CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 19

A healthcare provider discovers that protected health information of patients was altered without patient consent. The healthcare provider is subject to HIPAA compliance and is required to protect PHI data. Which type of security safeguard should be implemented to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. technical and physical access control
• B. physical device and media control
• C. administrative security management processes
• D. technical integrity and transmission security

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because technical integrity and transmission security focuses on ensuring that PHI remains unaltered during storage and transmission. Options A, B, and C address different aspects of security but do not specifically target the integrity of the information itself, which is crucial in this scenario.
