Achieve Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance, secure your electronic protected health information (ePHI) and protect your operational uptime.
Individual health records are some of the most private and protected digital assets in the world today. We help providers, covered entities and business associates secure environments and technology stacks to protect critical ePHI and other mission essential systems, so you can focus on patients and provide the care they need.
Our IT audit, compliance and risk management capabilities are all foundational elements to ensuring compliance with the HIPAA Security, Privacy and Breach Notification rules. We utilize guidance and specific audit protocol from the US Department of Health and Human Services Office of Civil Rights (HHS OCR) to perform our evaluations of your environments to ensure compliance.
We offer our healthcare clients a comprehensive set of compliance and risk management services that go beyond checking boxes. By combining our compliance capabilities with our technical testing and analysis teams, we help you enhance your capabilities as we support you through a value-added partnership.
Our HIPAA Risk Assessment is a repeatable process that ensures compliance with HIPAA regulations while providing real business value by identifying vulnerabilities and mitigating risks.
In addition, our HIPAA Gap Assessment evaluates your current compliance status using the HHS OCR audit protocol. We assess people, processes, and technology to identify non-compliance areas and high-risk issues. This assessment can be customized to meet your specific needs.
Together, these assessments provide a comprehensive, actionable compliance strategy, helping your organization stay compliant and secure.
As healthcare organizations increasingly move ePHI to cloud platforms, ensuring HIPAA-compliant cloud environments is critical. We provide guidance on secure cloud configurations, data residency best practices, and effective monitoring strategies to reduce risks in cloud-hosted ePHI.
Vendors and third-party service providers play a significant role in healthcare operations, yet they often introduce significant risks. We help you assess and manage your third-party ecosystem to ensure those partners adhere to HIPAA security and privacy standards.
Healthcare organizations are prime targets for ransomware, phishing, and other cyberattacks. We offer tailored incident response planning to ensure that clinical operations remain uninterrupted, PHI is protected, and regulatory requirements are met in the aftermath of an incident.
At Echelon, we understand that compliance isn’t a one-time task—it’s an ongoing process. That’s why our GRC-as-a-Service (GRCaaS) goes beyond just assessments. We provide continuous support to help your organization stay compliant, reduce risk, and scale with ease.
Our dedicated team works with you to manage compliance, policies, controls, and risk management, eliminating the need for costly full-time staff. Whether you need policy creation, ongoing risk assessments, or incident response planning, we offer the expertise and flexibility to adapt to your business needs and the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
With our scalable, proactive approach, you can focus on your business while we keep you secure and compliant. Let us help you build a resilient, long-term compliance strategy that grows with your organization.
