Pre-audit preparation agency
Outright Compliance prepares healthcare organizations with elevated exposure for scrutiny—anchoring every engagement in a full security risk analysis and the dated evidence that proves follow-through.
For hospital systems, specialty groups, scaling telehealth providers, and business associates handling PHI at scale.
What to expect
We distinguish requirements already in force from proposals still moving through rulemaking—and connect every finding to an owner, artifact, and review date.
Every workstream produces a dated, reviewable artifact—not a verbal claim that a control exists.
Current Security Rule duties and Part 2 alignment are treated as in force; proposed changes are preparation inputs, never invented deadlines.
Findings move into a prioritized roadmap with quarterly review, so the management steps after assessment are documented too.
The anchor
The full security risk analysis aligns to §164.308, §164.310, and §164.312. Every surrounding service either feeds that analysis or closes a gap it surfaced.
Common audit failure
A point-in-time assessment with no evidence of the management steps that followed.
§164.310
Facility access, workstation security, device and media controls, disposal, and reuse—extended across remote staff, satellite sites, and acquired locations.
§164.312
Access control, audit logs, integrity, authentication, and transmission security—with evidence of log review and documented encryption decisions.
What surrounds it
That is what turns preparation into something an inspector can evaluate.
Redlined policy set, effective dates, and workforce acknowledgment records
Vendor register, BAA gap list, subcontractor chain, and remediation letters
Per-role curriculum, completion evidence, and competency scores
Scored baseline, prioritized backlog, and quarterly movement
Role-assigned runbook, notification decision tree, and tabletop record
Regulatory clock
Actively enforced, with OCR attention centered on risk analysis and risk management.
The January 2025 NPRM remains proposed. Encryption, MFA, and annual penetration testing belong in readiness planning—not as a fabricated current deadline.
Start with the evidence
Map the exposure, complete the risk analysis, and leave with an owned remediation path—not another static report.
