HIPAA Compliance & Risk Assessments
Healthcare data protection and compliance support aligned with HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a federal law that protects the privacy and security of healthcare information. For covered entities and business associates in the healthcare industry, HIPAA compliance is not optional—it is mandatory.
The HIPAA Security Rule and Privacy Rule establish standards for how Protected Health Information (PHI) must be managed, secured, and protected. Non-compliance can result in substantial fines, loss of trust, and legal liability.
Why HIPAA Compliance Matters
- Protect patient privacy and maintain trust with your organization's stakeholders
- Avoid penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation
- Meet contractual obligations with payers, partners, and healthcare systems
- Build secure, compliant systems that enable business growth
