HIPAA Compliance Checklist
Nearly 500 breaches of unsecured PHI have already been reported in first eight months of 2025—many of which were tied to basic HIPAA failures. This checklist helps ensure you meet core HIPAA requirements and avoid becoming part of next year’s statistics.
What you'll get:
- Step-by-step guide to administrative, physical, and technical safeguards
- Action items to maintain compliance and reduce breach risk
HIPAA Risk Assessment Checklist
OCR investigations repeatedly cite the failure to conduct enterprise-wide risk analyses as a root cause of breaches, including many this year. Use this template to identify risks and vulnerabilities before attackers do.
What you'll get:
- A compliant risk assessment process that satisfies HIPAA requirements
- Follow clear-cut steps to uncover and mitigate risks to PHI before a breach
Business Associate Agreement (BAA) Template
More than one-third of breaches from January to September 1, 2025 involved business associates. This template ensures vendors who touch PHI are contractually obligated to safeguard it.
What you'll get:
- HIPAA-compliant language to define partner responsibilities around safeguarding PHI
- A customizable template to avoid a common OCR penalty for sharing PHI without a signed BAA that outlines each party’s responsibilities
Incident response plan template
In 2025, the largest reported breaches were all tied to hacking incidents that required swift, large-scale responses. This template helps your team act quickly and compliantly.
What you'll get:
- Structured plan for identifying, containing, and reporting incidents
- Roles and responsibilities to ensure a rapid, coordinated response
Vendor Risk Management Checklist
Supply chain breaches in 2025 like Episource (5.4M records) and PJ&A (9.3M records) show how third-party vendors can become the weakest link. This checklist helps you evaluate and monitor vendors to prevent cascading risks.
What you'll get:
- Key questions to ask during onboarding and annual reviews
- Practical steps for tracking and mitigating vendor-related risks
2026 Cybersecurity Checklist
Healthcare breaches from January to August 2025 averaged 76,000 individuals per incident, with ransomware and phishing among the top vectors. This checklist helps you prepare for next year’s most likely threats.
What you'll get:
- Emerging risks and defenses healthcare organizations should prioritize
- Actionable controls to strengthen resilience across people, processes, and technology
