ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
During requirements elicitation for an electronic health record (EHR) web application that will store and transmit protected health information for U.S. clinics, the team must identify regulatory sources of security controls. Which portion of HIPAA provides the authoritative technical safeguard requirements they should map into the software?
HITECH Omnibus Rule amendments to HIPAA
HIPAA Privacy Rule (45 CFR Part 164 Subpart E)
HIPAA Enforcement Rule (45 CFR Part 160 Subpart D)
The HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164 Subpart C) establishes administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for protecting electronic protected health information. Its technical safeguard provisions-such as access control, audit controls, integrity, authentication, and transmission security-translate directly into software security requirements. The Privacy Rule focuses on permissible uses and disclosures of PHI, not specific technical controls. The Enforcement Rule details penalties and investigations, while the HITECH Omnibus Rule primarily updates breach notification and business-associate obligations; neither specifies the baseline technical safeguards that developers must implement.
