CDH COMPLAINT FORM

 CDH works with many organizations who may be defined as a Covered Entity under HIPAA and due to the nature of the services provided, our providers may be required to act as a Business Associate under HIPAA.

Cedric Dean Holdings has undergone a comprehensive review of all administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the protection of e-PHI.

This includes:

1. Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all e-PHI created, received, maintained, or transmitted
2. Identifying and protecting against reasonably anticipated threats to the security or integrity of the information
3. Protecting against reasonably anticipated impermissible uses or disclosures
4. Ensuring compliance by our providers

HIPAA compliance provides a protective layer of security in handling any personal healthcare data that may pass through our systems.

 Cedric Dean Holdings, Inc. has implemented the necessary controls to ensure HIPAA compliance including administrative, physical, and technical controls.

Risk Assessment
As part of our security management process, CDH will conduct annual risk assessments including likelihood and impact of potential risks. A risk assessment helps ensure that controls are appropriate to address the needs of the organization. Conducting these annually ensures that organizations continue to provide the highest level of security for the data that they have been entrusted to protect.

Administrative Safeguards
CDH has implemented a security management process, including appropriate standard operating procedures (SOPs) and policies. A security manager has been assigned to help develop and review procedures and policies. Direct Support Professionals are kept up to date with changes and are trained on HIPAA and security annually. Internal review of these safeguards is done regularly to ensure compliance and for continual improvement.

Physical Safeguards
CDH ensures that the data centers have implemented strict facility access policies and all necessary and appropriate controls. Strict policies are in place to ensure e-PHI is only housed in secure locations.

Technical Safeguards
CDH has implemented appropriate technical safeguards including authentication and authorization for our providers and for users of our applications. Appropriate auditing and integrity controls are in place. All data transmissions to the data centers require encryption. Additional systems have been implemented where appropriate to ensure the highest level of security for our hosted applications.

 Further documentation on specific policies and measures in place is available upon request. This Statement of HIPAA Compliance is meant for informational purposes only and not as a form of covenant, warranty, representation or guarantee of any kind. We encourage the use of Business Associate Agreements to address specific compliance requirements.
