HIPAA Security Risk Assessment Software, Built Around a Defensible Security Risk Analysis

HIPAA security risk assessment software is the tool a healthcare organization uses to complete, document, and maintain the Security Risk Analysis (SRA) that HIPAA requires — the same analysis OCR asks for first in an investigation. Medcurity is HIPAA security risk assessment software purpose-built for healthcare: a guided SRA paired with expert human review, so a practice, health center, or hospital produces a defensible analysis, documents its administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, and works a tracked remediation plan in one place. Software plus a real review, not a spreadsheet you finish alone. Plans start at $499 per year and scale with organization size.

Why healthcare teams choose it

• Healthcare-native, not a general platform bent to fit. Built for the HIPAA Security Risk Analysis specifically — the questions, the evidence, and the safeguards a healthcare organization is actually accountable for — rather than a horizontal compliance tool retrofitted from another framework.
• A guided SRA with expert review. You complete the analysis in the software and a Medcurity advisor reviews the work. A person checks it, so the output stands up — not just a form that reports itself complete.
• Onsite physical-safeguard assessment (§164.310). Coverage extends to physical safeguards under 45 CFR §164.310, including onsite evaluation, so the physical layer is assessed on the ground, not assumed away.
• Multi-site SRA under one engagement. Organizations that run several delivery locations complete a multi-site SRA from a single dashboard, with every site represented individually rather than averaged into one snapshot.
• Mapped to recognized standards. The analysis maps to NIST guidance, including NIST SP 800-66, so the SRA reads the way auditors, boards, and partners expect it to.
• Built for lean IT. Right-sized for small and mid-size teams that carry a full HIPAA obligation without a large security staff — guided enough to finish, deep enough to defend.
• Defensible documentation. The result is the artifact an investigator asks for: a current, enterprise-wide analysis tied to a remediation plan you can show you are working.

What you get

A completed, defensible Security Risk Analysis; documented administrative, physical, and technical safeguards; a tracked remediation plan; and advisor access through the year. PolicyScan reads your existing policies to auto-fill SRA questions so you start ahead. Medcurity Academy provides HIPAA training when the team needs it.

What a guided Security Risk Analysis gives you that a free template cannot

A free risk-analysis template is a blank document you fill in yourself. It can start the conversation, and for the smallest, single-location practice it may be enough to begin. What it cannot do is stand in for an accurate, thorough, defensible analysis of where your electronic PHI lives and how it is exposed, which is the artifact an OCR investigator asks for first. Medcurity is built to produce that artifact, and to keep it current between assessments.

• Auditor-ready by design. You get a documented Security Risk Analysis you can hand to a client or a regulator, with the methodology and findings written down, rather than a spreadsheet whose completeness rests on you.
• Guided and advisor-backed. Real expert review is part of the engagement, so the analysis reflects how the Security Rule is actually enforced, not just which boxes a template lists.
• Remediation-tracked, not a one-time snapshot. Findings tie to a tracked remediation plan you work over time, so the analysis stays current after any significant change, which is what the rule expects.
• Multi-site under one engagement. Every location and system rolls into a single enterprise-wide analysis, so a multi-location organization is assessed as one picture rather than a stack of disconnected checklists.
• Onsite physical-safeguard review (45 CFR 164.310). The physical and environmental safeguards a download can never inspect are assessed directly, closing the gap most self-service tools leave open.
• Mapped to recognized NIST guidance. The methodology maps to NIST SP 800-66, so the result is defensible on a recognized framework rather than an ad hoc questionnaire.

For a small practice, Medcurity’s guided Security Risk Analysis starts at $499, and the same platform scales to multi-site organizations and the deeper capabilities above as your footprint grows. If you have started with a free template and hit the point where you need an analysis that is defensible, guided, and kept current, that is the line this is built for.

Frequently asked questions

Is HIPAA security risk assessment software required?

HIPAA requires a Security Risk Analysis — a documented, organization-wide analysis of risks to electronic protected health information (45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A)). Software is how most organizations complete and maintain it defensibly; it is not itself mandated, the analysis it produces is.

What is the difference between a security risk assessment and a Security Risk Analysis?

In practice, none — “risk assessment” is the common search phrase and “Security Risk Analysis (SRA)” is the term in the HIPAA regulation. They name the same required activity.

How often do I need to update it?

OCR expects the analysis to be current — reviewed and updated when your systems, locations, or risks change, and on a regular cadence. A one-time analysis that is years stale is treated as no current analysis at all.

Does the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule change this?

The 2026 update is a proposed rule, not final law. It would tighten and make explicit expectations — an annual documented analysis, asset and data-flow inventories, encryption and multi-factor authentication — that largely reflect how OCR already reads the current rule. Get current on today’s requirement and the proposal holds few surprises.

How much does it cost?

Plans start at $499 per year and scale with organization size.
