The yearly re-evaluation the Security Rule expects, packaged so you can hand it to a customer, an insurer, or an investigator.

Who this is for

Organisations that already know roughly where they stand and need the work done — not another vendor explaining what HIPAA is. Covered entities and business associates both, from 10-person health tech startups to multi-site provider groups.

How the engagement runs

  • Re-run of the risk analysis against changes in the environment
  • Control effectiveness re-testing
  • Policy currency and acknowledgement review
  • BAA and vendor re-verification
  • Year-over-year posture comparison

What you get

  • Annual Review Report
  • Updated risk register and treatment plan
  • Refreshed evidence package
  • Next-year remediation roadmap

Scope drivers that move the price: number of legal entities, number of clinical or production systems in scope, whether ePHI crosses a cloud boundary, and how much prior documentation exists.

Why teams pick us over a generalist consultancy

A generalist gives you a report. We give you a report and the system that keeps it true twelve months later. The deliverable is not a PDF you file — it is a populated risk register, a live evidence library, and a workforce that has acknowledged the current version of every policy.

What happens after you fill the form

  1. You get the deliverable immediately. No “a rep will contact you to unlock your download.”
  2. We read your answers before we call. The scoping call starts with what you told us, not a discovery script.
  3. You get a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal in 2 business days — or a straight “you don’t need us yet,” which we say more often than you’d expect.

On the word “certified.” There is no government HIPAA certification. Any vendor selling you a “HIPAA Certificate” is selling a PDF they printed themselves. What regulators, customers, and insurers actually accept is a documented risk analysis, implemented safeguards, and evidence that both are maintained. That is what SuperHIPAA produces.

Questions

How is this priced?

Fixed scope, fixed fee, starting at $4,000. We publish the starting number because vendors who hide it are usually charging based on how desperate you sound.

How long does it take?

2 weeks for a typical engagement. Multi-entity or multi-cloud environments take longer and we say so in the proposal, not after you sign.

Do we have to buy the platform too?

No. Services stand alone. Most clients bundle because the deliverables land directly in the platform and stay maintainable, but it is not a condition.

Will this make us HIPAA certified?

No such thing exists. This produces the risk analysis, documented safeguards, and evidence that regulators and enterprise customers actually accept.

Is an annual review actually required by HIPAA?

The rule does not name a calendar date, but §164.306(e) and §164.316(b)(2)(iii) require you to keep safeguards and documentation reviewed and current. Annual is the accepted, defensible cadence — and the one investigators expect to see.

What does the review actually cover?

The risk analysis is refreshed for anything that changed, policies are reviewed against current practice, BAAs and vendors are checked for gaps and lapses, training status is verified, and any incidents since the last review are examined. You get an updated report and a short remediation list.

We did our own risk analysis — can you review it instead of redoing it?

Yes. If it is credible we validate and update it rather than rebuilding, and the scope reflects that. We tell you which it is after looking, not after invoicing.

Will enterprise customers and auditors accept the output?

This is exactly what security questionnaires and auditors ask for: evidence the program is maintained year over year, not a one-time binder. The dated review reports become that evidence trail.
