A secure track to compliance

The HIPAA Security Rule requires you to take administrative, physical, and technical measures to achieve compliance with its mandates. Unfortunately, the Security Rule gives little concrete guidance about what measures you need to take to become compliant.
ProStructure Consulting can help you recognize what needs to be done and get you compliant fast.

The Security Rule offers little guidance on how to comply

Translating the mandates of the Security Rule into concrete measures that are technically and fiscally applicable to your specific organization can be an incredibly difficult task. Often your staff don’t have the time to become experts in the HIPAA Security Rule regulations or they don't understand the acceptable trade-offs in security, risk and cost.

Steps to becoming compliant

The process to becoming compliant has several clear stages:

• Data collection

• Analysis and creation of a security profile based on the mandates of the Security Rule

• Report with specific recommendations for changes to ensure compliance

• Implementation of changes to systems, networks, policies, and processes

• Final assessment and review

ProStructure Consulting tailors our assistance to match your needs, available resources and technical skills. We can help you in just one or in all of these areas to ensure that you reach compliance in a timely manner and within budget.

Avoid unnecessary downtime and exposure

At ProStructure Consulting we have worked with many clients to bring their IT systems, processes, and policies into compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule. We have helped them avoid the pitfalls, and given them the ability to understand the true costs, implications, and timelines before they embark on costly changes. We maintain a strict vendor neutrality policy, and have no financial arrangements with any IT product or service provider, so that any recommendation we make is based only on what is best for you. All of our security experts have at least 10 years experience in IT security and managing change in enterprise IS environments.
