Business Associate is committed to implementing and implementing appropriate administrative, physical and technical security measures to prevent the use or disclosure of PPHs; and (b) to adequately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the ePHI that creates, receives, manages or transmits business associate on behalf of the insured entity. These security measures include a written information security directive, a security incident response plan, regular safety awareness training and confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements with independent subcontractors and consultants with whom Business Associate has delegated tasks under this AGENCY.
