Why It Matters

What is at stake.

If your organization handles protected health information, the HIPAA Security Rule requires you to run an accurate and thorough risk analysis, and to keep it current. It is one of the first things regulators ask for after a breach, and missing or outdated analysis is one of the most common findings in HIPAA enforcement actions. We give you the real thing: a defensible risk analysis that shows exactly where your protected health information is exposed and what to do about it.

Scope

Here is what a Barkrum HIPAA risk analysis covers.

01

Data and Systems Inventory

We map where your protected health information lives, moves, and who can reach it.

02

Threat and Vulnerability Review

We identify the realistic threats to that information and the weaknesses that expose it.

03

Safeguards Assessment

We evaluate your administrative, physical, and technical safeguards against what the rule requires.

04

Risk Rating and Findings

We rate each risk by likelihood and impact so you know what to fix first.

05

Remediation Roadmap

You get a clear, prioritized plan to close the gaps, written in plain language.

06

Documentation for Audit

Everything is documented the way regulators expect to see it.

How We Approach It

Structured, practitioner-led work — every time.

We follow the risk analysis approach laid out in the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST guidance, so your assessment lines up with what regulators expect. This is hands on work by an experienced practitioner, not a generic checklist or an automated scan.
