Clarity recommends setting up processes specific to GDPR and HIPAA compliance and working with services that will help enable these processes. In general, there will be internal and external processes that need to occur regularly. If possible, we recommend deputizing one or more individuals within the organization to complete training and become compliance officers or similar, internally. This can be a relatively small-time commitment – in other words, a role that gets added to their existing responsibilities.
A simple way to enable this process adjustment is to leverage a service that helps guide and manage the process overall. One example of these offerings is www.AccountableHQ.com. The main outcome that will need to occur is regular auditing of the key responsibilities, auditing of the responsible parties, and ongoing validation of the organization’s adherence to the GDPR and HIPAA compliance. There are many options for setting this up, but generally, this is something that requires ongoing auditing and review. Leveraging a third-party resource makes the process much simpler overall and can help reduce the risk associated with otherwise manually completing the audits and ongoing research internally.
