Performing these processes appropriately will ensure the confidentiality, availability and integrity of EPHI, protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of EPHI, and protect against any reasonably anticipated uses or disclosures of EPHI that are not permitted or required under the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
