What audit-ready looks like
Proof you can hand to hospital procurement — and the OCR investigator who asks “show me your risk analysis.”
Not a binder of PDFs your compliance officer updated last quarter. Not a HITRUST prep deck your consultant will refresh for another $50K. A living posture that stays audit-ready between assessments — your team, your auditor, and the health-system CISO on the other side of the BAA all reading from the same source.
Epic, Cerner, Athena, AWS KMS, S3 bucket policies — the artifacts an OCR investigator asks for by name, gathered continuously instead of screenshotted the week of the audit.
Every Business Associate, every renewal date, every subcontractor flow-down. When a hospital’s counsel asks “who has PHI and under what terms,” you answer in a click instead of a week.
One control implemented, three frameworks credited. HIPAA Security Rule, HITRUST CSF, SOC 2 CC — mapped once so hospital procurement, payer security review, and your SOC 2 examiner all pull from the same evidence.
Getting here in weeks — not the nine-month HITRUST slog — starts with unblocking the three things every HealthTech founder hits first.
The problem
HIPAA violations cost more than compliance ever will
Healthcare practices face unique compliance challenges. One breach can mean the end of your practice — and a cyber-insurance renewal that quietly triples the premium your malpractice carrier already charges.
HIPAA isn't optional
PHI breaches can mean $50K+ fines per violation. Without documented policies and controls, you're one audit away from disaster.
BAAs don't write themselves
Every vendor needs a Business Associate Agreement. Every BA needs documented security controls. The paperwork never ends.
HHS is increasing enforcement
OCR audits are up. HIPAA enforcement actions hit record levels. 'We didn't know' isn't a defense—documentation is.
The solution
Healthcare-specific compliance automation
Built by people who understand healthcare. Policies that actually work for how you practice — and hold up when a payer, an OCR investigator, or a cyber-insurance underwriter asks for evidence.

vCISO Lite vs. the alternatives
See why HealthTech teams choose us over $150K HITRUST consultants or a DIY HIPAA binder that never quite closes the deal.
We're a 15-provider practice with a part-time office manager handling compliance. The gap analysis showed us exactly where we were exposed, and the audit packs made our OCR review painless. Zero findings—our auditor was impressed by how organized our evidence was.
Sometimes the software isn’t enough.
For the strategic work — negotiating a hospital’s master BAA against their in-house counsel, standing up an OCR audit posture after a reportable incident, running the HITRUST r2 certification alongside a SOC 2 Type II examination, or writing the HIPAA breach-notification workflow you’d rather never use — vCISO Lite pairs with the Other20 advisory team. Fifteen years of HealthTech + Fortune 500 security leadership, priced by engagement, no full-time hire.

Common questions
What healthcare practices ask us
How is HIPAA compliance different from SOC 2?
HIPAA is a federal law with specific requirements for Protected Health Information (PHI). SOC 2 is a voluntary framework for service organizations. Many healthcare practices pursue both—HIPAA for regulatory compliance and SOC 2 to satisfy payer and partner requirements. vCISO Lite supports both frameworks with mapped controls.
How does automated evidence gathering work for healthcare?
vCISO Lite connects to your EHR system, cloud providers, and IT infrastructure. We continuously gather evidence like access logs, configuration settings, and audit trails. When OCR or payers request documentation, it's already organized and ready to export in HIPAA-compliant formats.
What if OCR identifies findings during an audit?
Findings are observations that require corrective action—they're normal and expected during OCR reviews. vCISO Lite helps you track findings, assign owners, set remediation timelines, and document your corrective action plan. Our gap analysis typically identifies issues before auditors do.
Does the risk analysis satisfy HIPAA requirements?
Yes. HIPAA requires covered entities to conduct risk analysis as part of the Security Rule. Our risk analysis engine helps you identify threats to PHI, assess likelihood and impact, and document your risk management decisions—including which risks to accept and which to mitigate.
