
Techumen provides cyber security and regulatory compliance audits, assessments, and consulting for healthcare organizations.
