HIPAA Compliance Consulting for Healthcare Tech
HIPAA compliance programs and vCISO services for B2B SaaS and consulting firms handling protected health information.
Comprehensive HIPAA Compliance Consulting & End-to-End Privacy and Security Program Build
HIPAA establishes the US federal floor for protecting individually identifiable health information across the Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules. Compliance is operational, not certifiable. HHS Office for Civil Rights investigates complaints, breaches, and conducts proactive compliance reviews. The January 2025 Security Rule NPRM proposes the most significant uplift since 2003: mandatory encryption, explicit MFA on all ePHI access, annual risk analysis with documented methodology, and 12-month penetration testing cadence. Building to the proposed standard now avoids expensive remediation later.
Security Consultants designs HIPAA programs for covered entities and business associates that hold up under OCR review and enterprise customer due diligence. We deliver the risk analysis under NIST SP 800-30 methodology, the full Privacy and Security Rule policy stack, BAA templates and vendor remediation, the four-factor breach risk assessment workflow, and workforce training. For organizations that need ongoing program leadership, our vCISO subscription operates the program against the six-year documentation retention and annual risk analysis cycle. Where enterprise customers require independent attestation alongside HIPAA, we run the program in parallel with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 on a shared evidence base.

Risk Analysis Built to Survive OCR Scrutiny
We deliver the 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) Risk Analysis to NIST SP 800-30 methodology with documented ePHI inventory, threat catalog, likelihood and impact rationale, and a Risk Management Plan tied to safeguard implementation. Refreshed annually and on material change.

Business Associate Agreement Program
BAA templates, vendor inventory remediation, subcontractor flow-down enforcement, and execution workflows for both upstream covered entity contracts and downstream subcontractor agreements. The vendor BAA register stays current.
2025 Security Rule NPRM-Aligned Build
We build to the January 2025 Security Rule NPRM: mandatory encryption at rest and in transit, MFA on all ePHI access, annual technical asset inventory, network mapping, and 12-month penetration testing cadence. Avoid expensive uplift when the rule finalizes.
HIPAA + SOC 2 or ISO 27001 on One Evidence Base
Enterprise healthcare customers contractually require SOC 2 or ISO 27001 alongside HIPAA. We design the program once, build a shared control library, and deliver the attestation that wins the deal without doubling the engineering load.
A proven, methodical
approach
Project Kick-Off & Setup
We start with a project kick-off where the manager sets up your engagement in our project management platform. We confirm your role (covered entity, business associate, or hybrid), define milestones, name a Security Officer and Privacy Officer if not already designated, and agree the communication plan.
ePHI Scoping & Risk Analysis
We map ePHI flows across your products, infrastructure, workforce, and vendors. The 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) Risk Analysis runs to NIST SP 800-30 methodology with documented threats, vulnerabilities, likelihood, impact, and treatment decisions. The output drives every downstream safeguard and policy decision.
Privacy, Security & Breach Notification Rule Gap Analysis
We assess your environment against 45 CFR 164.308 (administrative), 164.310 (physical), 164.312 (technical), 164.314 (organizational), and 164.316 (documentation). For covered entities we also gap the Privacy Rule at 164.500 through 164.534. Findings are prioritized by OCR enforcement risk, not generic severity.
Documentation & Policy Stack
We deliver the mandatory documentation set: Information Security Policy, workforce sanction policy, incident response and breach notification procedure with the 60-day clock, contingency plan, access control and encryption policies, BAA template, and Notice of Privacy Practices for covered entities. Documentation is built for the six-year retention requirement under 164.316.
BAA Program & Technical Safeguards
We execute the BAA program upstream (covered entity contracts) and downstream (subcontractor flow-down), close vendor gaps before processing continues, and remediate technical safeguards: phishing-resistant MFA on all ePHI access, encryption at rest and in transit on NIST-approved algorithms, centralized audit logging, and quarterly access reviews. Built to the 2025 NPRM standard.
Operations, vCISO & Ongoing Assurance
Once the program is live, our vCISO subscription operates annual risk analysis refresh, workforce training, IR tabletop and contingency plan testing, BAA renewal tracking, and breach risk assessment readiness. Where enterprise customers require independent attestation, we run the program in parallel with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 on the same evidence base.
