You don’t know what you don’t know
OCR doesn’t give you a warning before an audit. By the time they contact you, the violation already happened. Most independent practices have never completed a proper risk assessment.
HIPAA compliance software
The compliance platform independent practices actually use.
$9.8M — the average cost of a healthcare breach (IBM 2024). Patient Protect starts at $39/month.
Continuous monitoring, operational controls, and breach intelligence built for practices that can't afford a consultant — or a fine. Independently scanned for network vulnerabilities — zero Critical, High, or Medium findings.

Patient Protect — Compliance Scoreboard
The real risk
Most independent practices are one audit away from a fine they can't afford.
Your BAAs are probably out of date
Most practices have unsigned, expired, or template BAAs on file. One vendor breach exposes you to joint liability — and OCR treats missing BAAs as willful neglect.
Your policies exist. Your proof doesn’t.
Having a policy document isn’t compliance. OCR wants evidence of acknowledgment, training, and enforcement. If you can’t prove your staff follows the policy, the policy doesn’t count.
Patient Protect solves all three. Starting at $39/month.
Why Patient Protect
Good compliance programs document risk. Great ones add operational control.
Compliance documentation is necessary — but it’s not the same as breach prevention.
Continuous compliance monitoring
Patient Protect adds a security-first layer: real-time scoring, daily task queues, and live diagnostics that keep your practice compliant between audits — every day, automatically. Whether you already work with a compliance vendor or are starting fresh.
Traditional onboarding timelines can leave gaps. Self-service closes them faster.
Self-service setup in under a day
The SRA wizard walks you through every required assessment step. Use it alongside your existing compliance partner or on its own — setup takes hours, not weeks.
Independent practices need compliance tools built for independent-practice budgets.
Independent-practice pricing
Full platform access starting at $39/month. No contracts, no setup fees, no per-provider surcharges. Enterprise-grade compliance at a price that doesn’t require enterprise revenue.
Knowing what’s happening across healthcare right now is an operational advantage.
Live breach intelligence
Nightly HHS OCR ingestion, trend analysis, and contextualized alerts. Know what’s hitting healthcare before it hits your practice — a capability that adds a security-first layer to any compliance program.

FAQ
Common questions about HIPAA compliance software.
What makes Patient Protect different from other HIPAA compliance software?
Patient Protect is built on active breach prevention. Three capabilities define the platform: PIPAA — a HIPAA AI compliance assistant that runs without any third-party cloud LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), with air-gapped hardware deployment available; full BAA lifecycle management with e-signature and renewal tracking; and a live breach intelligence dashboard fed by nightly HHS OCR data. Whether you already work with a compliance vendor or are starting fresh, Patient Protect adds a security-first layer that closes operational gaps between audits.
Is Patient Protect suitable for solo practices?
Yes. The platform is specifically designed for independent healthcare practices — dental offices, medical practices, behavioral health clinics, and specialty providers — that carry enterprise-grade HIPAA obligations without enterprise-grade resources.
How quickly can my practice get set up on Patient Protect?
Most practices complete initial setup in under two hours. The SRA wizard guides you through every required assessment step, policies auto-generate from your answers, and BAA templates are ready to send on day one. No consultants, no implementation projects.
How much does HIPAA compliance software cost?
Pricing varies widely across HIPAA compliance vendors — some charge flat rates, some per employee, some require annual contracts. Patient Protect publishes pricing directly: $39/month for Core, $99/month for Pro. No contracts, no setup fees, no per-provider surcharges. Visit each vendor’s website for their current pricing.
Do I still need a compliance consultant?
For most independent practices, Patient Protect provides everything you need without a separate consultant. For practices that already work with a compliance advisor, the platform adds continuous monitoring, automated workflows, and built-in training alongside that relationship — giving your consultant better data and your practice stronger controls.
What is the difference between HIPAA compliance software and doing it manually?
Manual compliance relies on spreadsheets, Word documents, and annual consultant visits. It cannot detect configuration drift in real time, cannot detect breaches in real time, and produces evidence that rarely satisfies OCR auditors. HIPAA compliance software like Patient Protect automates risk assessments, tracks training completion, monitors BAA status, and documents everything continuously — the difference between saying you’re compliant and proving it.
