If you run an independent healthcare practice or a business that handles patient data, federal law requires you to have a Security Risk Assessment on file. We produce yours — professionally scored against NIST standards, delivered within 48 hours, and requiring just one call from you. No software to learn. No network scanning. Just audit-ready documentation, handled.
We map your gaps, deliver real solutions, and get out of your way so you can get back to the most important thing: taking care of your patients and running your business.
OCR audits can happen at any time, and the first document they request is your Security Risk Assessment. Having one isn't just a regulatory requirement. It's a best practice that protects your organization.
A HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is a federally required evaluation of how your organization protects patient health information. It examines your policies, your technology, your physical safeguards, and your administrative processes, and identifies where you may be vulnerable.
Under HIPAA, every medical practice and every business associate that handles protected health information must conduct an SRA annually. If the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) investigates your organization for any reason, whether a complaint, a breach, or a routine audit, the SRA is the first document they ask for.
Beyond compliance, an SRA is simply good business practice. It helps you understand your security posture, identify risks before they become problems, and demonstrate to patients, partners, and insurers that you take data protection seriously.
Sign your service agreement, answer a few quick questions about your organization, and submit payment โ all in one simple form. Then schedule your live assessment call at a time that works for you. We'll send a preparation checklist so you know exactly what to have ready.
One of our compliance analysts walks through the full HIPAA security and privacy assessment with you in real time, scoring each specification based on your organization's current practices. If you have an IT company or MSP, we recommend having them join the call.
Within 48 hours, you receive your professionally scored HIPAA Security Risk Assessment report, a formal attestation letter, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and a complete HIPAA policy and procedure library customized to your organization โ ready for any audit or regulatory inquiry.
Most healthcare practices and business associates know they need to comply with HIPAA. What they do not know is where to start. The requirement is clear. The path forward is not.
The options available today make the problem worse, not better. Enterprise consultants are costly and slow to deliver. Software platforms hand you a login, a dashboard, and a project to manage on your own. Neither one removes the burden from your plate.
Structured Compliance is a hands-on service. We collect the information we need from you directly, translate every HIPAA requirement into plain language, identify the practical gaps in your organization, and deliver a clear set of priorities you can act on immediately. There is no software to learn, no portal to check, and no ongoing subscription. You get a completed deliverable and a straightforward understanding of where you stand.
We exist because compliance should not require another tool. It should require someone who puts you on the right path and gives you exactly what you need to move forward.
Dental offices, physician practices (1โ10 providers), behavioral health, optometry, chiropractic, physical therapy — if you're an independent practice, you are legally required to have a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment on file, updated annually. Most small practices know they need to be HIPAA compliant but don't have the time, staff, or expertise to produce compliant documentation. That's exactly what we handle.

Schedule your SRA โIf your company touches patient data in any way, including IT support, billing, software, cloud hosting, shredding, or claims processing, you are independently required to have your own HIPAA Security Risk Assessment. Most business associates don't realize this. A signed BAA does not replace the SRA requirement. We make it simple.

Schedule your SRA โMost organizations choose between software they have to run themselves, costly enterprise consultants, or generic templates that don't meet regulatory standards. Here's how Structured Compliance compares.
Software platforms give you a login and leave you to do the work. Enterprise consultants deliver the same result at 5 to 20 times the cost. Template kits give you blank documents with no assessment attached. Structured Compliance delivers everything: the expert assessment, the scored report, the remediation plan, and the complete policy library, for one flat fee.
Every engagement produces a structured set of deliverables within 48 hours of your assessment call. This is not a summary email or a generic checklist. It is a professionally scored, audit-grade documentation package built from the information you provide.
Your SRA report is a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's compliance posture, scored against all 18 HIPAA security standards and 44 implementation specifications using the NIST SP 800-66 framework. It is the document that the Office for Civil Rights asks for first during any investigation.
What the report covers:
Included at the end of every report is a prioritized checklist that organizes your findings into clear action items. Each item is ranked by risk level so you know exactly what to address first, what to address next, and what can wait.
The checklist separates policy-related items from technical items. Policy gaps are mapped to the exact document in your policy library. Technical items describe what your IT provider or MSP needs to do, in plain language they can act on.
Your organization walks away knowing what needs attention and in what order.
Every engagement includes a formal attestation letter that documents the completion of your Security Risk Assessment. It includes the date, scope, framework used, and a summary of what was assessed.
The letter is designed to be shared without disclosing the contents of your report. It confirms the assessment was conducted and that a detailed report was produced, without revealing scores or specific findings.
Common uses for the attestation letter:
Your SRA identifies every gap: technical, physical, and administrative. Many of those findings require formal written policies and procedures. Every assessment includes a complete template library, pre-populated with your information and ready to tailor to your operations.
Clean. Simple. Done.
Most practices know they need a Security Risk Assessment. They just don't know where to start, who to trust, or how long it will take. That uncertainty is exactly why we built Structured Compliance.
We are surgical in what we do. One call, one engagement, one clear deliverable. We walk through every federal standard with you, document your compliance posture, identify the gaps, and deliver the policies and roadmap to start closing them — no ambiguity, no loose ends.
We are not a software platform that leaves the work to you, and we are not a consulting firm that bills by the hour. We do the hard work, deliver the finished product, and get out of your way so you can get back to running your practice.

Schedule a Free ConsultationA Security Risk Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's compliance with HIPAA Security Rule standards. It identifies gaps in your administrative, physical, and technical safeguards and provides a prioritized roadmap for remediation. Every covered entity and business associate is legally required to conduct one — it is the first document OCR requests during any investigation.
Covered entities (medical practices, dental offices, behavioral health, etc.) and business associates (IT companies, billing services, EHR vendors, cloud providers, and any organization that handles protected health information on behalf of a covered entity) are both required to conduct a Security Risk Assessment under HIPAA regulations.
Your time commitment is minimal: a short intake questionnaire (3โ5 minutes) followed by one live assessment call with our compliance analyst where we walk through every HIPAA security and privacy standard together. That's it. We handle the rest, and your professionally scored SRA report is delivered within 48 hours.
Your assessment includes: a detailed SRA report scored against all 18 NIST standards and 44 implementation specifications, a risk rating for each specification, specific remediation recommendations, a prioritized remediation roadmap, and a formal attestation letter suitable for audits and regulatory inquiries.
Yes. Business associates are independently required under the HIPAA Security Rule to conduct their own Security Risk Assessment covering the same 18 standards and 44 specifications as covered entities. The SRA requirement is not limited to medical practices; it applies to any organization handling protected health information.
Compliance software tools provide a platform for you to manage your documentation. We provide the documentation itself. Our experts analyze your environment, evaluate your controls against NIST standards, and produce a professional, audit-grade assessment report. Software platforms still require you to do the work; we do it for you.
Your SRA report identifies specific compliance gaps, including technical, operational, and documentation-related findings. Many organizations use the report to work with their IT provider to address the technical gaps. For policy and documentation gaps, every assessment includes a complete HIPAA Policy and Procedure Library: every policy, form, and template mapped directly to your SRA findings, pre-populated with your organization's information, and delivered as editable Word documents you can modify to fit your operations.
Yes. Our assessments are scored to NIST SP 800-66 methodology and include formal attestation letters. They are inspection-grade, audit-ready documentation that demonstrates your organization's commitment to HIPAA compliance. Your assessment is the first document OCR requests during any investigation, and we ensure it reflects professional evaluation and due diligence.
Structured Compliance specializes exclusively in HIPAA and HITECH compliance documentation. Our assessment covers the HIPAA Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. We do not assess or provide documentation for OSHA, SAMHSA (42 CFR Part 2), state-specific regulations, or other federal compliance frameworks. If your organization is subject to additional regulatory requirements, we recommend working with specialists in those areas alongside your HIPAA documentation.
No. Our assessment is a documentation-focused compliance evaluation — not a technical test of your network. We do not perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, network scans, or any hands-on technical analysis of your systems. During the live assessment call, we evaluate your organization's compliance posture through a structured interview against all HIPAA Security Rule and Privacy Rule standards. The result is audit-grade documentation that demonstrates your compliance efforts to regulators. If the assessment identifies technical gaps, we recommend working with your IT provider or MSP to address them.
We partner with MSPs, IT companies, CPAs, and healthcare advisors who serve practices and business associates. When you refer a client to Structured Compliance, you earn competitive referral fees, and your clients get their SRA handled quickly.
Your clients need SRAs. You might need your own. Let's talk.
