Practical HIPAA support for healthcare practices
From risk analysis and training to policies, vendor agreements, and ongoing advisory — Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC helps you build a compliance program that fits your team and your budget.
HIPAA Risk Analysis Support
A Security Risk Analysis is a foundational requirement under the HIPAA Security Rule. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC helps your organization identify gaps across administrative, physical, and technical safeguards — then organizes those findings into a practical risk management plan your team can actually follow.
We do not hand you a generic checklist and walk away. We work with your staff to understand how your practice operates, where protected health information lives, and what controls are already in place. From there, we help you prioritize the most important fixes first, so you are not overwhelmed by a long list of theoretical risks.
Whether you have never completed a formal risk analysis or need to refresh an aging one, our approach keeps the process focused, efficient, and relevant to your day-to-day operations.
- Review administrative, physical, and technical safeguard gaps
- Organize findings into a practical risk management plan
- Prioritize remediation based on your practice's real workflow
- Document your risk analysis process for compliance records
HIPAA Workforce Training
HIPAA requires workforce members who handle protected health information to receive regular training on privacy and security practices. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC delivers engaging, practical training sessions that help your staff understand what HIPAA means in their daily work — not just what the rules say in a textbook.
We offer both annual training for your full workforce and role-based sessions tailored to staff, managers, and leadership. Training covers the Privacy Rule, Security Rule, breach notification requirements, and practical scenarios your team is likely to encounter — from handling patient calls to securing devices and managing vendor access.
We also help you document training completion so you have the records you need if your compliance program is ever reviewed. If your team prefers, we can deliver training on-site, remotely, or through a hybrid format that fits your schedule.
- Annual HIPAA training for all workforce members
- Role-based training for staff, managers, and leadership
- Documentation of training completion for compliance records
- Refresher sessions and updates as rules and security risks evolve

Policies and Procedures
Well-documented policies and procedures are the backbone of any HIPAA compliance program. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC helps you review, organize, and improve your HIPAA Privacy Rule and Security Rule documentation so it reflects what your practice actually does — not what a template assumes you do.
We start by understanding your current policies and identifying gaps, outdated language, or missing procedures. Then we work alongside your team to revise or create documentation that is clear, specific, and practical for the people who will use it every day. The goal is a policy set your staff can reference quickly and follow consistently.
We also help you establish a reasonable review schedule so your policies stay current as your practice, technology, and regulatory expectations evolve.
- Review and organize existing HIPAA documentation
- Align policies with the Privacy Rule and Security Rule
- Customize procedures to match your actual workflow
- Create a manageable policy review and update schedule
Business Associate Agreement Support
Healthcare practices work with dozens of vendors who may access, store, or transmit protected health information. Each of those relationships should be governed by a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) that outlines responsibilities and safeguards. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC helps you organize, review, and manage your vendor documentation so nothing falls through the cracks.
We help you build a clear inventory of your business associates, track which agreements are in place, and identify vendors where documentation may be missing or outdated. We also support the review of agreement language to make sure it aligns with HIPAA expectations and your practice's risk tolerance.
If you are onboarding new technology, software, or services, we can help you integrate BAA review into your vendor selection process so compliance is considered from the start — not after the contract is signed.
- Review and organize vendor documentation
- Track which vendors have signed BAAs on file
- Identify gaps in vendor risk management
- Establish a repeatable process for onboarding new vendors

Breach Readiness and Incident Response Planning
Even well-prepared practices can experience a privacy or security incident. What matters is how your team responds. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC helps you prepare before an incident occurs by building clear escalation workflows, documentation readiness, and a response process your staff can follow under pressure.
We work with you to develop incident response plans that define roles, communication steps, and documentation requirements. This includes preparing for both small internal issues — like a misdirected fax or lost device — and more significant events that may require breach notification under HIPAA.
Our goal is to reduce panic and delay if an incident happens. When your team knows what to do, who to call, and how to document the event, you can respond faster and more confidently — while meeting your regulatory obligations.
- Develop incident response workflows for your team
- Prepare escalation paths for privacy and security events
- Review documentation readiness for breach notifications
- Conduct tabletop exercises to test your response process

Dental practices face unique HIPAA compliance challenges — from managing digital imaging and patient communication to coordinating care across front desk, hygienists, assistants, and specialists. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC provides compliance support specifically tailored to dental offices, orthodontic practices, oral surgery practices, and multi-location dental organizations.
We understand the technology stack common in dental practices, including practice management software, digital radiography, and patient engagement tools. Our guidance accounts for how your team actually works — from check-in and charting to insurance processing and referral coordination.

Ongoing Advisory Support
HIPAA compliance is not a one-time project. It is an ongoing responsibility that evolves as your practice grows, technology changes, and regulatory expectations shift. Intermountain Compliance Advisory Group, LLC offers monthly or quarterly advisory support for practices that want a trusted partner available throughout the year.
With ongoing support, you have a dedicated advisor who understands your organization and is available to answer questions, review changes, and help you stay ahead of emerging issues. This might include guidance on a new software purchase, a staffing change that affects access controls, or a regulatory update that requires policy adjustments.
Our advisory relationship is designed to be practical, not burdensome. You get the support you need without being locked into unnecessary meetings or rigid schedules. We adapt our engagement to your pace and your priorities.
- Monthly or quarterly check-ins with your compliance advisor
- Guidance on emerging security risks and regulatory updates
