HIPAA Risk and Compliance Services
Compliance Services Designed for Your Organization
Compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is mandatory, and noncompliance can quickly escalate to penalties that can impact your organization. These penalties can come in many forms, including loss of business due to the erosion of trust from patients, employees, vendors and other alliances. With the changes in work environment and increase in virtual working arrangements, the breach risks are significantly amplified.
