Exploring the HIPAA Omnibus Rule
The HIPAA Omnibus Rule expands business associate liability BAAs, and strengthens breach and privacy protections.
Exploring the HIPAA Omnibus Rule
The HIPAA Omnibus Rule, enacted in 2013, strengthened privacy and security protections under HIPAA and expanded compliance obligations for business associates.
Key enhancements include:
Making business associates directly liable for HIPAA compliance
Expanding the definition of business associate to include more vendors and subcontractors
Requiring updated Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with enhanced provisions
Strengthening privacy rights, including limitations on marketing and fundraising
Revising breach notification requirements to promote greater transparency
For organizations managing HIPAA compliance today, the Omnibus Rule is integral, defining modern expectations for privacy, security, and breach response.
Aligning Omnibus Rule compliance with broader efforts under SOC 2 and ISO 27001 helps organizations manage risk consistently across their extended vendor ecosystem.
