What is a HIPAA audit
And Why Do You Need One
Audits Are Mandated
45 CFR § 162 states that a recurring compliance assessment is required. Do not risk the massive fines for a violation. On average, our audits identify and correct 33 violations per provider on their first audit!Practice Security
Our independent audits protect you financially and legally. When you perform your due diligence by hiring independent professionals to perform your security assessment, you are no longer liable in the event of a breach.Cyber Security
Our audit includes an entire network security audit as required by the HITECH act. This audit will show you the holes in your security that are easily fixable but extremely damaging if left undiscovered.Ransomware Detection
The cybersecurity portion of our audits will even identify dormant ransomware infections you may otherwise not catch until they are activated. Dentists are a major target for attacks.Staff Education
Has your HIPAA compliance officer been properly trained? Many compliance officers have never had any formal training on the HIPAA and HITECH requirements. Our assessment will help to educate your staff and keep you protected!Cost Effective
An assessment is a small one time fee that protects you from HHS fines, employee theft, malware attacks, loss of patient data, and so much more. The cost of refusing to get your required HIPAA assessment is infinitely higher.
164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) states:
RISK ANALYSIS (Required).
Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the [organization].
This can be resolved in as little as 30 minutes. Even if violations are found, we will provide the best solutions possible for little to no cost.
NOT CURRENTLY COMPLIANT?
DO NOT STRESS
Whether you have already had a past HIPAA assessment, or you have been out of compliance for years, all that is erased once you get your practice up to spec.
Quick Violation Resolution: It is possible that your practice may be in violation of the current requirements. If this is the case, we will provide solutions along with our assessment. You can implement these solutions in whatever way you like, and in the most efficient way possible. In some cases, the fix is as simple as hitting print and putting a document in your file cabinet!
Free Re-assessment: We guarantee that every provider who follows the process will end with a passing certification. In the event a violation is found, the assessment will be put on hold pending resolution of the violated subsections. Once all requirements are met, we will then provide you with a complete HIPAA certification, a binder showing all details of the assessment, and all notes and discoveries made during the audit.
Your Security Partner: We are your confidential security partner. Our job is to work with you to find ways to assure your office is in compliance. As we are professionals on the requirements, we are commonly able to come up with creative approaches to assure that you can do business the way you always have, without being liable for any violations and without any massive costs for correction of potential violations.
HOW LONG DOES A HIPAA AUDIT TAKE?
The audit timeline includes the initial assessment, where we review policies, procedures, and documentation related to HIPAA compliance. This phase is followed by an on-site visit or remote assessment, depending on the audit scope. During this stage, we conduct interviews, assesses physical and technical safeguards, and evaluates staff awareness and training. This can take up to 2 weeks. However, in many cases we require only 30 minutes on-site at each location being audited.
