Millions of dollars. That could be the price of a penalty for a HIPAA breach. In today’s financial environment, no healthcare organization can afford a steep penalty – and that doesn’t include the harm to reputation, potential loss of revenue and cost to rapidly upgrade and secure systems.
HIPAA compliance consultants with ComplyAssistant can help prepare and protect you against potential breaches. All of our healthcare cybersecurity service engagements are designed to be comprehensive and directive so you are armed with an analysis and action plan to improve your HIPAA compliance protocols.
Our consultants document each component for risk level, compliance level, current processes and controls, gaps and future plans.

If you choose to partner with ComplyAssistant, our expert HIPAA consultants will sit down with you one-on-one. We’ll start by documenting all the places where protected healthcare information (PHI) can exist in your organization. For each of those areas, we’ll work with you to review your current controls, determine where gaps may exist and decide if risk mitigation is required.

- Conduct security risk assessments (SRAs), including
- Conducting periodic, ongoing risk assessments of HIPAA rules
- Documenting, adopting and maintaining internal operational policies and procedures
- Training your workforce on how to stay HIPAA compliant

- Developing your business associate (BA) inventory

The results – and subsequent action plan that we’ll provide – are stored in ComplyAssistant’s cloud-based healthcare compliance software. You can easily access your action plan to assign tasks for ongoing management and governance.
We want to work for you! Our goal is to help prepare and protect you by assessing and maintaining your HIPAA compliance standards. Our HIPAA consultants, in tandem with our healthcare compliance software, are a unique and holistic solution for any organization.
WHO WE SERVE
ComplyAssistant’s HIPAA compliance consulting services are designed for covered entities and business associates operating across a range of healthcare settings and organizational structures.
Business Associates
Technology vendors, billing companies, managed service providers, legal and financial firms, and other third-party organizations that access, process, or handle PHI on behalf of covered entities — and are therefore subject to direct HIPAA enforcement under the HITECH Act.
Covered Entities
Hospitals, health systems, outpatient clinics, specialty practices, long-term care and senior living facilities, telehealth and remote care providers, and health plans that store, transmit, or maintain protected health information (PHI) in any format.
Organizations Responding to Regulatory Action
Covered entities and business associates that have received an OCR complaint, audit notice, or corrective action plan, and require experienced compliance support to navigate the resolution process.
Organizations Without Dedicated Compliance Staff
Healthcare organizations that lack a qualified HIPAA Privacy Officer, Security Officer, or internal compliance team, and require external expertise to build and maintain a compliant program.
We Provide Support For A Range Of Information Security Frameworks.
In addition to our HIPAA compliance consultants, we can assist with information security frameworks like HITRUST, PCI and NIST. Each framework has a different structure and may not be applicable to every facility. We can help you decide which framework is right for your organization, and guide you through adoption and ongoing maintenance.
FAQs About HIPAA Compliance Services
Can HIPAA compliance services help if we are already under investigation?
Yes. HIPAA compliance consultants can help organizations respond to OCR investigations or audits by organizing documentation, performing risk assessments, addressing compliance gaps, and implementing corrective action plans.
Do small healthcare practices need HIPAA compliance services?
Yes. HIPAA requirements apply regardless of the size of the organization. Small practices often benefit from compliance services because they may not have a dedicated Privacy or Security Officer internally.
How do we know if our organization is currently HIPAA compliant?
The only reliable way to determine HIPAA compliance is through a formal Security Risk Assessment (SRA) and review of your administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. This process identifies gaps in policies, technical controls, documentation, and workforce practices that may expose the organization to compliance risk.
Can HIPAA compliance services help prevent data breaches?
While no program can guarantee that breaches will never occur, a properly implemented HIPAA compliance program significantly reduces risk by identifying vulnerabilities, improving safeguards, training staff, and establishing incident response procedures.
What should organizations look for when choosing HIPAA compliance services?
Organizations should look for a HIPAA compliance partner with proven healthcare experience who can provide documented Security Risk Assessments aligned with OCR guidance. The partner should also deliver clear remediation support, ongoing compliance monitoring, and centralized documentation to keep the organization audit-ready.
Can HIPAA compliance services help manage vendor risks?
Yes. HIPAA compliance services often include vendor risk management and Business Associate Agreement (BAA) oversight. This ensures that vendors handling PHI meet security and privacy requirements and that proper contractual agreements are in place.
