Be ready for your next audit.

If your business touches protected health information in Texas, you answer to two sets of rules: federal HIPAA, enforced by the HHS Office for Civil Rights, and Texas HB300, enforced by the Texas Attorney General. HB300 is stricter, with shorter training timelines and penalties that apply to more organizations than most owners realize.

Compliance is an IT problem wearing a legal costume

Most of what an auditor checks is technical: Is data encrypted at rest and in transit? Who accessed what, and is it logged? Are terminated employees’ accounts actually disabled? When your IT provider builds these controls into daily operations, the audit becomes paperwork instead of panic.

The risk assessment is the foundation

HIPAA requires a documented security risk assessment — it’s also the first thing an auditor or a breach investigator asks for. We run yours annually: where PHI lives, how it moves, what threatens it, and what you’re doing about each risk. You get a document you can hand to an auditor, an insurer, or a hospital system’s vendor-security questionnaire.

We sign the BAA

We’re a business associate under HIPAA and we act like one: we sign a business associate agreement, we maintain our own safeguards, and we help you track the agreements your other vendors owe you. If an IT provider hesitates to sign a BAA, that tells you everything you need to know.
