HIPAA compliance,
built to last.

A structured, continuously maintained HIPAA compliance program — risk assessments, policy libraries, staff training, and audit-ready documentation that satisfies regulators and insurers.

The challenge

What healthcare practices face every day.

HIPAA compliance is not a one-time project. It requires a structured, documented, and continuously maintained program. Most practices are more exposed than they realize.

Annual Risk Assessment Gap

HIPAA requires a documented risk analysis every year. Most practices have either never done one formally, or did one years ago and haven't repeated it. This is the single most common HIPAA deficiency.

No Policy Library

Written privacy and security policies are required. Without them, there is no framework for staff to follow — and no documentation to present to a regulator or insurer in the event of a breach.

Staff Training Not Documented

HIPAA requires workforce training and documentation of who received it. Annual checkbox training that isn't tracked or documented does not satisfy the requirement.

BAA Management

Every vendor who touches PHI requires a signed Business Associate Agreement. Most practices have incomplete BAA inventories and cannot confirm all required agreements are in place.

Access Control Gaps

HIPAA requires minimum necessary access to PHI. In most practices, access controls are not regularly reviewed — former employees, temporary staff, and overprivileged accounts create unnecessary exposure.

No Breach Response Plan

HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requires a documented incident response and notification procedure. Most practices have no tested plan — and discover this at the worst possible moment.
