HIPAA security programs for small practices.

Whether you need this year’s risk assessment or a security program built from the ground up, start with a free guided questionnaire and get expert help when you want it.

Which program fits your practice?

You have security policies and an operating practice

You need your annual Security Risk Assessment: an evaluation of how well your safeguards work and what to fix next.

You’re a new practice, or your policies are missing or outdated

You need a Security Program Build: tailored policies and documentation first, then a baseline risk assessment.

Annual requirement

Security Risk Assessment

The risk analysis required by 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1), built on the structure of the HHS SRA Tool.

New or retooling

Security Program Build

The written policies and plans the Security Rule requires, tailored to how your practice actually works.

  • Free guided questionnaire and policy data summary
  • $799 documentation package: 12 tailored documents and a 20-minute call
  • From $3,500 NBT Systems-guided program build

How the two programs fit together

A security program build gives you the policies; the risk assessment tests them. New practices typically start with the program build and finish with a baseline risk assessment, then repeat the assessment every year.

  1. Build the program

    Adopt tailored policies, name your Security and Privacy Officers, and document your systems and vendors.

  2. Baseline assessment

    Run your first Security Risk Assessment to confirm the safeguards work as written.

  3. Fix what matters

    Work the prioritized remediation plan, with NBT Systems’ help where you want it.

  4. Review every year

    Repeat the risk assessment annually and whenever your practice changes.

Questions practices ask

We’ve been open for years but never wrote policies. Which program do we need?

Start with the Security Program Build. An assessment measures your safeguards against your policies, so without policies there’s little to assess. A program build followed by a baseline risk assessment is the fastest path to a documented program.

Can we bundle the program build with a risk assessment?

Yes. Guided program build clients receive a discounted baseline Security Risk Assessment when the two are booked together. Ask about it on your consultation call.

Is my patient information involved?

No. Both questionnaires ask about your practice, systems and safeguards, never about patients. Please don’t enter patient information anywhere.

Does HHS certify HIPAA compliance?

No. HHS does not issue or recognize HIPAA compliance certifications. What matters is a current risk analysis, written policies, and evidence that you follow them.

Protect your practice and your patients.
