Description

About MEDvidi

MEDvidi is a multi-state telehealth practice delivering behavioral health and psychiatric services through a licensed Professional Corporation structure. As our organization and provider workforce continue to grow, protecting highly sensitive behavioral-health information and maintaining a strong, operational HIPAA security program are critical to our continued success.

We are seeking an experienced Information Security Officer (ISO) to own and operate MEDvidis HIPAA Security Program.

About the Role

The Information Security Officer will have end-to-end ownership of MEDvidis information security program, with particular responsibility for safeguarding electronic protected health information (ePHI).

You will inherit a completed Security Risk Analysis and be responsible for turning identified risks and recommendations into a sustainable operating program. This includes remediation execution, ongoing risk management, technical and administrative safeguards, vendor security, incident response, security policies, and security compliance.

This is a hands-on ownership role for someone comfortable independently running a security program in a lean, fast-moving healthcare environment.

Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as MEDvidis designated HIPAA Security Official under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(2).
• Own the organizations security risk analysis and ongoing risk-management cycle, including maintaining the risk register and driving remediation items to closure.
• Develop, operate, document, and maintain HIPAA administrative safeguards, including workforce security, access authorization, security awareness and training, incident procedures, and contingency planning.
• Partner with IT to implement and maintain technical safeguards involving access controls, authentication, audit controls, data integrity, logging, and encryption of ePHI in transit and at rest.
• Maintain security policies for MEDvidis distributed workforce, including workstation security, device and media controls, and remote-work ePHI handling.
• Own the security incident response process, including detection, containment, forensics coordination, documentation, and annual tabletop exercises.
• Partner with the Privacy Officer on breach investigations and other areas where privacy and security requirements overlap.
• Lead vendor and Business Associate security diligence, including security questionnaires, SOC 2/HITRUST reviews, subcontractor risk, and remediation of security findings.
• Support security architecture and tooling decisions involving telehealth platforms, EHR access, endpoint management, logging, and SIEM coverage.
• Review the security implications of AI tools and AI-assisted security and compliance processes used within the organization.
• Manage and operate MEDvidis GRC platform in partnership with Compliance leadership.
• Monitor changes to the HIPAA Security Rule and help MEDvidi assess and implement new requirements as they become applicable.

Requirements

Required Qualifications

• 6+ years of information security experience.
• 2+ years of experience in healthcare or another regulated ePHI/PII environment.
• Demonstrated hands-on ownership of a HIPAA security program or equivalent regulated security program; advisory-only experience is not sufficient.
• Strong working knowledge of the HIPAA Security Rule.
• Working knowledge of at least one relevant security/control framework, such as:
• NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0
• NIST SP 800-66r2
• HITRUST

• Strong risk-based prioritization, practical control implementation, and security documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• CISSP, HCISPP, CISM, or equivalent certification.

• Cloud security experience with AWS, Azure, and/or GCP.
• Experience leading security incident response.
• Experience working with fractional or external security resources, penetration testers, and independent security advisors.
• Familiarity with evolving HIPAA Security Rule requirements.

What Success Looks Like

During your first year, you will be expected to establish a mature, well-documented, and operational security program. Key outcomes include:

• Closing Security Risk Analysis remediation items or placing them on documented, formally accepted remediation schedules.
• Maintaining a security policy suite mapped to applicable HIPAA safeguards, with clear owners, review cadences, and evidence.
