Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a HIPAA consultant and compliance software?
Software generates templates and checklists. A consultant evaluates your specific environment, identifies real risks, and builds a remediation roadmap. PTG combines both through our consulting team and ComplianceArmor platform.
How long does a HIPAA compliance assessment take?
A comprehensive assessment typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on organization size and complexity. Remediation timelines vary from 3-6 months for most organizations.
Can PTG serve as our virtual HIPAA Compliance Officer?
Yes. The Security Rule requires a designated Security Officer. PTG can fill this role as a virtual compliance officer, handling policy management, risk assessments, training coordination, and incident response.
What is the most common HIPAA violation?
Failure to conduct a security risk assessment. OCR has cited inadequate risk analysis as the top violation in enforcement actions, with settlements exceeding $16 million (Anthem, 2018).
Does PTG help with both covered entities and business associates?
Yes. We serve both categories. Since the HITECH Act, business associates face the same penalties as covered entities, making compliance equally critical for both.
