HARP

HCQIS Access Roles and Profile (HARP) is a secure identity management portal provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Creating an account via HARP provides users with a user ID and password that can be used to sign into many CMS applications. It also provides a single location for users to modify their user profile, change their password, update their challenge question, and add and remove two-factor authentication devices.

ZSCALER

Zscaler is a cloud hosted, HIDS supported service that is currently available to end users within HCQIS organizations.  Zscaler was chosen, piloted and deployed due to its ease of use, tight security and cost feasibility.  Zscaler will be the preferred method to access tools and applications residing on the HCQIS network as we push towards phasing out our current VDI and VPN connectivity technologies.
