Service · HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA compliance for dental and medical practices

Most practices we assess have decent equipment and almost no documentation. The HIPAA Security Rule asks for both — and in a review or a breach investigation, the paperwork is what gets requested first.

Bitlock Shield delivers the written risk analysis, policies, training records and business associate agreements alongside the technical safeguards, so your compliance binder and your network actually match.

HIPAA Compliance FAQ

Questions we get most often

Does HIPAA require a written risk analysis?

Yes. The Security Rule requires an accurate, thorough risk analysis, kept current and documented. It is the most commonly requested document in an investigation and the most commonly missing one.

Can an IT company make us HIPAA compliant?

No vendor can certify compliance — HIPAA has no certification. What we can do is implement the required safeguards and produce the documentation that demonstrates due diligence.

Do you sign a business associate agreement?

Yes. We execute a BAA with every dental and medical client before we touch a system containing patient data.

How long does the first program take?

A single-location practice is typically documented and remediated within 60 to 90 days; multi-location groups take longer depending on standardization work.
