The required risk analysis. The gap report. The remediation plan. Done right.

The HIPAA Challenge

The HIPAA Security Rule requires a formal risk analysis — but most covered entities and business associates don't know what "sufficient" looks like until OCR shows up and tells them it wasn't. The average healthcare data breach costs $10.9M. OCR enforcement actions are increasing every year.

Most practices and BAs are navigating this without a dedicated compliance officer. The regulation is clear that the risk analysis is required — but it's not clear what form it needs to take, how thorough it needs to be, or how to connect it to a remediation plan that actually reduces risk.

What We Deliver

Documentation and remediation guidance that meets OCR expectations and holds up under audit scrutiny.

  • Required risk analysis (per 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1))
  • Gap assessment against all three HIPAA rules (Privacy, Security, Breach Notification)
  • Remediation plan with prioritized action items
  • Policy and procedure templates scaled to your organization
  • Business Associate Agreement (BAA) review
  • Workforce training guidance and awareness materials

What OCR Looks For First

  • Documented risk analysis covering all ePHI
  • Risk management plan addressing identified risks
  • Sanction policy for workforce violations
  • Information system activity review process
  • Audit controls on systems containing ePHI

  • Organizations that received an OCR inquiry or breach notification
  • Practices onboarding a new EHR system or cloud vendor

Security and Healthcare Expertise

Jonathan Carpenter brings deep HIPAA Security Rule expertise built from real-world application — not just framework study.
