Your HIPAA Audit Notice Just Arrived. You Have 10 Business Days.
If you're a healthcare CTO holding ePHI in a SaaS product, your risk analysis is either OCR-ready or it's a liability waiting to explode.
We build HIPAA-compliant web applications and run technical security risk assessments aligned with 45 CFR § 164.308, NIST 800-66, and OCR audit protocols.
A HIPAA security risk assessment is a formal evaluation required under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A). It identifies threats and vulnerabilities to electronic protected health information (ePHI), then checks your web application's technical, administrative, and physical safeguards against NIST 800-66 controls and the OCR audit protocol. The result is a clear picture of residual risk -- plus a remediation plan that holds up to federal enforcement.
Your Current Site May Be a Liability
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.

Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
Administrative Safeguard Mapping
We map every § 164.308 administrative safeguard directly to your application architecture -- security management processes, workforce security, and information access management controls included.
Technical Safeguard Validation
Access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security are all verified against § 164.312 requirements. Each control gets tested against your production environment.
NIST 800-66 Control Alignment
Every identified risk gets mapped to the corresponding NIST 800-66 Rev1 activity. You'll receive a crosswalk document that OCR auditors recognize and accept.
OCR Audit Protocol Readiness
We evaluate your application against all 180 OCR audit protocol elements covering Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules. Gap findings are ranked by enforcement risk.
Encryption & Key Management Review
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, key rotation policies -- all assessed against NIST standards. We verify your implementation actually protects ePHI, not just that it looks good on paper.
Risk Register & Remediation Roadmap
The deliverable includes a scored risk register with likelihood, impact, and residual risk calculations. Each finding comes with a concrete remediation task your development team can act on immediately.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
ePHI Flow Diagrams
A visual map of every ePHI touchpoint -- from ingestion through storage, processing, transmission, and disposal -- across your entire application stack.
Row-Level Security Audit
Verification that database access policies enforce minimum necessary access at the row and column level for every user role.
Penetration Testing
Targeted penetration tests against authentication, session management, and API endpoints that handle ePHI.
BAA Compliance Review
Analysis of all business associate agreements against actual subprocessor controls and data handling practices.
Incident Response Plan Validation
Testing your breach notification workflow against the 60-day reporting requirement and any applicable state notification laws.
Continuous Monitoring Architecture
Design and implementation of automated compliance monitoring that satisfies the periodic evaluation standard under § 164.308(a)(8).
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Scope & ePHI Inventory
Week 1We identify every system, database, API, and third-party service that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI. That defines the assessment boundary.
Threat & Vulnerability Analysis
Week 2Threats and vulnerabilities are identified systematically and mapped to each ePHI asset using NIST 800-30 methodology for consistent risk scoring.
Control Assessment & Gap Analysis
Week 3Every existing safeguard gets tested against § 164.308, § 164.310, and § 164.312 requirements alongside NIST 800-66 activities. Gaps are documented with evidence.
Risk Scoring & Remediation Plan
Week 4Residual risks are scored by likelihood and impact. You get a prioritized remediation roadmap with estimated effort, responsible parties, and target completion dates.
Remediation & Verification
Weeks 5-8We implement technical fixes directly in your application -- access controls, encryption, audit logging, secure configurations -- and verify each remediation actually closes the identified gap.
