Small teams, no dedicated security staff, and a practice manager who inherited HIPAA along with everything else.
What usually goes wrong
- No named Privacy or Security Officer
- Risk analysis never done, or done once by the EHR vendor
- Front-desk workflows that break minimum necessary
- Personal devices used for patient photos and messaging
What SuperHIPAA does about it
- Guided risk analysis a non-technical practice manager can complete
- Front-desk and clinical staff training that takes under an hour
- BYOD and workstation policies written for a clinic, not an enterprise
- Virtual HIPAA Officer if you need the role filled
Your obligations in one paragraph
As a covered entity, you must conduct an accurate and thorough risk analysis, implement the required Security Rule specifications (and either implement or document a rationale for each addressable one), maintain policies and procedures, train your workforce, execute business associate agreements with everyone who touches ePHI on your behalf, and be able to detect, assess, and report breaches. All of it must be evidenced. None of it is a one-time project.
Where most medical clinics & practices actually stand
The pattern we see in this vertical: policies exist, training happens sporadically, BAAs are partially in place, and the risk analysis is either missing or several years stale. That last one is the finding that turns an incident into a penalty, because it is the first document OCR requests.
Getting started
- Free readiness assessment — scored report, no call required
- Gap assessment — if the score shows real exposure
- Implementation — we fix it with you, or hand your team the plan
- Platform — keeps it true after we leave
Start where you are
Take the free readiness assessment — 24 questions, about eight minutes, no call required. You get a scored report identifying which required specifications you are missing and what to fix first. If it turns out you are further along than you thought, we will tell you that too.
