Healthcare breaches cost $10.93M on average and OCR audits are increasing. We help clinics, hospitals, and health-tech companies pass HIPAA audits, protect patient data, and avoid costly penalties. Fixed-scope engagements. Clear reports. No surprises.
These are the challenges healthcare organizations tell us about every day.
You handle PHI but have never done a formal security risk assessment. You know you should, but don't know where to start — and you're worried about what you'll find.
An OCR investigation, insurance audit, or partner due diligence is on the horizon. You need to get compliant fast, but your internal team is already stretched thin.
Patient data may have been exposed. You need to contain the incident, notify the right parties, and put controls in place — but the 60-day notification clock is ticking.
Your last risk assessment was years ago — or you've never had one. Policies were copied from templates and never customized. Staff hasn't been trained on HIPAA in years.
You're adding locations, launching telehealth, or onboarding new vendors. Every expansion creates new HIPAA obligations — and your current processes can't keep up.
Hiring a HIPAA compliance officer costs $80K-$150K+ per year. You need the expertise without the headcount — someone who knows healthcare security inside and out.
Everything you need to get compliant and stay compliant.
The foundation of HIPAA compliance — and the first thing OCR checks. We identify every threat and vulnerability to your ePHI, evaluate your current safeguards, and deliver a prioritized remediation roadmap. Meets §164.308(a)(1) requirements.
We map your current state against all HIPAA Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule requirements. You get a clear gap report with specific, actionable fixes — not a 200-page document that gathers dust.
Custom HIPAA policies tailored to your organization — not boilerplate templates. Covers access controls, encryption, workstation security, incident response, sanctions, and all 54 Security Rule implementation specifications.
Healthcare-specific penetration testing targeting EHR systems, HL7/FHIR interfaces, medical devices, patient portals, and telehealth platforms. We find the vulnerabilities before attackers do.
If a breach occurs, we help you contain it, conduct the required investigation, perform the four-factor risk assessment, and manage OCR/state notification requirements within required timelines.

Common questions about HIPAA compliance.
Most organizations can achieve HIPAA compliance in 4-8 weeks with structured guidance. The timeline depends on your current security posture, organization size, and the scope of PHI handling. We start with a free gap check to give you an accurate timeline and fixed-scope quote.
A HIPAA security risk assessment (SRA) is a systematic evaluation of your organization's safeguards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). It's required under the HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(1) and is the #1 thing OCR looks for during an audit. The assessment identifies threats, evaluates current controls, determines risk levels, and produces a prioritized remediation plan.
HIPAA compliance consulting typically ranges from $5,000 to $50,000+ depending on organization size and complexity. A standalone security risk assessment for a small clinic may start around $5,000, while a comprehensive compliance program for a multi-location health system will be higher. We provide fixed-scope pricing with no surprises — book a free gap check for a specific quote.
Yes. Every covered entity that handles protected health information (PHI) must comply with HIPAA, regardless of size. This includes solo practitioners, small clinics, dental offices, mental health practices, and any business associate that handles PHI on their behalf. OCR audits target organizations of all sizes — in fact, small practices are often more vulnerable because they lack dedicated security resources.
HIPAA violations can result in fines from $141 to $2.13M per violation depending on the tier of negligence. Beyond fines, organizations face corrective action plans, mandatory monitoring periods, and significant reputational damage. In severe cases involving willful neglect, criminal penalties including imprisonment may apply. The most common finding? Failing to conduct a security risk assessment.
Yes. We provide breach response services including containment, forensic investigation, the required four-factor risk assessment to determine if notification is necessary, and assistance with OCR breach reporting and state notification requirements. HIPAA requires notification to affected individuals within 60 days — we help you respond correctly and on time.
