HIPAA applies to any organisation handling Protected Health Information of US patients — including Indian healthcare IT companies, BPOs and technology providers processing, storing or transmitting PHI on behalf of US healthcare organisations. These organisations are Business Associates and are directly subject to HIPAA.
HIPAA penalties are tiered by culpability. At the lowest tier, penalties start at USD 100 per violation. At the highest tier (wilful neglect not corrected), penalties reach USD 50,000 per violation with a maximum of USD 1.9 million per violation category per year.
Yes. Our HIPAA compliance documentation — particularly the Security Risk Analysis conducted to NIST SP 800-30 methodology — is formatted specifically for HHS OCR audit review. The complete documentation package is also accepted by US healthcare partners and covered entities conducting Business Associate due diligence. We have supported Indian organisations through HHS OCR investigations.
A BAA is a contract between a HIPAA-covered entity and a Business Associate that processes PHI on their behalf. The BAA specifies how the BA will protect PHI, report breaches and return or destroy PHI at contract end. Without a BAA, both parties are in violation of HIPAA.
The Security Risk Analysis (SRA) is an explicit requirement of the HIPAA Security Rule and the most common audit failure point. It requires identifying all PHI locations, assessing threats and vulnerabilities, analysing likelihood and impact, and documenting a risk management plan. Without a documented SRA, an organisation has no defence against HHS OCR penalties. We conduct every SRA to NIST SP 800-30 methodology.
HIPAA requires ongoing compliance — not a one-time exercise. Your Security Risk Analysis must be reviewed and updated when operations or technology changes. Workforce training must be documented annually. Business Associate Agreements must be reviewed when vendor relationships change. We offer annual HIPAA maintenance programmes to manage these ongoing obligations.
