Does the security rule require the ce to protect against uses or disclosures of phi that are not permitted by the privacy rule?

Yes, the Security Rule requires covered entities (CEs) to implement safeguards to protect against unauthorized uses or disclosures of protected health information (PHI). This includes ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic PHI (ePHI) as mandated by the Privacy Rule. The Security Rule complements the Privacy Rule by providing specific security measures to address risks and vulnerabilities associated with electronic data. Therefore, CEs must take proactive steps to prevent any unauthorized access or disclosure of PHI.
