Comparison based on publicly available information as of April 2026
Key differences
Both platforms serve healthcare compliance. The architectural difference is what happens after the paperwork is done.
Compliancy Group focuses primarily on generating the paperwork that proves you tried to comply. Patient Protect focuses on stopping the breach before it happens. Documentation is important — but it does not stop a ransomware attack at 2 AM. Patient Protect monitors your environment, detects anomalies, and triggers automated responses in real time.
With Compliancy Group, compliance is a periodic process — you work through assessments with your coach, generate documents, and revisit annually. Patient Protect provides a live compliance score that recalculates every time a risk is opened or closed. You always know exactly where you stand, not where you stood six months ago.
Patient Protect includes operational tools your practice uses daily — secure messaging, ePHI audit logging, breach simulation. These are not compliance documents; they are clinical security tools built into the platform. Compliancy Group focuses on the administrative side of compliance: policies, training records, and audit preparation.
Patient Protect publishes pricing directly: $39/month for Core, $99/month for Pro. No contracts, no setup fees. Compliancy Group restructured pricing in May 2025 — their Foundation plan starts at $99/month, Growth at $149/month, with higher tiers reaching $249/month and up. Even at comparable price points, Patient Protect includes breach prevention and clinical security tools that Compliancy Group does not.

FAQ
Compliancy Group offers comprehensive compliance coaching, which can be valuable if your practice needs hands-on guidance through the compliance process. Their Foundation plan starts at $99/month (restructured May 2025), with Growth at $149/month and higher tiers available. If your primary concern is documentation and audit preparation, they deliver that. If you need active security monitoring, breach prevention, and clinical tools alongside compliance, Patient Protect covers more ground — Core starts at $39/month, and Pro at $99/month includes breach prevention that no Compliancy Group tier offers.
Compliancy Group restructured pricing in May 2025. Their Foundation plan starts at $99/month, Growth at $149/month, with higher tiers at $249/month and up. Patient Protect starts at $39/month for Core (14 modules) and $99/month for Pro (all 20 modules). At the same $99 price point, Patient Protect Pro includes breach prevention, secure messaging, breach simulation, and an AI assistant that no Compliancy Group plan offers.
The best alternative depends on what you need. If you want compliance documentation at a lower price, Abyde and AccountableHQ are options. If you want to go beyond documentation and actually prevent breaches — with real-time monitoring, secure messaging, breach simulation, and an on-premises AI assistant — Patient Protect is the only platform built specifically for independent practices at $39-$99/month.
Patient Protect takes a different approach. Instead of a dedicated human coach, the platform includes PIPAA — an on-premises AI compliance assistant that answers HIPAA questions in plain English without sending your data to a cloud model. The platform also auto-generates compliance tasks from your risk assessment and closes them automatically when conditions are met. For practices that need human support, Patient Protect offers direct access to a certified HIPAA consultant.
