August updates have shipped! For HIPAA customers, we’ve released a HIPAA compliance training video. For all Vanta users, we now offer a ClickUp integration to prove your organization’s use of a task tracking system. We’ve also introduced new automated tests for HIPAA, MFA, AWS, and NoSQL databases. Read on to learn more about what’s new in Vanta.
HIPAA Compliance Training Video
The HIPAA Privacy Rule mandates that all members of a workforce be provided with PHI security training “within a reasonable period of time after the person joins the covered entity’s workforce”. This is in addition to general Security Awareness Training, which is also required under the HIPAA Security Rule. Fortunately, Vanta now offers both training videos all-in-one employee onboarding experience. This helpful feature is available (in beta) to all HIPAA customers at no additional cost. Contact your CSM for more info!
