You don’t know what you don’t know
OCR doesn’t give you a warning before an audit. By the time they contact you, the violation already happened. Most independent practices have never completed a proper risk assessment.
HIPAA compliance software

Patient Protect — Compliance Scoreboard
The real risk
Most independent practices are one audit away from a fine they can't afford.
Your BAAs are probably out of date
Most practices have unsigned, expired, or template BAAs on file. One vendor breach exposes you to joint liability — and OCR treats missing BAAs as willful neglect.
Your policies exist. Your proof doesn’t.
Having a policy document isn’t compliance. OCR wants evidence of acknowledgment, training, and enforcement. If you can’t prove your staff follows the policy, the policy doesn’t count.
Patient Protect solves all three. Starting at $39/month.
Why Patient Protect
The compliance market sells ceremony. Your practice needs operational control.
A PDF checklist doesn’t stop a breach at 2am on a Tuesday.
Continuous compliance monitoring
Real-time scoring, daily task queues, and live diagnostics that keep your practice compliant between audits — every day, automatically.
By the time your consultant finishes onboarding you, you’ve been exposed for six weeks.
Self-service setup in under a day
The SRA wizard walks you through every required assessment step. No consultants, no implementation projects, no six-week timelines.
Enterprise pricing for documentation tools is not a compliance strategy. It’s a business model.
Independent-practice pricing
Full platform access starting at $39/month. No contracts, no setup fees, no per-provider surcharges. Enterprise-grade compliance at a price that doesn’t require enterprise revenue.
Not knowing what’s happening in healthcare right now is not a neutral position. It’s a liability.
Live breach intelligence
Nightly HHS OCR ingestion, trend analysis, and contextualized alerts. Know what’s hitting healthcare before it hits your practice.

FAQ
Common questions about HIPAA compliance software.
What makes Patient Protect different from other HIPAA compliance software?
Patient Protect is built on active breach prevention — not documentation generation. Three capabilities set it apart: an on-premises AI compliance assistant that never sends PHI to the cloud, full BAA lifecycle management with e-signature and renewal tracking, and a live breach intelligence dashboard fed by nightly HHS OCR data. Most HIPAA compliance software generates policy binders. Patient Protect closes the operational gaps those binders ignore.
Is Patient Protect suitable for solo practices?
Yes. The platform is specifically designed for independent healthcare practices — dental offices, medical practices, behavioral health clinics, and specialty providers — that carry enterprise-grade HIPAA obligations without enterprise-grade resources.
How quickly can my practice get set up on Patient Protect?
Most practices complete initial setup in under two hours. The SRA wizard guides you through every required assessment step, policies auto-generate from your answers, and BAA templates are ready to send on day one. No consultants, no implementation projects.
How much does HIPAA compliance software cost?
Most HIPAA compliance platforms charge $149–$599 per month and require annual contracts. Patient Protect starts at $39/month for Core and $99/month for Pro. No contracts, no setup fees, no per-provider surcharges.
Do I still need a compliance consultant?
For most independent practices, no. Patient Protect replaces consultant-driven compliance programs with automated workflows, continuous monitoring, and built-in training. For complex multi-site organizations, the platform can complement existing advisory relationships.
What is the difference between HIPAA compliance software and doing it manually?
Manual compliance relies on spreadsheets, Word documents, and annual consultant visits. It misses 90% of configuration drift, cannot detect breaches in real time, and produces evidence that rarely satisfies OCR auditors. HIPAA compliance software like Patient Protect automates risk assessments, tracks training completion, monitors BAA status, and documents everything continuously — the difference between saying you’re compliant and proving it.
