The pain

HIPAA isn't going away. OCR enforcement isn't either.

The 2023โ€“2025 settlements show a clear pattern:

Most healthcare organizations end up with binders full of policies they can't operate, gaps they can't see, and a Privacy Officer holding it together with sticky notes. You don't need another binder. You need the right policies, the right risk view, and a plan to close gaps.

What's inside

Operational, not aspirational

1. HIPAA audit checklist

Mapped to actual CFR citations. Privacy Rule, Security Rule (administrative, physical, technical safeguards), and Breach Notification Rule. Required vs. addressable specifications clearly marked. Evidence prompts on every control.

2. Seven professional policies Pro

  • Privacy Policy โ€” uses, disclosures, patient rights, minimum necessary
  • Security Policy โ€” administrative, physical, technical safeguards
  • Breach Notification Policy โ€” four-factor risk assessment, 60-day individual + HHS pathway
  • Access Control Policy โ€” unique IDs, MFA, emergency access, sensitive-record monitoring
  • Audit Logging Policy โ€” 6-year retention, daily review, sensitive-record alerts
  • Workforce Training Policy โ€” new-hire, annual, role-specific, sanctions
  • Business Associate Policy โ€” BA inventory, BAA terms, oversight, subcontractor flow-down

3. Gap analysis template

Privacy, Security (Administrative/Physical/Technical), and Breach Notification rules in side-by-side current vs. target format. Priority, owner, timeline, budget โ€” ready to drive remediation.

4. HIPAA-specific risk matrix

5ร—5 probability/impact matrix with 10 worked HIPAA scenarios: lost device, phishing email compromise, ransomware on clinical systems, insider snooping, BA breach, improper family disclosure, misdirected fax/email, paper PHI disposal, unsecure clinician texting, legacy-system logging gaps. Each with current controls, gaps, mitigation actions, target score, and timeline.

5. 12-month implementation roadmap

Four phases โ€” Foundation & Risk Analysis, Core Controls & Workforce Readiness, Maturation & Monitoring, Optimization & Audit-Ready Posture. Month-by-month activities, owners, costs ($480Kโ€“$780K reference enterprise budget; $60Kโ€“$150K compressed path for single-clinic / sub-50 workforce). Success metrics per phase.

6. NPP template + BAA clause checklist

The two documents you actually need to ship to patients and vendors. NPP template aligned with current OCR guidance; BAA checklist mapping every required clause to 45 CFR 164.504(e).

Who this is for

Covered entities, business associates, and the people who serve them

Solo practices to health systems

Whether you're a single-provider practice or a multi-hospital system, the framework scales. The compressed path is built for smaller covered entities.

Business Associates

SaaS vendors, billing companies, IT support, transcription, analytics. BAs are directly liable for HIPAA compliance under HITECH; this gives you the audit-ready posture customers will demand.

Healthcare-adjacent tech startups

If you're building anything that will touch PHI, you need this before you ship. Sales cycles unblock when you can hand a prospect a BAA and a SOC 2 / HIPAA package.

MSPs serving healthcare clients

Standardize how you operate HIPAA programs across clients.

New Privacy / Security Officers

Inherited a HIPAA program with no documentation? This is your day-90 deliverable.

What you'll save

OCR fines for findings this directly addresses routinely exceed $100K

FAQ

Common questions

Does this satisfy the Security Rule risk analysis requirement (164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A))?

The package gives you the methodology, the matrix, and 10 worked examples โ€” which is most of the heavy lifting. Operating the analysis (identifying your assets and threats, scoring your risks, getting leadership signoff) is still your work, by design. OCR expects the analysis to reflect your environment, not a generic template.

Is this for Covered Entities or Business Associates?

Both. The policies and roadmap explicitly call out where the obligations differ.

Does it include the Notice of Privacy Practices?

Yes โ€” Standard tier and above include the NPP template aligned with current OCR guidance.

HITECH and the Omnibus Rule?

Covered. BAs and subcontractors are treated as directly liable, breach notification is included, and BAA terms reflect post-Omnibus requirements.

Can I use this for state laws (CMIA, Texas HB 300, etc.)?

The package is HIPAA-focused. State law overlays โ€” particularly stricter consent and notification rules โ€” are flagged but not exhaustively addressed. Your privacy team or counsel should layer state-specific requirements on top.

Refund?

30-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
