Healthcare privacy breach prevention through integrated audit and access control

摘要

A computer-implemented method for compliance with a privacy requirement. The method comprises analyzing, using one or more processors, an access log related to a history of users accessing records; deriving a plurality of roles assigned to the users and a plurality of accesses reflecting actions taken by the users; and deriving from the access log a mapped log comprising a plurality of mapping records including a plurality of mapped role-access pairs. The method further comprises generating, using the one or more processors, a reduced log including a plurality of reduced records comprising a mapped role-access pair and statistics that are associated with the mapped role-access pair, the statistics being derived from a subset of the mapping records that include the mapped role-access pair; and deriving an access policy based on the reduced log, wherein the access policy includes a plurality of proposed role-access pairs.

1. A computer-implemented method for compliance with a privacy requirement, the method comprising:
analyzing, using one or more processors, an access log related to a history of users accessing records; deriving a plurality of roles assigned to the users and a plurality of accesses reflecting actions taken by the users; deriving from the access log a mapped log comprising a plurality of mapping records including a plurality of mapped role-access pairs; generating, using the one or more processors,
a reduced log including a plurality of reduced records comprising a mapped role-access pair and user identifications, andstatistics that are associated with the mapped role-access pair, the statistics being derived from a subset of the mapping records that include the mapped role-access pair; identifying the mapped role-access pair as underrepresented based on the user identifications; and deriving an access policy based on the reduced log, wherein the access policy includes a plurality of proposed role-access pairs.
