Comprehensive HIPAA Risk Assessments for Healthcare Compliance

Ensure your organization’s HIPAA compliance and PHI (protected health information) security with InfoSight’s expert HIPAA risk assessment services—designed to meet regulatory requirements, bolster legal defenses, and safeguard patient trust.

A HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) risk assessment is mandatory for healthcare providers, payers, and any organization handling protected health information (PHI).

This essential compliance step helps you:

Meet legal requirements under HIPAA and HITECH.

Protect sensitive PHI from unauthorized access and breaches.

Validate HIPAA compliance for audits and certification.

Strengthen legal defenses against potential fines and lawsuits.

Maintain your organization’s reputation by avoiding data breaches.

By conducting a thorough HIPAA risk assessment, you demonstrate due diligence in safeguarding patient data and ensure a secure, trustworthy healthcare environment.

The Challenge

Navigating HIPAA regulations is complex due to overlapping rules for privacy, security, and breach notification. Healthcare organizations face:
