HIPAA Compliance & Security
Technical safeguards aligned with HIPAA Security Rule requirements. Not a checkbox exercise — a structured program of encryption, access control, logging, and documentation that your practice can actually defend.
What HIPAA actually requires
The HIPAA Security Rule at 45 C.F.R. Part 164 Subpart C requires covered entities and their business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI. Our job covers the technical safeguards — access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, transmission security, encryption at rest, and incident response procedures.
The documentation question
HIPAA isn’t just about having the controls. It’s about being able to prove you have them. If the Office for Civil Rights ever investigates a complaint or audits your practice, verbal assurances don’t help. Written documentation does.
Every technical safeguard we implement, we document. Configuration standards, change logs, incident records, access reviews — the evidence you need to demonstrate good faith compliance.
The BAA, briefly
Federal law requires a signed Business Associate Agreement between your practice and any vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on your behalf. Our standard BAA covers PHI safeguards, 15-day breach notification, subcontractor flow-through obligations, and HITECH compliance.
