HIPAA Compliance That Protects Patients — and Your Business From Million-Dollar Penalties
Norvex Assurance's HIPAA compliance programme gives covered entities and business associates a complete, audit-ready compliance posture — documented risk analysis, airtight policies, trained staff, and the BAAs your partners require.
HIPAA Compliance Programme
End-to-end managed service
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) establishes the national standard for protecting individuals' medical records and other protected health information (PHI). It applies to covered entities — healthcare providers, health plans, and clearinghouses — and to their business associates: any vendor, SaaS platform, cloud provider, or service organisation that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on their behalf. Non-compliance carries severe consequences. The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) enforces HIPAA with civil monetary penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation (up to $1.9 million per violation category per year), and criminal penalties for wilful neglect. Beyond fines, a HIPAA breach destroys patient trust and generates the kind of regulatory scrutiny that can shut down a healthcare business.
Not sure if you need HIPAA?
Talk to one of our experts — free, no obligation.
Identify every system, application, workflow, and vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI — including cloud storage, EHR integrations, and communication tools.
Conduct the Security Rule-required risk analysis to identify threats and vulnerabilities to ePHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This is the most scrutinised document in an OCR audit.
Develop and implement a documented risk management plan to reduce identified risks to a reasonable and appropriate level — with clear ownership and remediation timelines.
Build your complete HIPAA policy library — Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification — tailored to your organisation's workflows and workforce roles. Never generic boilerplate.
Audit all third-party relationships involving PHI. Review existing Business Associate Agreements and execute new BAAs where none exist — ensuring every vendor relationship is properly documented.
Conduct role-appropriate HIPAA training for all workforce members — from clinical staff to developers — with documented completion records that satisfy OCR requirements.
Implement audit controls, breach detection mechanisms, and structured annual review cycles to maintain continuous compliance and respond to operational changes.
Build the documented risk analysis, policies, and BAAs that OCR examiners look for first — before an investigation begins.
HIPAA compliance evidence is a prerequisite for contracting with health systems, payers, and government healthcare programmes.
Demonstrate your commitment to protecting sensitive health information, building lasting relationships with patients and institutional partners.
Have a tested, documented breach response plan in place before an incident occurs — so you respond in hours, not days.
Properly executed BAAs protect your business from liability exposure when PHI flows through third-party relationships.
A strong HIPAA compliance programme is the foundation for HITRUST CSF certification — the gold standard in US healthcare security.
The 93 Annex A controls form the operational backbone of your ISMS. Norvex Assurance helps you select, implement, and document the controls relevant to your scope through your Statement of Applicability (SoA).
The Privacy Rule establishes national standards for when and how covered entities may use or disclose protected health information. It gives patients rights over their health data — including the right to access, amend, and receive an accounting of disclosures. Norvex Assurance implements the required notices, policies, and authorization procedures to satisfy every Privacy Rule obligation.
The Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect ePHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The Security Rule risk analysis is mandatory — and it is the most frequently cited element in OCR enforcement actions. Our programme builds and documents this analysis from scratch.
The Breach Notification Rule requires covered entities to notify affected individuals, HHS, and in some cases the media, following the discovery of unsecured PHI. Business associates must notify covered entities within 60 days. Norvex Assurance builds your complete breach response plan — detection, assessment, notification, and documentation — so you respond correctly under pressure.
Our fixed-scope engagement covers every deliverable needed to achieve and maintain your HIPAA certification — 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."
