Client-by-client BA status
Each client and product checked against the HIPAA definition, so you know where business associate HIPAA duties start.
The Problem
Your Clients Signed You Up for HIPAA Duties Nobody Wrote Down
It surfaces when a hospital's vendor review asks for your risk analysis or a client changes its BAA template. Sometimes a support ticket with a patient name lands in the wrong inbox first.
Mixed deadlines
Each client BAA sets a different breach reporting window.
Mixed deadlines
One register with every client's deadline, owner, and notice contact.
Stray PHI
Patient names sit in support tickets and debug logs.
Stray PHI
Logs masked, tickets redacted, and support tools set up for patient data.
Contractor gap
An offshore contractor sees patient data without a BAA.
Contractor gap
Subcontractor BAAs signed, and access limited to what each role needs.
Missing analysis
A hospital review asks for a document you don't have.
Missing analysis
A written risk analysis of your product, team, and vendors, kept current.
Your sales team signed a BAA to close the clinic deal, then another client sent its own template with a 5-day breach reporting clause. Nobody compared them. Patient names sit in support tickets, debug logs, and a shared drive, and your offshore contractor can see all three without a BAA of their own. A hospital's vendor review now asks for your security risk analysis, and the honest answer is that you don't have one. Leave it, and one incident turns every unread clause into a contract breach.
We start with the contracts, because they set your real deadlines. Every signed BAA is read and its promises go into one register: reporting windows, subcontractor terms, and what happens to data at termination. Then we map where patient data actually flows in your product and team, write the risk analysis and policies, and sign BAAs with your own vendors. Your HIPAA program then matches what you promised, not a template's guess.
Every BAA read closely
Signed agreements compared clause by clause, so different client deadlines stop hiding in PDFs.
Patient data mapped end to end
Tickets, logs, backups, analytics, and AI tools traced, because PHI leaks outside the product.
Your own vendors covered
Cloud, support, and contractor BAAs signed downstream, so your promises carry through the chain.
Our HIPAA Compliance for Business Associates Process
From Signed BAAs to a Program Your Clients Can Check
You see your BAA obligations side by side first, then approve the data map, the risk analysis, each policy, and every vendor agreement before your team is trained.
We go over what you sell, which providers you serve, what patient data you touch, and the BAAs you have signed. You leave with a fixed quote. If your contracts and data flow are simple enough for a short policy set, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get When Business Associate HIPAA Duties Are Mapped Contract by Contract
Everything a vendor needs to keep its BAA promises: a status check by client, an obligations register, a data map, a risk analysis, downstream agreements, training, and a breach notice runbook.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, portals, and platforms for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Health Vendors Trust Us With Their BAA Obligations
We work from your contracts, your product, and your team's real habits. That keeps the program practical for vendors without a compliance department or a security hire.
Contracts before templates
We read your signed BAAs before writing a single policy. Your duties come from those agreements, so a generic template can miss the clause that matters.
Engineers who read code
Our team knows logs, APIs, and cloud settings, not just policy language. We can tell where patient data really travels inside your product.
Plain advice on scope
HIPAA for business associates applies only where you handle a provider's patient data. We tell you when a client relationship falls outside it.
Counsel stays involved
We work beside your lawyer on contract terms rather than replacing them. You get the technical evidence while legal advice stays with counsel.
Fixed price by scope
You get one price for your products, clients, and team size before work starts. Extra products get their own quote up front.
Evidence you can share
Policies, the register, training records, and the risk analysis sit in one folder you own. A client review takes hours instead of weeks.

Good fit
Health tech SaaS selling to providers
Your first hospital customer sent a BAA and a long vendor security review, and nobody on your team has written a HIPAA policy before.
Medical billing and coding companies
You handle claims, remittances, and patient balances for many practices, and each client's BAA sets a different breach reporting window.
IT providers and MSPs for clinics
Your technicians reach EHR servers and backups through remote tools, and a clinic just asked for proof of your business associate HIPAA safeguards.
AI scribe and transcription vendors
Your product records visits and stores notes in the cloud, so HIPAA business associates rules apply to every audio file you keep.
Agencies serving health tech clients
You run compliance or engineering work for health vendors and need BAA readiness delivered under your brand, with your client signing off.
Not a fit
You're the provider
You run a clinic or practice and need your own program as a covered entity. HIPAA Compliance Services covers providers rather than their vendors.
Risk analysis only
You only need the written security risk analysis for one client's review. HIPAA Security Risk Assessment Services is the narrower and cheaper fit.
Need a legal opinion
You need contract terms negotiated, indemnity advice, or an answer to an OCR letter. That is legal work for a healthcare lawyer, and we work alongside your counsel.
Budget under $850
You have one small client, no subcontractors, and under $850 to spend. HHS's sample business associate agreement provisions and a short policy set are a better start.

Our work starts at $850 for a BAA readiness review covering up to 5 signed BAAs and one product. You get the status check, the obligations register, a data map, and a ranked gap list. A full program with risk analysis, policies, subcontractor BAAs, and training costs $2,250, and vendors with several products start at $4,500.
A BAA readiness review takes 1 to 2 weeks. A full program takes 4 to 10 weeks, depending on how many products, client agreements, and subcontractors you have. Most of that time goes to the data map and policy approvals, which we schedule around your releases so engineering keeps shipping.
A business associate is a person or company that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits protected health information for a covered entity. HHS defines the term in 45 CFR 160.103. The test is the work you do with patient data, not your job title, and a covered entity can also be another provider's business associate.
Common examples are billing and coding companies, EHR and practice software vendors, IT providers, cloud hosts, transcription services, and claims processors. Lawyers, accountants, and consultants count too when their work involves patient data. A provider's own employees are part of its workforce, so they aren't business associates.
Usually you still are, because HHS treats cloud services that store patient data as business associates even when they can't read it. The narrow exception covers pure conduits, such as internet providers or couriers, that only carry data briefly. Storing encrypted backups for a clinic doesn't qualify for that exception.
A BAA is a business associate agreement: the written contract a covered entity must have before a vendor handles its patient data. It limits how the vendor may use the data, requires safeguards, and sets reporting duties. The same contract is required between you and any subcontractor that touches that data.
45 CFR 164.504(e) lists the HIPAA business associate agreement requirements. The contract must limit uses and disclosures, require safeguards, and make you report breaches and improper uses. It must also flow the same terms to subcontractors and support patient access and amendment requests. It opens your records to HHS and requires return or destruction of data at termination.
Our session covers the patient data your team actually sees: support tickets, logs, screenshots, exports, and recorded calls. It explains what counts as PHI, the minimum necessary rule, phishing, lost devices, and how to report an incident inside the client deadline. Everyone signs an attendance record, and new hires get a short version.
Yes, and ours follows your contracts rather than a generic list. It checks BA status, signed BAAs, a written risk analysis, policies, access controls, audit logs, encryption, subcontractor agreements, training records, and breach procedures. This is the HIPAA compliance business associates owe their clients, and the checklist stays yours after handover.
Your named security officer does, using the register, runbook, and yearly calendar we leave. The calendar sets dates to refresh the risk analysis, retrain staff, review access, and recheck every client and vendor BAA. We answer questions for 30 days after handover, and later reviews can be booked as fixed-price jobs.
