Initial self-check

Answer all ten questions

Choose Yes only when the activity is current and supported by evidence. Not Sure is scored conservatively because uncertainty is itself a readiness risk. Your provisional score updates immediately after every answer.

1Have you confirmed whether the organization is a covered entity or business associate and mapped every location where PHI or ePHI is created, received, maintained, or transmitted?
2Are Privacy and Security Officials formally assigned with authority to manage policies, safeguards, complaints, investigations, and corrective actions?
3Do you have a documented, accurate, and thorough risk analysis covering the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all ePHI?
4Are identified risks tracked with priorities, owners, deadlines, decisions, remediation status, and completion evidence?
5Are required privacy, security, incident, sanction, complaint, and contingency procedures current, approved, and retained as required?
6Are unique accounts, access control, audit logs, authentication, transmission security, endpoint protection, and encryption decisions implemented and reviewed?
7Are workforce members trained for their roles, with documented access approvals, supervision, termination procedures, and sanctions?
8Is there a current vendor inventory with due diligence, appropriate Business Associate Agreements, access paths, subprocessors, and incident duties documented?
9Are incident response, breach assessment, backups, restoration, disaster recovery, emergency operations, and notification procedures documented and tested?
10Do you perform periodic technical and nontechnical evaluations, vulnerability review, corrective action tracking, and reassessment when the environment changes?
Use the result correctly

Strong answers should be tested against policies, screenshots, access lists, risk records, backup results, audit logs, vendor agreements, incident exercises, and technical configuration. A scan can identify technical vulnerabilities, but a scan alone cannot establish HIPAA compliance.
