Define break-the-glass procedures for emergency access with mandatory post-event audit review.
Integrate access revocation workflows with HR offboarding systems for departing staff.
Monitor privileged access to EHR audit logs by IT administrators using separate logging systems.
Negotiate access rights for AI-driven diagnostic tools with vendor SLAs that limit data retention.
Conduct quarterly access reviews with department leads to validate user permissions.

Module 4: Managing Third-Party and Vendor Risk in Healthcare

Audit cloud service providers handling patient data against ISO 27799 control A.15.1.2 for contract security.
Enforce data processing agreements (DPAs) with telehealth platform vendors specifying breach notification timelines.
