Question

After a recent security breach at a hospital, it was discovered that nursing staff members, who were working the overnight shift, searched for and accessed private health information for local celebrities who were patients at the hospital. Which of the following would have enabled the hospital to discover this behavior BEFORE a breach occurred?

• Time-of-day restrictions
• Usage reviews
• Periodic permission audits
• Location-based policy enforcement

Answer 1

Solution(s):

Answer : (C) Pereodic Permission Audit

In pereodic permission audit, the members are given access to the data for a specific part of the time. So, if the time to access the information was in the day, then the security would have been high and the chances of a breach would be less. This could prevent such acts and protect the image of the hospital too.
