HIPAA Compliance Memphis Healthcare Practices Trust
Most healthcare practices know they need to be HIPAA compliant — but aren’t sure if they actually are. A Security Risk Assessment is the required first step, and it’s where we start with every new healthcare client.
- Required by law — OCR mandates a documented risk assessment for every covered entity
- Complete ePHI inventory — We find every place patient data lives in your environment
- Threat & vulnerability analysis — Identify what could go wrong and how likely it is
- Prioritized remediation plan — A clear roadmap of what to fix first, second, and third
- OCR-ready documentation — If auditors come knocking, you’ll be prepared
- No obligation to continue — The assessment stands alone, no managed services required

HIPAA Compliance Without the Complexity
HIPAA compliance isn’t optional — but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. OCR expects healthcare practices to protect patient data with appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. Failure means penalties up to $1.5 million per violation category.
$1.5M
maximum annual HIPAA fine per violation category — OCR has increased enforcement actions every year since 2022
Netcosa makes HIPAA compliance manageable for dental practices, veterinary clinics, med spas, and specialty healthcare offices across the Memphis metro area. We handle the technical requirements, documentation, and ongoing monitoring so you can focus on patient care.
The current Security Rule is the law today, and OCR is enforcing it. Since late 2024, OCR’s Risk Analysis Initiative has produced a steady run of settlements, and by mid-2026 law-firm tracking counted 14 enforcement actions under it. The common thread is a missing or incomplete risk analysis, which is why we start every engagement, and our checklist, with the Security Risk Assessment.
Pro Tip
HIPAA Compliance Services
Security Risk Assessment
The foundation of HIPAA compliance. We conduct comprehensive assessments that identify vulnerabilities, document risks, and create remediation plans that satisfy OCR requirements.
- Complete inventory of ePHI locations across every workstation, server, cloud service, and mobile device
- Threat and vulnerability analysis covering both technical and physical safeguards
- Risk rating and prioritization based on likelihood and impact
- Remediation roadmap with clear timelines and responsibility assignments
- Annual reassessment to maintain continuous compliance
Policy & Procedure Documentation
HIPAA requires written policies — and OCR expects them to be specific to your practice, not generic templates. We develop and maintain documentation covering all required areas:
- Privacy and security policies tailored to your practice workflow
- Incident response procedures with step-by-step runbooks
- Business continuity plans covering both natural disasters and ransomware
- Workforce training requirements and completion tracking
- Business Associate Agreement templates for every vendor that touches ePHI
Staff Training
Your team is your first line of defense — and your biggest vulnerability. We provide HIPAA awareness training with:
- Online training modules covering phishing, social engineering, and ePHI handling
- Completion tracking and certificates for audit documentation
- Phishing simulation tests with pass/fail reporting by department
- Annual refresher training aligned with OCR’s latest enforcement priorities
- New hire onboarding that covers HIPAA basics before day one on the floor
Ongoing Compliance Management
Compliance isn’t a one-time project. We provide continuous monitoring and management:
- Quarterly compliance reviews with documented findings and action items
- Policy updates for regulatory changes — including the proposed HIPAA Security Rule update that would eliminate addressable safeguards (still a proposal as of October 2026, with HHS’s regulatory agenda now targeting July 2027 for a final rule)
- Audit preparation support with evidence binders and mock audit walkthroughs
- Incident response assistance with 24/7 availability for breach events
- BAA tracking and management across all vendors

Cybersecurity for Healthcare
Watch Out
Our layered security approach protects your practice:
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Advanced threat protection that goes beyond traditional antivirus. EDR monitors every endpoint for suspicious behavior and responds automatically to threats.
Email Security
Phishing attacks are the leading cause of healthcare breaches. We implement email filtering, encryption, and security awareness training to protect your inbox.
Dark Web Monitoring
Stolen credentials appear on the dark web before they’re used for attacks. We monitor for your practice’s data and alert you immediately if it appears.
Vulnerability Management
Regular scanning identifies security weaknesses before attackers find them. We prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities based on actual risk.
Network Security
Firewalls, network segmentation, and access controls that protect your practice without creating workflow obstacles.
Cybersecurity Insurance Compliance
Insurance carriers now require documented security controls before issuing or renewing cybersecurity policies. The requirements overlap significantly with HIPAA — MFA, endpoint protection, incident response plans, and regular risk assessments. We help healthcare practices satisfy both HIPAA and insurance requirements with one set of controls instead of two separate efforts.
- MFA — proposed as mandatory in HHS’s Security Rule update (not yet final) and already required by most insurance carriers
- EDR — endpoint detection satisfies HIPAA technical safeguards and carrier requirements
- Incident response plan — OCR and insurers both want documented, tested procedures
- Annual risk assessment — mandatory under HIPAA and increasingly required for policy renewal
