The HIPAA IT checklist for busy practices

A plain-English self-assessment of the administrative, technical and physical safeguards HIPAA expects of your IT — so you can spot your gaps before an auditor does. Free, no obligation.

What's inside

A self-assessment you can run this afternoon

The checklist mirrors the IT controls auditors actually ask about — grouped so you can score your practice honestly and see where to focus first.

  • Administrative safeguards — current risk analysis, policies, training records and a named security official.
  • Technical safeguards — MFA, unique logins, encryption, audit logging and automatic logoff.
  • Physical safeguards — device control, secure disposal and home/remote-office security.
  • Business Associate Agreements — a checklist of every vendor that should have a signed BAA.
  • Backup & breach response — tested backups and a documented incident-response plan.
  • The "most-missed" flags — the items practices fail on most often, called out so you don't.
