RiskWatch

For US Hospitals, Payers + Medical Device Firms

One platform for risk, compliance, and security across every healthcare facility.

Healthcare carries more compounding risk than almost any other industry. PHI is worth ten times credit card data on dark markets. OCR audits cite missing risk analyses in the majority of enforcement actions. The average hospital tracks more than a thousand business associates. RiskWatch handles all of it in a single survey-based platform.

Trusted by US hospitals, payers, and medical device firms protecting PHI across multi-facility systems, managed-care plans, diagnostic labs, and pharmaceutical operations.

Why Healthcare Compliance Teams Pick RiskWatch

RiskWatch keeps the HIPAA risk analysis alive year-round.

RiskWatch runs continuous PHI risk analysis, HIPAA + HITECH compliance, and business associate oversight as one workflow, on one platform, scored against the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST 800-66 Rev 2, and tracked through a single OCR-ready evidence trail. Replace the annual spreadsheet exercise that auditors call a deficiency, the BA inventory that lives in someone's email, and the breach risk-of-harm doc you rebuild every time.

Continuous risk analysis, not annual paperwork

Year-round assessments with timestamped audit trails. OCR's #1 cited deficiency is missing risk analysis; the second is showing only point-in-time work.

Built for 1,000+ business associate sprawl

Tiered BA scoring by PHI volume, BAA renewal alerts, vendor-side evidence portal. OCR has fined organizations on BAA failures alone, even without a breach.

Sits alongside your EHR, not on top of it

RiskWatch handles the compliance + risk layer. Your Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, or Athenahealth deployment stays in place, untouched.

The HIPAA Risk Landscape

Healthcare's compliance burden is compounding. The numbers prove it.

PHI is the highest-value record on dark markets. Ransomware now costs more than reputation, it diverts ambulances and delays surgery. OCR investigators arrive after every reportable breach. Each new vendor adds another BAA, another audit point, another disclosure chain.

Three Domains, One Platform

Healthcare risk lives in three concrete domains

RiskWatch covers all three. Each domain has a dedicated workflow, scoring model, and remediation queue. They share data so a single PHI exposure event appears everywhere it matters: in your HIPAA risk register, your OCR audit trail, and your business associate scorecard.

Risk

PHI Risk Analysis

Survey-based risk analysis across PHI repositories, BAs, devices, and clinical workflows, with NIST 800-66 quantitative scoring.

  • 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) risk analysis workflow
  • Tiered BA risk scoring by PHI volume + access
  • Continuous monitoring, not annual snapshot
Explore Risk Management
Compliance

HIPAA + HITECH Compliance

HIPAA Security + Privacy Rules, HITECH breach notification, NIST 800-66 Rev 2, and Joint Commission survey readiness in one audit-ready system.

  • Pre-built HIPAA + NIST 800-66 control libraries
  • 60-day breach clock + risk-of-harm workflow
  • OCR audit-trail exports on demand
Explore HIPAA Compliance
Security

Physical + Cybersecurity

Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards mapped to HIPAA Security Rule and NIST CSF 2.0, with ransomware preparedness workflows.

  • All §164 Subpart C safeguards mapped
  • Ransomware tabletop + incident playbooks
  • Aligned to NIST CSF 2.0 + HITRUST CSF

The Coverage Gap

Most healthcare GRC tools cover one slice

EHR vendors handle clinical workflow. Patient safety event reporting tools track incidents. Generic GRC platforms support 40+ frameworks but none specifically. Specialty HIPAA tools handle the SRA but not the BA cascade. Each does one job. Healthcare compliance teams still operate in spreadsheets to fill the gap.

RiskWatchThe unified platformYesYesYesYesYesYes

RiskWatch is the only platform covering all six healthcare GRC domains: HIPAA Security Risk Analysis, business associate management, breach workflow, Joint Commission readiness, NIST 800-66 mapping, and OCR-ready audit trails. EHR vendors handle clinical workflow. Patient safety tools track incidents. Generic GRC supports many frameworks but none specifically. RiskWatch unifies all six in a single survey-based assessment workflow.

How It Works

One platform. Continuous risk analysis across PHI, BAs, and frameworks.

RiskWatch is a survey-based assessment platform. The work is structured around questionnaires that capture PHI risk, HIPAA compliance posture, and BA security signals in a consistent format, then scored against the framework you align to.

For healthcare organizations, that workflow runs continuously across three concurrent layers per facility. A PHI risk analysis captures repositories, access tiers, and exposure pathways. A compliance assessment captures HIPAA Security + Privacy Rule posture, HITECH readiness, and Joint Commission alignment. A BA assessment captures vendor scope, BAA status, PHI access, and tiered risk score.

The same platform runs all three, surfaces the gaps, assigns remediation owners, and tracks completion. Replace the annual spreadsheet SRA without ripping out your EHR or your clinical incident reporting.

The Workflow

  1. 01
    Assess
    Survey-based questionnaires capture PHI risk across repositories, BAs, devices, and clinical workflows.
  2. 02
    Score
    Responses score against your chosen framework: HIPAA Security Rule, NIST 800-66 Rev 2, HITRUST CSF, Joint Commission, or custom.
  3. 03
    Remediate
    Gaps become assigned tasks. Owners get deadlines. BA findings cascade to the vendor portal automatically.
  4. 04
    Audit
    Evidence trails export to PDF, OCR-ready format, or your auditor's request list. Audit-ready in minutes.

We had three different platforms tracking JACO, OSHA, FEMA, and CMS evidence, plus a paper-based spreadsheet for BAA management. The platform replaced the lot. When OCR called, the Director of Security had the audit trail in front of the investigator on the first call. Total time savings on the security program ran past 70%, and the C-suite reports our auditors used to wait three weeks for now generate on demand.
