Cevap

The organization must execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with the cloud provider to meet HIPAA obligations for Protected Health Information, and mandate 72-hour breach notifications to supervisory authorities to comply with GDPR requirements.
Establishing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) fulfills HIPAA requirements for vendor governance when handling Protected Health Information (PHI). Reporting personal data breaches affecting EU citizens within 72 hours to a supervisory authority fulfills mandatory GDPR notification requirements.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate HIPAA compliance requirements for third-party cloud processing of healthcare data.
HIPAA requires executing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with cloud vendors handling Protected Health Information (PHI).
A BAA establishes legal liability and obligates the service provider to maintain required administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
2
Evaluate GDPR legal obligations regarding international personal data breaches.
GDPR mandates notifying the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours of discovering a personal data breach.
Article 33 of GDPR requires prompt breach notification to ensure supervisory oversight and mitigation of risk to data subjects.
