HIPAA Compliance That Keeps Patient Data Safe — and Your Business Out of OCR's Crosshairs.
Norvex Assurance builds a complete, defensible HIPAA programme for covered entities and business associates — risk analysis, tailored policies, trained workforce, and the BAAs your partners require.
HIPAA establishes the US national standard for protecting individuals' medical records and protected health information (PHI). It applies to covered entities — healthcare providers, health plans, and clearinghouses — and every business associate that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on their behalf. Non-compliance is costly. OCR enforces HIPAA with penalties up to $1.9M per violation category annually, plus criminal liability for wilful neglect.
Not sure if you need HIPAA?
Talk to one of our experts — free, no obligation.
We identify every system, workflow, and vendor handling PHI — producing a complete data flow map that underpins the entire programme.
We conduct the Security Rule-required risk analysis documenting threats and vulnerabilities to ePHI. This is the first document OCR requests in any enforcement action.
We develop a documented plan reducing identified risks to a reasonable level — with assigned owners, treatment approaches, and resolution timelines.
We build your complete HIPAA policy library covering Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification requirements — written for how your organisation actually operates.
We audit all third-party PHI relationships, review existing agreements, and execute compliant BAAs with every applicable vendor.
We deliver role-appropriate HIPAA training for all workforce members with documented completion records that satisfy OCR requirements.
We implement audit controls, breach detection mechanisms, and structured annual review cycles to keep your programme current and defensible.
Risk analysis, policies, and BAAs structured to demonstrate good-faith PHI protection before any investigation begins.
Documented HIPAA posture is a procurement prerequisite for health systems, payers, and government healthcare programmes.
Structured, documented PHI protection builds deeper trust with patients and institutional partners in a sector where breaches get public attention.
A documented response plan with clear decision trees means your organisation acts correctly when an incident occurs — not after hours of confusion.
Properly executed BAAs define responsibilities, limit your exposure, and create an auditable chain of accountability across your PHI supply chain.
A well-constructed HIPAA programme shares significant overlap with HITRUST CSF — avoiding duplicate effort when you pursue certification.
The 3 HIPAA safeguard categories form the compliance backbone of your healthcare data programme. Norvex Assurance helps you assess, implement, and document the controls relevant to your organisation through your Risk Analysis and Management Plan.
Governs when and how PHI can be used or shared. Gives patients the right to access, correct, and track their health records. We implement the notices, authorisations, and disclosure policies your organisation is required to have.
Requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI. The mandatory risk analysis under this rule is the first thing OCR asks for in any enforcement action — we build and document it properly.
Defines exactly who to notify, when, and how after a PHI breach. Business associates have 60 days to notify covered entities. We build your complete breach response plan so you act correctly under pressure — not after the fact.
Everything required to build and maintain a defensible HIPAA programme — no hidden extras.
"We were losing deals because health system procurement teams couldn't get a satisfactory answer on our HIPAA posture. Norvex Assurance built our entire compliance programme in six weeks — risk analysis, policies, BAAs, training. We've signed four enterprise contracts since."

"Our OCR audit came out of nowhere. Norvex Assurance helped us pull together every required document, coached us through the process, and we came through without a single penalty. Having them in our corner was invaluable."

"Implementing HIPAA across a hardware-software product was genuinely complex. Norvex Assurance mapped every PHI touchpoint, built a compliance framework that worked across our engineering and clinical teams, and made the entire programme feel manageable rather than overwhelming."
