The Security Rule focuses specifically on electronic PHI and establishes the technical framework healthcare organizations follow. It organizes requirements into three categories: administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, and technical safeguards.
Unlike the Privacy Rule’s broader scope, the Security Rule addresses the nuts and bolts of protecting digital patient data. Organizations assess risks, implement appropriate protections, and document their compliance efforts.
Covered entities include healthcare providers who transmit health information electronically, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses. A small physician practice submitting electronic claims falls under HIPAA just as a large hospital system does.
Business associates are third-party vendors that create, receive, maintain, or transmit PHI on behalf of covered entities. IT service providers, cloud hosting companies, billing services, and EHR vendors all qualify as business associates.

Protected Health Information includes any individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a covered entity or business associate. Electronic PHI (ePHI) specifically refers to PHI in electronic form.
Every person accessing ePHI requires a unique user identifier—no shared logins allowed. Systems also require emergency access procedures for situations when normal access methods fail during critical care situations. Automatic logoff features protect unattended workstations from unauthorized access.
Encryption converts readable data into coded information that requires a key to decipher. While HIPAA lists encryption as “addressable” rather than “required,” organizations that choose not to encrypt face significant liability if a breach occurs.
Data at rest (stored on servers, laptops, or backup drives) and data in transit (moving across networks or the internet) both benefit from encryption. Most healthcare IT environments implement encryption for both scenarios.
