HIPAA video series
Start with a 65-second HIPAA readiness overview
This opening video explains why HIPAA readiness is an operating program—not a one-time policy binder. Medical practices need their policies, technology, daily workflows, safeguards, and evidence to support one another.
- Know where PHI and ePHI are created, stored, shared, and backed up.
- Validate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards with current evidence.
- Turn gaps into assigned remediation, documented testing, and recurring review.
Presented by Ali Hassani, CISO and cybersecurity consultant, with 25+ years of IT, cybersecurity, compliance, infrastructure, and healthcare technology experience.
Five steps
From uncertainty to verified action
Begin with the checklist, use the score to set priorities, then validate the real environment and evidence.
1
Review the checklist
Confirm what is complete, missing, uncertain, or not applicable.
2
See your score
Use green, yellow, or red as an initial readiness signal - not a compliance determination.
3
Understand the exposure
Connect gaps to regulatory, legal, technical, financial, and operational consequences.
4
Verify professionally
Review risk analysis, policies, evidence, configurations, vulnerabilities, backups, access, and vendors.
5
Remediate and retest
Assign owners, fix priority risks, preserve proof, and repeat the review as operations change.

Professional validation
Move from a quick HIPAA check to evidence-based professional validation
Use the guided HIPAA path for orientation and private self-review. When decisions require evidence, technical validation, formal reporting, or a funded remediation plan, continue into the established HIPAA consulting and readiness service path.
Know when the self-check has done its job.
A self-assessment can help identify questions and priorities, but it does not inspect configurations, validate safeguards, review evidence, determine legal compliance, or replace a documented professional risk analysis.
