The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) concerns the security and privacy of data. The legislation affects every organization in the Health Care sector. There are acute penalties for non-compliance.

The obligation to comply with HIPAA might seem like an inconvenience. But HIPAA is about building a robust security architecture. In the U.S, and worldwide, the number of security breaches is increasing significantly each year. HIPAA is sound business sense for organizations in all sectors.

Members at Brainlink are experts on HIPAA compliance. Our experience working with the healthcare industry and medical information is extensive. Our CEO is a recognized national expert. He regularly gives talks on Information Security issues, including HIPAA and the many self-regulatory guidelines in place in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

Our service is tailored to the needs of each of our clients. To ensure your organization meets the requirements of HIPAA, here is what we do:

• Gap Assessment - We perform an enterprise-wide assessment of your technology, policies, procedures, and practices, to ascertain the areas in which your organization deviates from HIPPA requirements.
  
• Risk Assessment - We assess the risks that each of these gaps pose. Some violations carry higher penalties than others; some gaps put you at much greater risk of lawsuits while some make your systems more vulnerable than do others. We close the most serious gaps first. That means your organization is able to spend its limited HIPAA dollars in the most effective way.
• Remediation - We fine-tune, upgrade, and renew your technology to close the gaps. We work with your staff to ensure that your policies, practices, and procedures are aligned with each other and with HIPAA regulations.
• Education - In partnership with key staff within your organization, we develop a training program suited to your organization. And we give high-level, one-on-one training to your Chief Privacy Officer (a HIPAA requirement), and other staff members with direct responsibility under HIPAA: in technology, legal, public affairs, and public and consumer relations.
