Job ID: 37239990

Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR

Scope of Work: Ensuring Website Security and HIPAA Compliance

Objective: The objective of this scope of work is to ensure the security of online
communication and verify HIPAA compliance for WordPress websites hosted on A2
Hosting and GoDaddy Hosting accounts. This includes assessing the use of HTTPS,
SSL certificates, and conducting a thorough investigation to determine if the websites
meet HIPAA compliance standards.
I. Secure Website Communication Assessment: Before proceeding with HIPAA
compliance verification, it is crucial to ensure that the websites are using secure
communication methods. This includes:
Check for HTTPS: Examine the uniform resource locator (URL) of the websites to
confirm the use of HTTPS instead of HTTP. HTTPS signifies the use of Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption for data transmission.
Lock Icon Confirmation: Verify the presence of a lock icon near the browser's
location field, indicating that the connection between the web browser and the
website server is encrypted with SSL.
II. HIPAA Compliance Verification: To assess if the WordPress websites are HIPAA
compliant, conduct a comprehensive investigation covering the following aspects:
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Determine whether 2FA is enabled for all users
who have access to personally identifiable information (PII) on the websites.
Plugin Compliance: Evaluate all plugins used on the WordPress sites to ensure
they are HIPAA compliant. This includes examining how plugins handle PII and
whether they meet the necessary security standards.
Data Access Authorization: Assess the mechanisms in place to restrict
unauthorized access to sensitive medical data. Ensure that only authorized
individuals can access and view PII.
Data Encryption: Confirm that all data transmitted, stored, or processed on the
websites is adequately encrypted to protect against unauthorized interception or
eavesdropping.
Uptime and Availability: Monitor the websites' uptime and availability to ensure
that individuals can access their medical data whenever needed.
