Ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines is critical for organizations handling Protected Health Information (PHI). At United Cyber Firm, we offer comprehensive HIPAA services designed to help healthcare providers, insurers, and other entities protect sensitive health information while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.

​

What is HIPAA and Why is Compliance Important?

​

HIPAA is a federal law that mandates the protection of Protected Health Information (PHI) by healthcare providers, insurers, and their business associates. HIPAA compliance ensures that organizations implement appropriate safeguards to protect patient data, including physical, administrative, and technical controls. Failure to comply with HIPAA can result in significant fines, legal penalties, and repetitional damage.
