Healthcare Compliance Audit (HIPAA)

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act provides a framework for health care organizations to ensure the privacy and security of patient records. HIPAA is one of the more complex regulations. Compliance with Section 160 of the act, which covers security and privacy, presents an organization with numerous operational, technical, and management challenges. Anitian's HIPAA compliance team can help organize your HIPAA efforts or analyze existing measures to ensure complete compliance with the regulations. 

Anitian uses our exclusive Industry Security Maturity Profiles^TM (ISMP) to analyze and audit your environment. These profiles combine established security standards such as ISO17799, CobiT and ITIL with the HIPAA regulation to provide a health-care focused maturity profile.  Using this profile, our team can audit your security posture in comparison to other, similar health-care organizations, thus providing an audit that is uniquely relevant to your organization.

Our typical HIPAA auditing engagement includes:
