A Security Risk Assessment alone will not make you HIPAA compliant!

The Guard™ includes all SIX mandatory assessments required by HIPAA regulation, including:

• Security
• Administrative
• Technical
• Physical
• Privacy
• Device

Then you get everything you need to remediate gaps. The Guard has built-in policy and procedure templates that are customized to the unique needs of your practice.

The Guard™ provides annual HIPAA training to educate you and your employees about the importance of HIPAA compliance–but it doesn’t stop there.

The real headaches of training come with managing who’s been trained, when they were trained, and how to track and prove that they understood the training they received.

Our HIPAA software has built-in reporting that tracks each employee’s training. The Guard also tracks employee attestation to the training they receive, recording the completion status and the completion date so your staff will always be up to date.

The Guard is built to address each element of the federal regulation, including increasingly important protocols for incident management. In January of 2017, OCR levied its first ever fine for lack of compliance with the Breach Notification Rule, signaling more stringent enforcement on the horizon.

We cover all the HIPAA compliance software requirements taking the stress out of incident management so you can get back to running your business.

The Guard™ is a web-based portal that allows you to assess and manage your vendors and Business Associates all from one location.

Business Associate Agreements must be signed and executed each year with all health care vendors. Templated agreements come stored in The Guard with your subscription, saving you the time and money you’d otherwise spend with a HIPAA consultant or attorney.

The Guard also simplifies due diligence, giving you the tools to assess the ongoing status of your vendors’ privacy standards, security infrastructure, and HIPAA compliance year after year.

Compliancy Group’s team of expert Compliance Coaches ™ are ready and waiting to guide you through data breaches and OCR investigations, should they arise. Our Breach Support Staff is on call to provide all of the necessary reports and documentation for your practice or organization to confidently get through a data breach incident.

With our ongoing support, you’ll be given the tools to maintain your compliance year after year.

A HIPAA Risk Assessment is a targeted assessment of gaps in your organization’s compliance with HIPAA regulation. HIPAA Risk Assessments will measure your organization against the federal regulatory requirements, and produce a report. These reports tell you exactly where your organization’s gaps are. From there, you must remediate those gaps with documented remediation plans and HIPAA Policies and Procedures.

When it comes time for a Covered Entity to choose the right Business Associate, who would you rather go with: The Business Associate that is compliant and will reduce their liabilities, or the one who isn’t? Over 2 million companies (Business Associates) that do business with Covered Entities are not HIPAA compliant, nor are aware of the regulations itself. Business Associates use The Guard to not only to become HIPAA compliant but to differentiate themselves and win clients through their compliance and knowledge of HIPAA.

Our unique service with flexible partner options allow you to offer the benefits of Compliance-as a-Service without incurring additional expense or resource to do so. In return, you can optimize profits while providing a total compliance solution for you and your clients. Becoming HIPAA compliant will enable you to gain new clients due to the increasing concern and awareness about Business Associates’ compliance.

When clients realize you offer a solution to one of their biggest headaches, the decision of which Business Associate to use becomes clear. By offering services to help your clients become HIPAA compliant with The Guard, this helps reinforce your branding and creates another medium and reason to stick with your services. Remember that due to Omnibus, as a Business Associate your liabilities have become their liabilities.

HIPAA is a Federal Regulation that requires all Covered Entities and Business Associates that handle PHI to be compliant. These organizations include but are not limited to: hospitals, doctors, lawyers, cloud providers, hosting providers, shredding services, accountants, storage facilities, and any self-insured companies.
