April 11, 2014 - Compliancy Group, LLC offers tools that provide organizations and entities access to a reliable HIPAA compliance audit. Business associate compliance regulations have increased the need for HIPAA compliant software and other HIPAA compliant tools by expanding the number of industries that must follow the current regulations in order to avoid penalties. The Virtual HIPAA Audit offered by Compliancy Group, LLC is a solution that allows businesses in all industries to prove compliance. The HIPAA compliance audit offered by Compliancy Group, LLC includes a six month review that aids in solving security risks.

Business associate compliance is now a major aspect of any HIPAA compliance audit. Each organization or entity that transmits, stores or accesses sensitive patient health information is required to follow the guidelines outlined by HIPAA. For instance, a business using web-based storage to store patient information must use a storage company that is HIPAA compliant or face penalties under the final Omnibus rules released by the Department of Health and Human Services in January, 2013. The Guard Software and Virtual HIPAA Audit offered by the Compliancy Group, LLC are HIPAA compliant.

"If a covered entity engages a business associate to help it carry out its health care activities and functions, the covered entity must have a written business associate contract or other arrangement with the business associate that establishes specifically what the business associate has been engaged to do and requires the business associate to comply with the Rules’ requirements... In addition to these contractual obligations, business associates are directly liable for compliance with certain provisions of the HIPAA Rules." - Department of Health and Human Services

The HIPAA compliance audit offered by the Compliancy Group, LLC provides businesses with a comprehensive checklist that includes written documentation of the audit. Written documentation is now required to prove business associate compliance. The documentation will identify security risks and provide remediation suggestions and assistance from a knowledgeable HIPAA coach.

The Compliancy Group, LLC offers HIPAA compliancy products for organizations and entities within the medical industry. The Guard software and the Virtual HIPAA Audit can be used by both large and small businesses to prove HIPAA compliance and to identify specific risks to information stored, created, transmitted or shared by any organization or entity.
