For Covered Entities and Business Associates, HIPAA compliance is more than a legal mandate—it is the foundation of patient trust. TurnKey provides the expert gap assessments, control design, and documentation required to meet the strict Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules.

The Methodology: Safeguarding ePHI

We apply a modular methodology to ensure that Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) is protected throughout its entire lifecycle—from intake to disposal.

  • The Mandatory Risk Analysis: The #1 reason for HIPAA fines is a lack of a "thorough and systemic" risk assessment. We can help drive this process, identifying where ePHI could be vulnerable. Learn about our Risk Analysis process.
  • Security Rule Implementation: We help your team implement the Administrative, Physical, and Technical safeguards required to help keep data secure and resilient. See Control Design & Readiness.
  • Business Associate Management: We help you vet your vendors and ensure that mandatory Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) are in place and enforceable. See Third-Party Risk.
Protect ePHI throughout its entire lifecycle and meet the strict Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules.

The Three Pillars of HIPAA

HIPAA compliance is built on three distinct regulatory rules.

Security Rule

Administrative, Physical, and Technical safeguards to protect ePHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Privacy Rule

Standards for protecting individuals' medical records and other personal health information.

Breach Notification Rule

Requirements for notifying affected individuals, HHS, and media when a breach of unsecured PHI occurs.

The "Evidence of Compliance"

"There is no 'HIPAA Certificate,' only 'Evidence of Compliance.'"

Since the HHS does not recognize a formal certification, you must be ready for a "Desk Audit" or a breach investigation at any time. We perform the Internal Audit Readiness required to build a "Compliance Binder" that proves you have exercised due diligence.

  • Audit-Ready Documentation: We organize your logs, training records, and risk assessments into a defensible format.
  • Third-Party Validation: We provide an independent "Letter of Attestation" that you can share with partners to demonstrate your HIPAA readiness.
