HIPAA Alignment You Can Verify, Not Just Trust
We build to the Security Rule safeguards with controls documented layer by layer, so your compliance program can inspect what we do instead of believing what we claim.
Compliant Is a Word. Controls Are Evidence.
The question that matters is not whether a vendor says compliant, but which controls exist and who can inspect them.
HIPAA asks covered entities to ensure their vendors protect PHI, which in practice means your compliance program needs to evaluate ours. We make that evaluation concrete. Administrative safeguards show up as written policies, access reviews, and training rhythms. Technical safeguards show up as encryption, access control, audit logging, and integrity monitoring, each mapped to where it lives in the stack. Documentation ships in a pack written for your counsel and compliance officer, aligned to the safeguards so mapping is easy. Where a control is shared responsibility, like your workstations or your staff training, the documentation says so plainly instead of pretending vendors cover what only you can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for practice owners and office managers evaluating HIPAA alignment.
Do you complete our Security Risk Assessment for us?
We provide the vendor-side documentation your assessment needs: controls, mappings, and evidence. The assessment itself and the risk decisions remain yours, as they should.
What is in the compliance pack?
Safeguard mappings, policy summaries, data flow diagrams, subprocessor lists, access model documentation, and logging descriptions, written for humans and organized for review.
How do you handle changes that affect compliance?
Changes touch the pack: material changes trigger documentation updates and, where relevant, a conversation with your compliance contact before they ship.
Who is responsible if something goes wrong?
The BAA defines obligations on both sides, and the shared responsibility documentation prevents the gray areas where vendors hide. We are specific on purpose.
