Most business associates assume their IT provider has HIPAA covered. 

But the truth is, cybersecurity and HIPAA compliance are not the same thing. This 1-page guide reveals the hidden risks — and how to close the gaps. 

Responsibility

What Your MSP Handles

What HIPAA Actually Requires (Security Rule)

Risk Management

Patch management, antivirus, firewall

Formal Security Risk Analysis, risk mitigation plan

Access Control

User accounts, MFA setup

Documented access policies, unique user IDs, periodic audits

Workforce Training

Occasional phishing tests

Ongoing security awareness, HIPAA-specific training documentation

Data Protection

Backups, endpoint security

Encryption policies, device management logs, ePHI transmission rules

Breach Response

Alerting and basic incident triage

Breach notification timeline, response plan, OCR documentation

Documentation & Audit Readiness

Ticket history, system notes

Policy repository, technical safeguards evidence, audit logs


Your MSP may manage security. But OCR holds you accountable for HIPAA compliance
Without documented safeguards, policies, and breach response plans, you're still at risk — even with good IT support.
