What is HIPAA Compliance?

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) governs the privacy, security, and integrity of patient health information. It requires organizations to have strict safeguards in place and ensures that, should a breach happen, patients are informed and steps taken to minimize the damage.

With digital records and telehealth are more common than ever, HIPAA compliance isn’t just a box to check—it’s essential for maintaining trust and protecting people’s most sensitive data. Healthcare data is incredibly personal, and keeping it secure builds trust between patients and providers. If this information falls into the wrong hands—whether through cyberattacks or accidental leaks—it can lead to identity theft, fraud, or even discrimination.

Any business that works or even touches the healthcare industry must be aware of and ensure HIPAA compliance. That means adopting a proactive approach with risk assessments, safeguards, security policies, employee training, and more.

Why HIPAA Compliance Support Matters

Running afoul of HIPAA compliance can have severe consequences for companies, from substantial fines to the erosion of customer trust and major disruptions to your operations.

Don't Cut Corners on HIPAA Compliance

 

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a critical U.S. law that governs the privacy, security, and integrity of patient health information.

Enacted in 1996, compliance with the law is mandatory for healthcare providers, health plans, and businesses handling protected health information.

Among those businesses are managed IT services providers or any organization that touches a company’s IT.

HIPAA consists of several key rules:

The Privacy Rule: Sets standards for how patient health information should be accessed and disclosed.

The Security Rule: Establishes administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure patient health information protection.

The Breach Notification Rule: Requires businesses to notify affected individuals, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and sometimes the media if a data breach occurs.

The Enforcement Rule: Defines penalties and procedures for non-compliance.
Running afoul of any of these rules can have severe consequences for a company — even that company depended upon a managed IT services provider to ensure compliance.
