Service providers serving US and EU healthcare organizations  —  who store protected health information (PHI) and other personal data — are both HIPAA “business associates” and either GDPR “controllers” or “processors.” These organizations must abide by both sets of regulations. These policy templates are designed specifically for service providers who provide cloud or hosted information systems, data analytics services, or other similar services.

Eagle Consulting’s HIPAA and GDPR policy templates will save you thousands in consulting fees…

Use Eagle’s HIPAA and GDPR policy templates to create one manual which will position you to:

  • Increase sales with the strong HIPAA and GDPR compliance demanded by prospective customers.
  • Impress customers with your responses to their audits and increase customer retention.
  • Avoid crippling regulatory fines — random HIPAA audits are ongoing and HIPAA and GDPR fines are steep.
  • Reduce anxiety knowing your organization is compliant with HIPAA and GDPR and follows best practices.
  • Protect your organization from costly and embarrassing data loss.
  • Reduce the risk of a financially devastating data breach.

Finally, there is an easy and affordable solution to the need for HIPAA and GDPR policies — comprehensive, customizable HIPAA and GDPR policy templates specifically for software-as-a-service companies who operate internationally with health-related data. Eagle’s HIPAA and GDPR policy templates speed the process of HIPAA and GDPR compliance and help you increase security and avoid fines. Service providers subject to HIPAA and GDPR need policies regarding:

  • the duty to report violations and security incidents,
  • transparency regarding data practices,
  • data subject rights,
  • marketing and website compliance,
  • lawfulness of processing under GDPR,
  • data residency,
  • breach reporting,
  • pseudonymisation and anonymisation/de-identification,
  • disaster recovery and emergency mode operation, among others.

All of these topics and more are covered in these policy templates!

These policy templates were built under the following assumptions, and modifications are likely needed if the following assumptions do not apply to your unique situation:

  • Under GDPR, the organization adopting these policies will be a data “processor” for its clients who are EU healthcare providers, and the organization’s client will be a data “controller”.
  • All data from EU healthcare organizations are maintained in a secure, EU-based data center.
  • All sales, marketing and accounting information are transferred to a US data center
  • Cross-border transfers using Standard Contractual Clauses (note:  When a Privacy Shield Replacement is negotiated, the new mechanism will be added!)
