HIPAA Requirements Extend Past Doctors
​Partners of Covered Entities and the Entities Themselves are Regulated  in the Same Way

Becoming compliant is not a simple process. It takes preparation, execution, and a substantial amount of consistency to complete correctly and avoid penalties. HIPAA evaluates companies in the medical field along with any business associates of these companies, which means that every organization from hospitals to the payroll companies that work with said hospitals will be audited. There are many steps to take in order to be prepared when your time comes, get through the process as painlessly and quickly as possible, and keep compliant for the next audit. HIPAA audits will be repeated events as long as your organization is a business associate of a company in the medical field.

ITG's Proven Steps for Acing Your Audit
Plan of Action for Each Segment of the Compliance Process

PRE-AUDIT

ITG's HIPAA certified Network Engineers are qualified to perform risk audits and perimeter scans on your business. These procedures will bring to light hidden transgressions within your network. Preliminary "mock" audits and scans are often omitted and if completed by a trained professional they would save many companies money and headaches. 



​

AUDIT

Audits are very involved and require a large amount of documentation, however our engineers have developed practices that facilitate this aspect of the process. We have templates our clients can utilize to satisfy HIPAA requirements every step of the way rather than tackling each segment blindly.  ​During the audit, the client can be as involved as they like with our HIPAA compliance portal. Whether that be completely hands-off, or involved at every turn, this is up to you. 

POST-AUDIT

ITG creates post-audit management plans for client's to follow so they will be compliant for future audits and reviews. These are optional suggestions that our engineers can make which are specific to each audit they partake in. We recommend that these plans be automated and implemented by one of our professionals.
