"Covered entities must ensure that they obtain satisfactory assurances required by the Rules from their business associates, and business associates must do the same with regard to subcontractors, and so on, no matter how far 'down the chain' the information flows."
The fines for violations of the new rule can go as high as $1.5 million per violation."
