Executive Risk Summary
A concise summary of where the organization stands, written for leadership, not just for compliance staff.
Healthcare Privacy & Compliance
Find the real HIPAA gaps.
Know what to fix first.
Most small healthcare organizations do not need another generic HIPAA checklist. They need to know where the real risks are, what matters most, and what to fix first.
The HIPAA Risk & Readiness Diagnostic provides a practical review of your privacy and security program, including policies, operational practices, vendor relationships, risk management, incident processes, and supporting evidence. You receive a prioritized findings report, remediation roadmap, and management dashboard designed to turn HIPAA requirements into clear, actionable work.

How it works
A four-stage methodology.
01
Understand
Collect and review relevant materials. One or two focused working sessions. No long discovery process.
02
Assess
Evaluate the organization against a structured HIPAA privacy and security framework: not just whether a policy exists, but whether requirements are understood, documented, implemented, assigned, and supported by evidence.
03
Prioritize
Classify findings as Critical, High, Moderate, or Low, and organize remediation into Now, Next, and Later.
04
Deliver
Provide practical management outputs your team can actually use, not a binder that sits on a shelf.
What you get
Deliverables built for management, not just for the file.
Detailed Findings Register
Each finding recorded with issue, applicable area, risk level, business impact, recommended action, suggested owner, and target timing.
Prioritized Remediation Roadmap
Organized into the first 30 days, 60 to 90 days, and longer-term improvements, so the work has a clear order.
HIPAA Risk Dashboard
Findings by severity, open remediation items, major risk categories, privacy and security domains, and remediation progress.
Final Management Review
A 60-minute session walking leadership through the findings, priorities, and roadmap.
Most clients spend approximately 3 to 5 total hours providing information and participating in focused working sessions. We handle the assessment, analysis, documentation, and reporting.
Once findings are prioritized, many clients move into the HIPAA Privacy & Security Operating System to turn the roadmap into an ongoing system for managing the work.

A consulting engagement does not create an attorney-client relationship unless separately agreed in writing. This diagnostic does not constitute a HIPAA compliance certification, which does not exist as a formal designation under HIPAA.
