Medical Practices
HIPAA compliance and cybersecurity for medical practices
Healthcare is the most targeted industry for cyberattacks — and small practices are hit hardest. We build and manage your HIPAA compliance program and security controls so you can focus on patient care, not cybersecurity.
What HIPAA and HITECH require of medical practices
Under HIPAA and the HITECH Act, medical practices must implement comprehensive safeguards to protect electronic protected health information (ePHI). The Security Rule mandates specific administrative, physical, and technical controls — and the HITECH Act increased penalties and added breach notification requirements.
The HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigates every breach affecting 500 or more individuals and randomly audits smaller practices. Penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with annual maximums up to $1.5 million. Criminal penalties can apply for willful neglect.
Note: OCR enforcement actions have targeted practices of all sizes. The 'I'm too small to be a target' mindset is exactly what attackers and regulators look for.
Key requirements
- Conduct a comprehensive risk analysis of all ePHI
- Implement access controls with unique user identification
- Encrypt ePHI at rest and in transit
- Deploy audit controls and activity monitoring
- Establish contingency and disaster recovery plans
- Execute Business Associate Agreements with all vendors
- Provide regular workforce security training
- Implement breach notification procedures

"When a colleague's practice was hit with ransomware and couldn't access patient records for two weeks, we decided to get proactive. LevoySec built us a HIPAA compliance program that actually works — and we sleep better knowing we're protected."
