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.

Key Takeaways
  • 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

Schedule Your Risk Assessment{.btn-primary}

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.

Pro Tip

Schedule your Security Risk Assessment at least 60 days before your next compliance deadline or insurance renewal — the remediation plan needs time to execute.

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 2026 HIPAA Security Rule updates that eliminate addressable safeguards
  • 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

Healthcare is the #1 target for ransomware attacks. The average healthcare breach costs $10.93 million.

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.

HIPAA + Cyber Insurance Overlap
  • MFA — required by both HIPAA (2026 rule) and 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

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a healthcare practice run a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment?
OCR expects an SRA at least annually and after any material change to your environment — new EHR, new location, new clinical software, a security incident, or a major system migration. We run a comprehensive SRA each year for our HIPAA clients, plus targeted reassessments after any qualifying change. The documented SRA is the single most-requested artifact during an OCR audit.
Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes. As an MSP with access to systems that store or transmit PHI, Netcosa is a HIPAA Business Associate and we sign a BAA with every healthcare client before we touch the environment. The BAA defines our security obligations, breach notification timelines, and the safeguards we maintain on your behalf. We can also help you collect BAAs from your other vendors as part of your compliance program.
What does HIPAA compliance actually cover beyond an annual SRA?
HIPAA compliance is a continuous program: documented Security Rule policies, encryption at rest and in transit, MFA on every account with PHI access, audit logging, access controls keyed to job role, staff training (we run KnowBe4 for ongoing phishing simulation), breach response plans, and quarterly evidence reviews. Netcosa handles the technical safeguards and provides documentation; you sign off on the administrative and physical safeguards we recommend.
How do you prepare a practice for an OCR audit?
Preparation starts the day we onboard you. We maintain an audit-ready evidence binder: current SRA, written policies, training logs, BAA inventory, incident response plan, encryption attestation, access reviews, and patch logs. When OCR sends a Document Request List, you forward it to us — most items are already organized and current. We’ve never had a HIPAA client fail an audit.
