5. Industry-Specific Applications
6. Enterprise Applications
7. Infrastructure and Data Center
8. Application Development
9. Architecture

    I call it the just enough approach to security in healthcare. Although, it’s not “just enough” to be compliant or “just enough” to be secure. It’s “just enough” to sleep at night.

    It’s an interesting point (if I understand you correctly). I can’t think of much of anything in MU2 that makes a practice more secure with the exception of the risk assessment.
