Nexxis Network Solutions
HIPAA Audits & Compliance
Understand where your technology stands against HIPAA safeguards and what to do next.
Overview
About HIPAA Audits & Compliance
Healthcare providers and organizations that handle protected health information (PHI) must protect that information under the HIPAA Security Rule. Nexxis Network Solutions helps medical and healthcare-related offices assess the technical side of that obligation: the networks, devices, access controls and backups that store or transmit PHI.
Our role is assessment and consulting. We identify gaps and risks in your technology environment, recommend remediation, and can help implement technical fixes. Compliance itself is an ongoing organizational responsibility that also includes policies, training and administrative safeguards, and no technology vendor can make an organization compliant on its own.
Reviews should be repeated regularly and whenever new devices or systems are added, because a network that was reviewed last year may have changed since.

FAQ
Common questions
Will this make my practice HIPAA compliant?
No single assessment can do that. We assess and help improve technical safeguards. Overall compliance also depends on your policies, training, risk analysis and administrative safeguards, which remain your organization's responsibility. Legal questions should go to qualified counsel.
Is this a certification?
No. There is no official government HIPAA certification. This is a consulting assessment of your technology environment.
How often should we be reviewed?
Regularly, and whenever you add devices, software or locations. Changes after a review can introduce new risks.
NEXXIS provides technology assessment and consulting. This service does not constitute legal advice, certification or a guarantee of regulatory compliance.
