Safeguards implemented technically, business associate obligations tracked, and evidence captured as it happens — so an inquiry becomes a review of work already done.
Straight Talk
There is no HIPAA certification body and no certificate to hang on a wall. Compliance is a posture demonstrated through implemented safeguards and the documentation showing they were operating. What we do is make the safeguards real and the evidence continuous — the rest is a claim, and claims don’t survive an OCR inquiry.
What’s Included
A clear picture of where protected health information is created, stored, transmitted, and backed up.
Individual accounts with minimum-necessary permissions, so the audit log can answer who opened which record.
Data protected at rest and in transit, including the fax and email paths people still quietly use.
A register of every vendor touching PHI, agreement status, and what each one owes you.
Access and disclosure records retained and reviewable, rather than reconstructed after a question arrives.
The periodic assessment the rule actually requires, documented rather than assumed.
Common Questions
Yes. Any provider handling systems that touch PHI needs a BAA in place, and that includes us.
We handle the technical and much of the administrative safeguard work. Legal interpretation and policy sign-off stay with your counsel and privacy officer.
Equipment that can’t be patched gets isolated with compensating controls rather than left flat on the network.
Not whether you have a policy — whether the log can show who opened which record, on which date.
