Common questions
What is a HIPAA security risk assessment?
It is a structured evaluation of potential risks and vulnerabilities affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information.
Is a HIPAA risk assessment the same as a penetration test?
No. Technical testing may support the assessment, but a HIPAA security risk assessment is broader and considers administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Can Synapse Cyber help with remediation after the assessment?
Yes. Findings can be turned into a prioritized remediation roadmap with ownership and evidence tracking.
