Security and Risk Requirements. The System Development Life Cycle must include a documented process to conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of confidential information, including PHI and ePHI. Security controls must be considered throughout the System Development Life Cycle. Security Design & Architecture Security controls must be designed to eliminate single points of failure. Systems must be designed to use a common security architecture. Production, test, and development environments must be physically and/or logically separated. Application Role Design and Access Privileges Application security controls must be designed to ensure users can access only information they have an authorized business need for. Access must be controlled by a common access methodology or single sign on wherever feasible. Secure Coding Guidelines Secure coding principles and practices must be documented and followed. Web application controls must be configured to prevent printing or downloading data to unauthorized workstation and/or mobile devices. Production information must not be used in development and test environments unless such environments are secured to the same level as production, or data has been de-identified as specified in HIPAA (45 CFR 164.514). Secure Build New server and network equipment deployment procedures must ensure implementation of security configuration settings. Security Testing All security controls must be tested prior to implementing new systems or upgrades into production. Where feasible, automated tools must be used for code review. Roll-out and Go-live Management To retain separation of duties, staff other than developers must be responsible for moving systems or applications into the production environment. All non-standard access paths must be removed prior to being moved into production. Application Security Administration Development staff must receive management approval to access production systems. Technical staff must not have access to production data, programs, or applications unless such access is required to perform their jobs. Antivirus (AV) & Malware protection Documented policies and procedures for guarding against, detecting, and reporting malicious software must exist. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Intrusion detection and prevention systems must be implemented for critical components of the network. Network Access Controls Documented policies and proc...
