For US Hospitals, Payers + Medical Device Firms
When OCR opens an investigation, you have days to prove you ran a real risk analysis, not the spreadsheet you updated once last year. Most health systems can't, because the risk analysis, the HIPAA program, and the business associate inventory live in three different places, maintained by three different people. A single breach across one of your hundreds of vendors turns that gap into a six-figure fine. RiskWatch runs all of it as one program: assess every facility against one control library, score every business associate by the PHI they touch, and produce an OCR-ready evidence package on demand, not after a three-week scramble. (PHI sells for ten times card data on dark markets, and missing risk analysis is OCR's most-cited deficiency.)
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 runs the PHI risk analysis, the HIPAA program, and business associate oversight as one continuous workflow, so the evidence an investigator asks for is already on hand. The annual spreadsheet that auditors flag as a deficiency, the BA list living in someone's email, and the breach risk-of-harm memo you rebuild from scratch each time all become one current record. Run the analysis once and it satisfies the Security Rule and your NIST 800-66 obligation at the same time, with a timestamped trail OCR will accept. (Scored against the HIPAA Security Rule and NIST 800-66 Rev 2.)
Assessments run year-round with a timestamped trail, so you can show ongoing work, not a once-a-year snapshot. (Missing risk analysis is OCR's most-cited deficiency; point-in-time work is the second.)
Score every business associate by the PHI it touches, catch expiring BAAs before they lapse, and collect vendor evidence through one portal instead of email. (OCR has fined organizations on BAA failures alone, with no breach involved.)
RiskWatch handles compliance and risk alongside your Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, or Athenahealth deployment, which stays exactly where it is.
The HIPAA Risk Landscape
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
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.
Survey-based risk analysis across PHI repositories, BAs, devices, and clinical workflows, with NIST 800-66 quantitative scoring.
HIPAA Security + Privacy Rules, HITECH breach notification, NIST 800-66 Rev 2, and Joint Commission survey readiness in one audit-ready system.
Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards mapped to HIPAA Security Rule and NIST CSF 2.0, with ransomware preparedness workflows.
The Coverage Gap
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.

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
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.

Standards & Frameworks
Generic GRC tools were built for office IT and warehouses. RiskWatch was built for HIPAA, HITECH, and the OCR audit that follows your next breach.
Trusted by 500+ risk and compliance teams
We had three different platforms tracking JCAHO, 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.
