HIPAA enforcement is increasing. OCR fines can reach $1.9 million per category violation. New Vertical Technologies provides fully documented, audit-ready HIPAA IT compliance so your technology protects patients — and your organization.
The HIPAA Security Rule requires ongoing technical, administrative, and physical safeguards — all documented and defensible to OCR auditors.
We manage the full HIPAA IT lifecycle — from initial assessment through ongoing compliance and incident response.
We conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current technology environment against HIPAA Security Rule requirements and produce a documented risk analysis you can show to auditors.
We sign a BAA with every healthcare client. This legally documents our responsibilities as your IT provider handling ePHI — a HIPAA requirement many IT vendors refuse to provide.
We configure full-disk encryption, email encryption, and role-based access controls so only authorized users can reach protected health information — and every access is logged.
Encrypted, offsite backups with documented retention policies and verified restore testing. Your data is protected and recoverable — with an audit trail to prove it.
We establish incident response procedures aligned to HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule — so if something happens, your team knows exactly what to do and you meet your 60-day reporting window.
HIPAA compliance is not a one-time event. We continuously monitor your environment, apply security updates, review access logs, and update documentation to keep you audit-ready year-round.

Yes. Under HIPAA, any vendor who creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI on your behalf is a Business Associate and must sign a BAA. If your current IT provider won't sign one, you are out of compliance.
A HIPAA risk assessment is a required administrative safeguard that identifies potential risks to ePHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A security audit may be broader. OCR specifically reviews whether you have completed and documented a risk analysis.
The most cited violations are: lack of risk analysis, insufficient access controls, unencrypted devices, missing or expired BAAs, and inadequate audit logging. We address all of these in our onboarding process.
HIPAA requires ongoing risk analysis — not just once. OCR expects you to assess risks periodically and whenever you make significant changes to your environment (new system, new location, vendor change).
The HIPAA Breach Notification Rule requires you to notify affected individuals within 60 days and HHS within the same window (or annual reporting for smaller breaches). We prepare incident response plans so you know exactly what to do if an event occurs.
Our engineers will review your current technology and compliance posture, identify gaps, and show you exactly what it takes to become — and stay — compliant.
