HIPAA risk assessment for practice admins and owners
A fixed-fee HIPAA Security Rule risk assessment for a typical single-site, remote engagement, scoped on a short call. Delivered in 2 to 4 weeks. It is Quarter 1 of the Annual Security Program. No free assessments; the 30-minute scoping call is free.
What the fixed fee covers
Harborline's flat fee covers a typical single-site, remote HIPAA Security Rule risk assessment. You get guided interviews, a plain-English report, and a ranked remediation plan. The fee is fixed for that typical scope. There is no hourly meter and no surprise invoice for the agreed work.
Extra locations are a fixed fee, scoped on a short call. See the full pricing grid for multi-site and on-site details.
The optional Physical Security Walkthrough is a separate line, added to the assessment. Remote remains the default for the assessment.
How long it takes
For a typical single-site, remote engagement, Harborline delivers the assessment in 2 to 4 weeks after kickoff. The pace depends on your team's availability for interviews and document requests. Larger or on-site footprints take longer and are scoped before any SOW.

- 01
Assess
The HIPAA Security Rule risk assessment for a typical single-site, remote engagement. Quarter 1 of the year.
- 02
Remediate
Close the gaps the assessment actually found. Your IT or MSP implements controls; Harborline guides and verifies evidence.
- 03
Annual
The Annual Security Program keeps the analysis current with quarterly check-ins and scheduled work.
- 04
Train
Workforce training and tabletop exercises run inside the annual program so the plan does not stall after the report.
Why a dashboard or checklist is not a risk assessment
A dashboard, a questionnaire, or a self-serve checklist can help you organize evidence, but it is not a Security Rule risk analysis. Software does not ask the follow-up question, document judgment, or produce a ranked plan a broker or auditor can read.
Harborline's Trust Game is plain: dashboards-as-RA are not the assessment engagement. We deliver a third-party assessment, a plain-English report, and a ranked remediation plan. Software can support evidence. It does not replace the assessment.

HIPAA risk assessment questions
How long does the risk assessment take?
For a typical single-site practice, Harborline runs the remote HIPAA Security Rule risk assessment in 2 to 4 weeks. The fee is flat for that typical scope. Extra locations are scoped separately. If you want Harborline to confirm your timeline, book a 30-minute scoping call at /book.
What happens after the assessment?
Harborline does not treat the report as the end of the work. The path is Assess → Remediate → Annual → Train: 1. Assess: the risk assessment (Quarter 1). 2. Remediate: close gaps the assessment actually found. 3. Annual: the Annual Security Program. 4. Train: workforce training inside that year-round program.
Who is this for?
Practice admins and owners who need a real HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis, not a portal score. Typical fit is a single-site practice on a remote engagement. Vendors can be in scope, but this page should read as if a practice admin is hiring. Call (502) 41-HIPAA or start at /book.
Can we use software or a checklist instead of an outside firm?
A dashboard, a questionnaire, or a self-serve checklist is not a Security Rule risk analysis. Harborline's Trust Game is plain: dashboards-as-RA are not the assessment engagement. Software can support evidence. It does not replace a third-party assessment.
Is the Annual Security Program required after the RA?
No. You can buy the assessment on its own. When you choose the Annual Security Program, that assessment is Quarter 1 of the year. Many practices continue so remediation and training do not stall after the report. There are no free assessments. There is a free 30-minute scoping call at /book.
How do we start?
Book a 30-minute scoping call at /book, or call (502) 41-HIPAA. Harborline will confirm site count, remote vs on-site, and whether the typical single-site fixed fee applies.
If a single-site assessment sounds like the right next step, book a scoping call and we will confirm fit before any SOW.
