ITS Alliances HIPAA Security Risk Assessment is a professional service designed to help healthcare organizations identify security vulnerabilities and maintain compliance with HIPAA regulations. The service focuses on protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) through comprehensive risk analysis and assessment. The assessment process follows a structured methodology consisting of four main phases: Risk Discovery, Gap Analysis, Remediation Planning, and Compliance Reporting. During Risk Discovery, the service identifies all locations where ePHI is created, stored, transmitted, or accessed, while evaluating potential threats such as cyberattacks, human errors, and unauthorized access. The Gap Analysis phase evaluates findings against HIPAA requirements to highlight specific compliance gaps. The service provides organizations with prioritized remediation plans that address identified risks through technical safeguards, administrative policies, and staff training recommendations. Compliance Reporting documentation includes risk analysis reports, security incident records, policy documentation, workforce training records, audit logs, and corrective action plans. The assessment duration varies based on organization size, ranging from 2-4 weeks for small clinics to 3-6 months for large health systems. The service evaluates system complexity, existing security measures, and regulatory requirements to provide healthcare-focused risk identification and audit-ready documentation.
