HIPAA Compliance Assessment
There are approximately 3 million companies including hospitals, emergency medical clinics, dental offices, nursing homes, and other health related entities that are required by law to have a specialized IT risk assessment performed to satisfy the requirements of HIPAA. Leon Rodriguez, the former director of the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was responsible for enforcing HIPAA and HITECH laws while in office. When he was asked where entities suffer the most audit failures, his response was they they “fail to preform a comprehensive, thorough risk analysis and apply the results of that analysis.” To help organizations such as yours ensure they don’t fall into the same trap, we preform a comprehensive analysis of your organization detailing your:
