Your HIPAA Risk Assessment Starts Here
Every healthcare practice handling patient data is required to conduct a HIPAA risk assessment. We identify the gaps in your security before the OCR — or a hacker — finds them first.

What We Evaluate
A Risk Assessment Built for Real Practices
Not a generic checkbox exercise. We evaluate your actual workflows, systems, and staff behavior to find the risks that matter.
Administrative Safeguards
Security policies, workforce training, access management, incident response procedures, and business associate agreements.
Physical Safeguards
Facility access controls, workstation security, device disposal procedures, and physical media protection.
Technical Safeguards
Encryption, access controls, audit logging, transmission security, endpoint protection, and authentication mechanisms.
Documentation & Compliance
Policy documentation, risk register, remediation plans, and evidence packages for OCR audit readiness.

Not Having a Risk Assessment Is a HIPAA Violation
The OCR has fined practices millions for failing to conduct a risk assessment — even when no breach occurred. Under 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1), every covered entity must perform a thorough and accurate assessment of potential risks to ePHI. It is not optional. It is the single most common finding in HIPAA enforcement actions.
HIPAA Risk Assessment FAQ
Most assessments take 1-2 weeks depending on practice size. A small clinic with one location typically completes in 5-7 business days. Multi-location practices may take 2-3 weeks. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption to patient care.
Yes. The HIPAA Security Rule requires all covered entities to conduct a risk assessment regardless of breach history. The OCR has issued fines exceeding $1 million to practices that never experienced a breach but failed to perform the required assessment. It is the #1 most cited HIPAA violation.
There is no pass or fail. The assessment identifies gaps and vulnerabilities in your current security posture. We provide a prioritized remediation plan with clear steps to address each finding. Most practices have gaps — the goal is to find and fix them before an auditor or attacker does.
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with in-house IT teams and managed service providers. We can deliver findings and remediation guidance directly to your IT team, or we can implement the fixes ourselves. Either way, you get a complete compliance package.
Cost depends on practice size, number of locations, and complexity of your systems. We offer free discovery calls to scope the engagement and provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins. No surprises.
