Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 289

Which regulatory system pertains to the protection of healthcare data?

Answer options

• A. HIPAA
• B. HAS
• C. HITECH
• D. HFCA

Correct answer: A

Explanation

HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, specifically addresses the protection of healthcare data and patient privacy. The other options, while related to healthcare, do not focus primarily on data protection; HAS and HFCA are not relevant regulatory frameworks, and HITECH supports HIPAA but does not directly govern data protection.
