One short form. Instant download. We never ask for patient information.

Not sure where your practice stands? The review is a free HIPAA technical security review — a plain-English findings list, no obligation.
One page. The whole compliance picture.
The mandate — what law actually applies
HIPAA (federal) and CMIA (California’s stricter layer). Why a single California breach is a two-front problem: a federal regulator and a courtroom full of patients’ attorneys.
The must-do list
The Security Risk Analysis (the #1 thing OCR fines practices for not having), the three safeguard layers, a signed BAA with every vendor that touches PHI, workforce training, and breach notification — in order.
The 2026 penalty reality
Current HIPAA civil-penalty tiers and what an OCR investigation looks like — plus how California’s CMIA stacks patient lawsuits on top. Real numbers, with the as-of date.
The “my IT guy handles this” myth
The one question to ask him: “When was our last documented Security Risk Analysis, and can I see it?” Keeping computers running and owning HIPAA technical safeguards are two different jobs — and only one of them is what OCR asks about first.
General information only — not legal or compliance advice. The free review is a technical assessment of your IT environment, not a legal audit or a determination of compliance status.
