HIPAA Technical Safeguards for Medical Practices &
Healthcare Technology Companies.
Stop pretending your IT provider handles security.
Stop hoping your compliance consultant knows technology.
Whether you need HIPAA Security Rule compliance, EHR security assessments,
telehealth compliance, or preparation for an OCR HIPAA audit, we handle the
technical safeguards while you focus on patient care. Our HIPAA risk
assessments and security management services protect medical practices
from the data breaches happening daily in healthcare.
Adelia Risk is exactly what I needed for my business, I’m in healthcare and protecting PHI is critical. We weren’t sure we were set up properly. Adelia Risk made it so we don’t have to worry. They took care of our email security, made sure our computers were set up the right way, and even took the time to train our staff on how to be safe, secure, and HIPAA-compliant.
Grace Barker Health
Working with Adelia Risk provides peace of mind. I sleep better at night knowing that our client data is being protected. Josh and his team are responsive, highly knowledgeable and helpful.
They take complicated topics and make them understandable. We love working with Adelia Risk!
Parsons Capital Management
Before we hired Adelia, I thought our IT people (me) had the cybersecurity thing covered. ‘We’ were wrong.
Josh and his team helped us find the gaps, close the gaps and document everything so we’re as buttoned up as we need to be for our clients and the SEC.
Physician Family Financial Advisors, Inc.
Like most investment advisors, I wanted to worry less and prepare for our next audit. Other vendors offered confusing “one size fits all” solutions. Since working with Adelia, we’ve built a policy that we understand and can achieve! We passed our most recent audit with flying colors.
Jackson Money Management
We are very satisfied with the quality of product and exceptional customer service.
We have a high level of confidence in our ability to protect PHI because Adelia Risk properly set up our HIPAA compliant email.
Barrier Islands Free Medical Clinic
I chose Adelia Risk because I understood that they would guide me through a process, not simply provide tools for me to learn and use.
I was not disappointed!

You build healthcare solutions or treat patients, not firewalls. But the
technical side of HIPAA is getting harder to fake.
They keep your systems running. But when auditors ask about audit logs, encryption at rest, and integrity controls, they’ll point to you. When enterprise clients need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) signed, they’ll expect real answers.
They write beautiful policies. But do they actually log into your systems and check the settings? Tell you how to set up the access controls? Test the backup integrity?
Practices: OCR doesn’t care if you have 5 patients or 5,000.
Tech companies: Hospitals won’t demo your product without HIPAA compliance.
Insurance requires “reasonable security measures.” When hackers encrypt your patient records and you can’t prove you had MFA enabled, watch how fast claims get denied.
Two healthcare data breaches happen every single day. 758,288 patient records are exposed daily. Hacking incidents in healthcare are up 239% since 2018.
“So far” is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
Which is exactly why you’re a target.
You have what criminals want. Without a big hospital’s big security budget.
Patient records sell for up to $1,000 each on the dark web. Credit cards? $5.
Criminals spend months in healthcare networks because the payoff is worth it.
Insurers are getting smarter and now want detailed proof of real security controls.
Answer the 20-page application wrong?
Claim denied.
22 enforcement actions in 2024 alone.
Even tiny practices get hit with
six-figure penalties.
“We didn’t know” isn’t a defense.
You’re not too small to be targeted. You’re the perfect size to be targeted.
We don’t write reports then disappear. We’re not a one-person shop. We manage your cybersecurity tools, stay on top of your I.T. team, and when audit time comes, we’re sitting next to you answering the auditor’s questions.
Great security shouldn’t require a $100k budget on day one. We built three tiers because we’ve watched companies grow from startup to enterprise. Your security partner should grow with you, not force you to overpay until you’re ready.
After 100+ clients and dozens of audits, we know what auditors actually check versus what the standards say. We know which tools work for 20-person companies versus 200. This isn’t our first rodeo – it’s our hundredth.
Other vCISOs tell you which tools to buy, then leave you to figure it out. We’ve negotiated group rates so you can afford enterprise cybersecurity tools. Buy through us at cost-plus, buy through your MSP, or buy direct – we don’t care. We just want you protected.
This medical practice had an initial HIPAA Security Rule compliance score of 45% – failing by any measure. Month by month, we implemented technical safeguards, configured access controls, and documented everything for OCR requirements.
No magic. Just systematic work. Result: 89% compliant and ready for an OCR HIPAA audit.
This healthcare organization had 603 vulnerabilities across their EHR systems and network – including 64 critical ones that ransomware groups actively exploit.
Six months later: 90% eliminated. Just 2 critical vulnerabilities remain (both with documented compensating controls for HIPAA).
This is what happens when someone actually manages your security tools instead of just installing them.
Month 1: 28% of healthcare employees clicked phishing emails – the #1 cause of healthcare breaches.
Today: 3.2%. More importantly, 73% now actively report suspicious emails instead of ignoring them.
HIPAA requires workforce training. We make it stick.

Your IT provider keeps your systems running—that’s IT operations. Security requires specialized expertise that most IT providers don’t have (and shouldn’t be expected to have). Here’s how we work together:
This is a dangerous myth. The data tells a different story:
Attackers target smaller companies because they often have:
You’re not too small to be targeted. You’re the perfect size to be targeted.
Tools without strategy are ineffective. Here’s what happened to two companies:
Cybersecurity tools are only effective when used correctly and monitored—like buying a state-of-the-art alarm system but never turning it on.
Let’s do the math:
Plus, a single security person can’t be an expert in everything – cloud security, compliance frameworks, incident response, vendor management, security awareness training, and dozens of security tools. We have specialists for each area.
Adelia Risk provides HIPAA Security Rule compliance and healthcare cybersecurity services across the United States. From Boston’s medical district to Houston’s Texas Medical Center, from Silicon Valley health tech startups to Chicago medical groups, we understand that every practice faces the same OCR requirements and ransomware threats. Our virtual CISO services include HIPAA risk assessments, security incident response planning, business associate agreement (BAA) support, and preparation for OCR HIPAA audits.
