HIPAA Quick Assessment

The assessment takes approximately 3 minutes to complete. It consists of 10 multiple-choice questions covering the most critical HIPAA security requirements, with each question offering four answer options ranging from no compliance to full compliance.

No, all data is processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to any server. Your assessment answers remain completely private. You can share your results via a URL link if you choose, but this only encodes your scores in the URL parameters without storing anything on our servers.

Your score is rated on a 30-point scale across three levels. A score of 24 or higher (80%+) indicates a Strong program with well-established controls. A score between 15-23 (50-79%) means your program Needs Improvement with significant gaps. A score below 15 indicates you are At Risk and need immediate action to avoid potential penalties.

No, this is a self-assessment tool designed for educational purposes and initial gap analysis only. It does not constitute a formal HIPAA audit or provide certification. For official compliance verification, you should work with a qualified HIPAA compliance consultant or undergo a formal Security Risk Assessment as required by HIPAA regulations.

HIPAA penalties range from $100 to $50,000 per violation depending on the level of negligence, with an annual maximum of $1.5 million per violation category. Willful neglect that remains uncorrected carries the highest penalties. Beyond financial penalties, organizations may face corrective action plans, reputational damage, and loss of patient trust.
