HIPAA Security Rule Assessment
Know where your HIPAA gaps are before a breach or OCR investigation does. SOClogix delivers a structured Security Rule assessment with a written gap report and prioritized remediation roadmap - not a checkbox exercise.
Who This Assessment Is For
HIPAA's Security Rule applies to any organization that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits electronic protected health information (ePHI). If that's you - or if you work with organizations that handle ePHI - this assessment is relevant.
Covered Entities: hospitals, clinics, physician practices, dental offices, and pharmacies
Business Associates: healthcare IT vendors, billing companies, MSPs, and SaaS platforms handling ePHI
Healthcare organizations preparing for a HIPAA audit or OCR investigation
Organizations that have experienced a breach and need to document their remediation efforts
Any healthcare organization that has grown or changed systems in the last 24 months and hasn't re-assessed
The Stakes Are Real
OCR (the HHS Office for Civil Rights) resolved 34,077 cases resulting in corrective action or technical assistance in fiscal year 2023. Civil monetary penalties can reach $1.9M per violation category per year. More importantly, a breach affecting unsecured ePHI triggers mandatory notification requirements - and reputational consequences that outlast any fine.
The HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C) requires covered entities to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI.
