For healthcare providers and health technology organizations
Assess the safeguards protecting electronic health information.
EXTRIMPA provides scoped HIPAA Security Rule readiness support for organizations subject to HIPAA. Examine how security risks to electronic protected health information (ePHI) are identified, managed and evidenced across your systems and service providers.
Start with a documented security risk analysis
We review the agreed environment, information flows and safeguards to identify risks that could affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of ePHI. The work is grounded in your systems, operating practices, business associate relationships and existing evidence.
The risk analysis informs a practical risk management plan. It does not assume that one checklist or framework alone establishes compliance.
What the engagement can include
- Identify agreed systems, applications and service providers that create, receive, maintain or transmit ePHI.
- Assess relevant administrative, physical and technical safeguards and supporting evidence.
- Review risk assessment and risk management practices, access controls, incident procedures and service provider responsibilities within the agreed scope.
- Document identified risks, control gaps, evidence needs and prioritized corrective actions.
- Support follow-up reviews as your team addresses agreed actions.
Scope, participants, information-sharing arrangements and deliverables are agreed before work begins.
Practical findings for your team
You receive a documented risk analysis and prioritized action plan that identifies the issues, supporting evidence, proposed owners and decisions for follow-up. This can help leadership, security and compliance teams coordinate improvements and track progress.
Clear boundaries
EXTRIMPA provides advisory and readiness support. The engagement does not certify HIPAA compliance, replace your organization’s responsibilities or provide legal advice on HIPAA applicability or interpretation. Confirm legal questions with qualified counsel. Applicability depends on whether your organization meets the relevant definitions of a covered entity or business associate and on the services and information involved.
Discuss your environment
Tell us what type of organization you operate, how ePHI is handled and what prompted the review. We can discuss the relevant systems, responsibilities and a practical scope.
