Annual Privacy and Security Training

Annual privacy and security training helps maintain compliance with HUD HMIS Data Standards and local HMIS governance requirements while fostering trust with clients and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. By completing this training each year, HMIS users demonstrate their commitment to protecting client data and supporting a secure and effective homeless response system.

This training reviews the Data Privacy and Security Standards required in the Federal HMIS Standards. We address the HMIS User and the agency's responsibility related to HMIS Security. We review Client Rights related to HMIS data entry, explain Data Visibility, and review the HMIS Release of Information.
