What's Inside

Five practical sections covering the HIPAA safeguards that come up in every healthcare security review and OCR audit.

1

Administrative Safeguards

Risk analysis, workforce training, business associate agreements, and sanction policies — the program controls OCR reviewers start with.

2

Physical Safeguards

Facility access controls, workstation security, and device and media controls that protect where PHI actually lives.

3

Technical Safeguards

Access control, audit logging, encryption, and integrity controls for the systems that store and transmit PHI.

4

Breach Notification

Incident response steps plus the notification rules and timelines you must follow when PHI is exposed.

5

Documentation & Policies

The required policies, procedures, and evidence auditors expect to see documented and maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this HIPAA checklist for?

Healthcare IT and security leads, compliance and privacy officers, and health-tech founders — whether you're a covered entity, a business associate, or a startup handling PHI for the first time. It's written to be practical for teams of 10-200.

Is the checklist really free?

Yes — 100% free, no credit card, no sales call required. Enter your work email and the PDF downloads immediately. We may occasionally send you relevant security and compliance content, and you can unsubscribe any time.

How does this relate to SOC 2 or managed compliance?

HIPAA's safeguards overlap heavily with SOC 2 controls, so working through this checklist gives you a head start on both. When you want help implementing the safeguards rather than just tracking them, PlatOps offers managed cloud, security, and compliance support.
