Nashville, TN — Galactic Advisors announced today the launch of its annual HIPAA training program, designed to fulfill annual HIPAA training requirements for end users while addressing the practical risks associated with handling protected health information.
While HIPAA training is a regulatory requirement under the Privacy and Security Rules, many programs focus on completion rather than effectiveness. Galactic developed this training to align regulatory expectations with real-world workflows, where most HIPAA violations occur.
The program covers the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule, with practical guidance on identifying protected health information, managing permitted disclosures, safeguarding electronic data, and responding to suspected or confirmed incidents.
In addition to core HIPAA requirements, the training reinforces essential security awareness practices, including access controls, credential management, and phishing awareness, reflecting how HIPAA-related incidents most commonly arise.
“HIPAA training should function as a risk control, not a formality,” said Bruce McCully, CEO of Galactic. “This program helps organizations demonstrate intentional, defensible training that stands up when it matters.”
The annual HIPAA training program is now available to Galactic partners and clients as part of the company’s commitment to practical, evidence-based compliance and risk reduction.
