What you get

  • ✓
    A short written summary within 2 business days
    by email, with your top 3 next steps in plain English and in priority order.
A snapshot, not a HIPAA risk analysis. This is based on your answers during a short call. It isn't an audit, technical testing, legal advice, or a compliance certification. If you'd like a closer look, the optional Security Risk Assessment is the natural next step.

How it works: two steps, and the second is up to you

Start with the free snapshot. If you want a closer look afterward, ask about the longer assessment.

Questions

Yes. The snapshot and written summary are free, with no obligation. Within 2 business days, you'll receive your top 3 next steps by email.

It's a 15-minute call over Zoom, or by phone if you prefer. Your Zoom link arrives in the booking confirmation. You talk through the six topics with Peter, and within 2 business days he emails a short written summary with your top 3 next steps.

No. The HIPAA Security Rule calls for an accurate and thorough risk analysis, and that takes more than 15 minutes. The snapshot is a quick, practical starting point that shows you where to focus.

Within 2 business days, Peter emails a short written summary with your top 3 next steps in plain English and priority order.

Not for the snapshot. It's a conversation only. We won't log in, scan anything, or ask for passwords. Please don't share any patient information. For the optional assessment, we'll agree on how the review works ahead of time, for example by screen share with you or your IT provider.

No. If they're handy, it can help to know who manages your IT and when your cyber insurance renews.

These matter too, but they don't fit in 15 minutes. They're part of the optional Security Risk Assessment, along with your device inventory, your firewall, and your Microsoft 365 settings.

It's a longer session of about 60–90 minutes. Peter reviews your actual setup and gives you a written report with prioritized fixes. If you need a formal HIPAA risk analysis, ask us, and we can talk through whether to build it into the scope.

It depends on your practice's size and setup. After your snapshot, we'll scope it with you so you know exactly what's included before anything is scheduled.

The free snapshot is over Zoom or phone. On-site visits are available for the optional Security Risk Assessment when booked in advance.
