Penalties reach $2.1M per violation category per year. Healthcare breaches average over $10M per incident.
Security Rule Safeguards
- Administrative safeguards: security officer, workforce training, incident response
- Physical safeguards: facility access, workstation security, media disposal
- Technical safeguards: encryption, access controls, audit logging
- Annual Security Risk Assessment per NIST SP 800-30
Privacy and Breach Rules
- Privacy Rule: PHI use/disclosure, patient rights, minimum necessary standards
- Breach Notification: 60-day reporting window to HHS and affected individuals
- Business Associate Agreements required for all PHI-handling vendors
- Omnibus Rule: direct BA liability, enhanced enforcement

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment?
A comprehensive evaluation of risks to your ePHI required by 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1). The OCR cites failure to perform one as the most common violation. Our SRA follows NIST SP 800-30 methodology with AI-accelerated control mapping.
How quickly can my practice become HIPAA compliant?
Our Secure Enclave gets you to approximately 80% compliance within 30 days. Full compliance is achieved over a 12-month engagement covering policies, training, testing, and remediation. Be cautious of vendors promising instant compliance.
What are the penalties for HIPAA non-compliance?
Four tiers based on negligence: $141 to $2,134,831 per violation. Criminal penalties include imprisonment for knowing violations. Healthcare breaches average over $10M in total costs per the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report.
Can my existing IT provider handle HIPAA compliance?
Not recommended. Compliance requires separation of duties between IT operations and cybersecurity oversight. Having your IT provider audit their own work is a conflict of interest that auditors will flag. We provide the independent compliance layer.
What is included in your compliance packages?
Secure Enclave deployment, 18+ customized policies, security awareness training, annual SRA, annual penetration testing, endpoint security, gap analysis with POA&M, and ongoing support. All powered by ComplianceArmor. See our compliance packages for tier details.
Does HIPAA compliance satisfy MACRA/MIPS requirements?
Yes. Our annual SRA satisfies the MIPS Promoting Interoperability security risk assessment measure. We provide the documentation needed for your MIPS attestation reporting.
