HIPAA Risk Assessment
HIPAA’s security rule requires that entities handling Protected Health Information (PHI) and sensitive data ensure the security of patient data. HIPAA risk assessments help those organizations identify vulnerabilities and get expert advice for your next steps. Our cloud-based risk assessment tool includes:
- Detailed explanations, definitions, and examples to help you understand your security risks
- An audit-ready final report with recommended, risk-stratified remediation actions
- Dashboard tools that allow you to assign tasks to team members
Customized HIPAA Compliance Policies and Procedures
Regardless of the size of your organization, HIPAA compliance is about securing patient data. Even with the same standards, a small practice may not have the same needs, demands, or risks, as a large hospital. Tailoring your HIPAA policies and procedures and ensuring the right fit is essential to not only securing patient data but ensuring practice success and adherence.
iCoreHIPAA’s cloud-based risk assessment platform includes:
- Guided templates to build policies appropriate to the size of your organization
- Streamlined sharing features so your team is kept in the loop
- Prompts and alerts to ensure policies are current and updated when needed
Ensure HIPAA Compliance Across Your Business Network
In security circles, it’s understood that your security is only as strong as the security of your data sharing partners. As part of the HIPAA Privacy rule, practices are required to have a written agreement in place with every business associate involved with the use or disclosure of patient information.
In other words, you can maintain and monitor your organization’s HIPAA compliance, but if the organizations you work with don’t, your data is still at risk. iCoreHIPAA allows you to establish and track organizational agreements to ensure compliance and security. Additionally, our HIPAA compliance platform enables you to:
- Customize and maintain all your agreements in one place
- Send notifications for e-signatures
- Proactively manage vendors and monitor security standards

Even the best security measures are vulnerable if the team responsible for implementing them isn’t trained. While technology is a valuable and important tool for risk management, your first line of defense is your team. iCoreConnect’s HIPAA risk assessment program includes comprehensive staff training on HIPAA compliance and supports annual HIPAA security awareness by providing:
