HIPAA compliance forcovered entities and BAs.
Gap assessment, annual Security Risk Assessment, full policy suite, and ongoing attestation support — built for healthcare providers, health plans, and business associates handling PHI.
Overview
The federal standard for protecting patient data.
HIPAA sets national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. It applies to covered entities (providers, health plans, clearinghouses) and any business associate that creates, receives, or transmits PHI on their behalf.
The Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule together require administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI).
Federal requirement
Mandatory for any entity touching protected health information.
Severe penalties
Violations can reach $1.5M per category annually, plus criminal exposure for knowing breaches.
Patient trust
Demonstrates commitment to privacy — increasingly a procurement requirement for health systems.
Who this is for
Healthcare Providers
Hospitals, clinics, doctors, dentists, pharmacies, and other care delivery organizations.
Health Plans
Insurance companies, HMOs, and employer-sponsored health plans.
Clearinghouses
Entities that process health information between providers and payers.

FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask.
Who needs to be HIPAA compliant?+
Covered entities (providers, health plans, clearinghouses) and any business associate that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on their behalf.
How long does it take to become HIPAA compliant?+
Initial compliance typically takes 12–16 weeks depending on current state. HIPAA is ongoing — it requires annual Security Risk Assessments and continuous policy maintenance.
What is a Security Risk Assessment (SRA)?+
The SRA is a required annual analysis of risks and vulnerabilities to ePHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It evaluates your existing safeguards and identifies where additional measures are needed.
Do I need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?+
Yes. Covered entities must have signed BAAs with any business associate handling PHI. Business associates must in turn have BAAs with their subcontractors.
What are the penalties for HIPAA non-compliance?+
Civil penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with an annual cap of $1.5M per category. Criminal penalties for knowing violations can reach $250,000 and up to 10 years imprisonment.
How do you help with ongoing HIPAA compliance?+
We provide continuous support including annual SRAs, policy updates, employee training, incident response, and attestation assistance. HIPAA is not a one-time certification.
