Understanding SRAs

What Is a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment?

A Security Risk Assessment (SRA) is a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. It is a legal requirement under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1) — every covered entity and business associate must conduct and document a current risk analysis at least once annually.

The assessment covers 18 NIST security standards and 44 implementation specifications, scoring your organization's controls against each specification on a 1-5 scale. The result is a detailed report showing which areas are compliant, which require attention, and what specific actions are needed to close gaps.

Risk analysis failure is the most commonly cited deficiency in HIPAA enforcement actions. The OCR Risk Analysis Initiative (active since late 2024) has generated over $1 million in enforcement actions and penalties. An outdated or missing SRA is one of the fastest ways to incur regulatory exposure during an investigation.

Structured Compliance produces done-for-you SRA reports that are audit-grade, professionally written, and immediately usable as your organizational documentation. No templates to fill in, no compliance judgment calls left to you — you get a complete, scored assessment mapped to NIST standards with a remediation roadmap.

Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a HIPAA Security Risk Assessment? +

A Security Risk Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of your organization's compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. It covers 18 NIST security standards and 44 implementation specifications, scoring your controls on a 1-5 scale. The result is a detailed report showing which areas are compliant and which require remediation. It's a legal requirement under 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1).

Is an SRA really required for my practice/business? +

If you are a HIPAA covered entity (healthcare practice, health plan, healthcare clearinghouse) or a business associate (any organization that processes, stores, or transmits PHI on behalf of a covered entity), then yes — you are required by law to conduct and document a Security Risk Assessment at least annually. Risk analysis failure is the most commonly cited deficiency in HIPAA enforcement actions.

How long is the live assessment call? +

The live assessment call is approximately one hour. We walk through every HIPAA standard and specification with you, ask clarifying questions about your controls, and take detailed notes. You don't need to prepare a lengthy response to each question — our role is to gather accurate information and conduct a thorough assessment.

Do you perform penetration testing or network scans? +

No. We do not perform penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, network scans, or any hands-on technical analysis of your systems or infrastructure. Our assessment is a documentation-focused compliance evaluation conducted through a structured interview. We identify gaps and recommend technical remediation, but the actual implementation is handled by your IT provider or MSP. We're happy to introduce you to a qualified partner if needed.

When will I receive my report? +

Your SRA report, attestation letter, and policy library are delivered within 48 hours of your live assessment call. We schedule time to review the transcript, score each specification, finalize remediation recommendations, and generate all deliverables before sending them to you.

Does this cover OSHA, SAMHSA, or other regulations? +

No. Structured Compliance specializes exclusively in HIPAA and HITECH Act compliance documentation. Our assessment does not cover OSHA, SAMHSA (42 CFR Part 2), state-specific regulations, or any other regulatory framework. If your organization is subject to additional regulations, you should engage appropriate compliance resources for those areas.
