Ansible Role for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Profile Description:
The HIPAA Security Rule establishes U.S. national standards to protect individuals’
electronic personal health information that is created, received, used, or
maintained by a covered entity. The Security Rule requires appropriate

information.
This profile configures Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to the HIPAA Security
Rule identified for securing of electronic protected health information.
Use of this profile in no way guarantees or makes claims against legal compliance against the HIPAA Security Rule(s).

The tasks that are used in this role are generated using OpenSCAP.
