Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Get comprehensive Regulatory Compliance support

Who is a “Business Associate” under HIPAA?

Any vendor or service provider that creates, receives, or transmits electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI) on your behalf. HIPAA mandates that these partners follow the same security safeguards as your own organization.

Can we be held liable for a vendor’s data breach?

Yes. If a Business Associate has a breach and you haven’t performed adequate due diligence, your organization can face massive civil penalties and mandatory corrective action plans from the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).

How does SecurityScorecard simplify HIPAA Risk Analysis?

The HIPAA Security Rule requires an “accurate and thorough” risk assessment. SecurityScorecard automates this by providing continuous security ratings for your vendors, replacing static questionnaires with real-time evidence of their security posture.

How does SecurityScorecard support HIPAA oversight for our Board and Executives?

HIPAA requires senior management to be directly involved in risk oversight. SecurityScorecard generates executive-ready reports that translate complex technical data into clear letter grades, providing the evidence needed to confidently issue annual compliance certifications.

What are the current penalties for HIPAA violations?

Fines are tiered based on culpability. For cases of “willful neglect” that go uncorrected, annual penalties in 2026 can reach a cap of $2.19 million per violation category, in addition to the long-term cost of mandatory government monitoring.
