Case Study: Northeastern Academic Health System achieves HIPAA compliance and proactive privacy monitoring with FairWarning Managed Privacy Services

Northeastern Academic Health System reduces privacy risk after 2 breaches with FairWarning Managed Privacy Services

Northeastern Academic Health System, a major nonprofit healthcare system, faced significant privacy breaches that exposed gaps in its HIPAA compliance program. With a small team, they needed a more proactive way to monitor patient record access and prevent future incidents. They partnered with FairWarning to implement its Managed Privacy Services (MPS).

FairWarning's MPS solution outsourced alert monitoring, analysis, and reporting to specialists. This enabled proactive HIPAA monitoring, faster investigations, and better use of the existing staff for higher-value work. The implementation by FairWarning helped the health system increase employee privacy awareness, stay compliant, and reduce privacy risk.
