HIPAA compliance is a critical requirement for any organization handling Protected Health Information (PHI). Whether you’re a healthcare provider, insurer, or business associate, non-compliance can lead to regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and most importantly, a loss of patient trust.
At VISTA InfoSec, we help make HIPAA compliance more manageable. With years of experience in the field and a CREST accreditation backing our credibility, we support you with clear guidance, independent assessments, and practical help to close gaps. Our goal is to simplify the process and take the guesswork out of meeting HIPAA’s Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.
We also offer AuditFusion360, our integrated audit framework that brings HIPAA together with other standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR. It helps reduce audit fatigue, cuts down on control repetitions, and gives you a clearer view of your overall compliance.

Healthcare providers: Every healthcare provider, regardless of the size of the practice, who processes or transmits PHI in connection with certain transactions including claims, benefit eligibility inquiries, referral authorization requests, and other transactions fall under the HIPAA Transactions Rule.
Health plan groups & insurers: Entities that provide or pay for medical care also fall under HIPAA Compliance. This may typically include Health, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Drug Insurers, Health Maintenance Organizations, and Medicare supplement Insurer to name a few. Health plans also include employer-sponsored groups, government-sponsored groups, church-sponsored health plans groups, and multi-employer health plan groups.
Exception: A group health plan with less than 50 participants administered solely by the employer is not a covered entity.
Healthcare clearing houses: Entities who process healthcare information fall under HIPAA Compliance. Healthcare Clearinghouses offering processing services to a Health Plan Group or a Healthcare provider are expected to comply with HIPAA.
Business associates: A person or organization using or disclosing individually identifiable health information to perform or provide functions, activities, or services for a covered entity are also expected to comply with HIPAA. The activities or services may typically include claims processing, data analysis, utilization review, and billing.
HIPAA Audit cost for an average-sized company starts at $8000. Pricing for a HIPAA audit usually depends on several factors, including the Scope of Audit, Number of Locations, and other additional services.
On average it takes 4-6 weeks to complete a HIPAA Audit. However, the timeline also greatly depends on the time taken for implementing the remediation suggested in the gap analysis.
You will receive an audit report documenting the details and validating the organization’s effectiveness of information security management, controls, and practices to protect PHI. The report will detail information about how your client information is maintained securely with all necessary controls in place. Additionally, we provide a “Certificate of Compliance” that you can show your clients and also proudly hang on your office walls and conference rooms.
A HIPAA Audit Report is only valid for a year or 12 months from the date of audit completion.
As per the Industry standard requirement, a HIPAA Audit must be performed annually, or when significant changes are introduced that may impact systems and control in an environment.
