Things to Note
If I snoozed my HIPAA standard, can I still assign an officer?
Yes
Does the officer need to be an administrator in Vanta to be assigned that role?
No, regardless of permission, anyone can be assigned to be the HIPAA security officer. However, if this role entails working on policy or doing things in Vanta other than completing security tasks, you should assign them the editor role.
I don't see the HIPAA standard sections on my information page
HIPAA is not enabled on your account, and you need to reach out to your account manager to have them enable it.
Does Vanta notify me if the HIPAA Security officer has been offboarded and a new one needs to be set?
No, it is up to the administrators to re-assign the role to a new user after offboarding the previous security officer. The page will always show the last person assigned as the current HIPAA Officer.
