Getting Started with HIPAA Compliance

Getting Started with HIPAA Compliance

HIPAA compliance starts with understanding PHI, assessing risk, and implementing administrative, physical, and technical safeguards—not buying a checkbox tool.

Step 1: Inventory PHI flows

Map where patient or client data enters, is stored, and leaves your organization—email, fax, CRM, documents, chat.

Step 2: Policies and training

Document acceptable use, incident response, and workforce training. Tools cannot replace written procedures.

Step 3: Technical controls

Encryption, access management, unique user IDs, and audit logs form the technical baseline. Confirm BAAs with vendors that touch PHI.
