HIPAA Security Assessment & Compliance Advisory
The required risk analysis. The gap report. The remediation plan. Done right.
HIPAA compliance advisory for covered entities and business associates who need a real risk analysis — not a checklist — from someone who understands both the regulation and the technology.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires a formal risk analysis — but most covered entities and business associates don't know what "sufficient" looks like until OCR shows up and tells them it wasn't. The average healthcare data breach costs $10.9M. OCR enforcement actions are increasing every year.
Most practices and BAs are navigating this without a dedicated compliance officer. The regulation is clear that the risk analysis is required — but it's not clear what form it needs to take, how thorough it needs to be, or how to connect it to a remediation plan that actually reduces risk.
What We Deliver
Documentation and remediation guidance that meets OCR expectations and holds up under audit scrutiny.
- Required risk analysis (per 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1))
- Gap assessment against all three HIPAA rules (Privacy, Security, Breach Notification)
- Remediation plan with prioritized action items
- Policy and procedure templates scaled to your organization
- Business Associate Agreement (BAA) review
- Workforce training guidance and awareness materials
What OCR Looks For First
