A complete, OCR-Quality™ Risk Analysis Solution.
Trusted by hundreds of health care organizations.

Conducting a “by-the-book” HIPAA security risk analysis that evaluates threats and vulnerabilities to all information assets used to receive, create, transmit, or store ePHI, while also complying with strict guidance from the Office for Civil Rights, is no small task.  Completing an enterprise-wide, asset-based risk analysis correctly, requires the right tools, expertise, and resources.

The Right Tools

IRM|Analysis™

Our HIPAA Risk Analysis solution combines our proven methodology and systematic process with our proprietary, pre-configured IRM|Analysis™ software as a service, to deliver a complete view of exposures across your enterprise.

The HIPAA Security Rule sets out an explicit requirement to complete a periodic Risk analysis at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A).

(A) Risk analysis (Required). Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information held by the covered entity or business associate.

(B) Risk management (Required). Implement security measures sufficient to reduce risks and vulnerabilities to a reasonable and appropriate level to comply with § 164.306(a).

IRM|Analysis™ will enable your organization to meet the HIPAA Security Rule requirement for a Risk Analysis as well as similar requirements found in numerous other regulations.

Risk Analyses performed by, or in consultation with, Clearwater have been accepted by the Office for Civil Rights 100% of the time. Our risk analysis solution also meets requirements specified in the Meaningful Use Stage I and Stage II objectives.

“89% of OCR Enforcement cases involving ePHI cite an insufficient risk analysis.”
