HIPAA Fines Are Significant — and Avoidable

HHS OCR enforces HIPAA Security Rule violations with civil monetary penalties scaled by level of culpability. MSPs managing healthcare clients share responsibility for Technical Safeguard compliance.

Tier 1 — No Knowledge

$137

to $68,928 per violation. Covered entity didn't know and couldn't have known.

Tier 2 — Reasonable Cause

$1,379

to $68,928 per violation. Reasonable cause, not willful neglect.

Tier 3 — Willful, Corrected

$13,785

to $68,928 per violation. Willful neglect, corrected within 30 days.

Tier 4 — Willful, Uncorrected

$68,928

to $2.07M per violation category. Willful neglect, not corrected.

MSP-Specific Features

Everything You Need to Manage HIPAA for Healthcare Clients

SBCMSP is designed for MSPs managing multiple healthcare clients — each with separate reports, portals, and monitoring.

📄

HIPAA-Specific PDF Reports

Generate audit-ready HIPAA Security Rule reports with your MSP branding. Each report shows control status, failing findings with remediation steps, and a compliance score — ready to share with the client's Privacy Officer or external auditor.

🔄

Continuous Monitoring

HIPAA requires ongoing security activity review — not just annual assessments. SBCMSP scans daily and alerts your team immediately when a control regresses. SSL certificate expiring in 30 days? You'll know before the client does.

🖥️

Internal Workstation Assessment

Healthcare organizations need workstation controls documented. Deploy the SBCMSP Agent on client Windows machines to check BitLocker encryption, Windows patch status, audit policy configuration, and media controls — all mapped to HIPAA Technical Safeguards.

🏷️

White-Label Client Portal

Give each healthcare client their own compliance portal showing their HIPAA score, findings, and trend over time. The portal shows your MSP branding — your logo, company name, and support email. SBCMSP never appears.

📧

Email Security Checks

Healthcare organizations frequently transmit PHI via email. SBCMSP checks SPF, DMARC, DKIM, MTA-STS, and TLS reporting — ensuring email transmissions meet HIPAA transmission security requirements under 164.312(e).

📊

Multi-Client HIPAA Portfolio View

See HIPAA posture across all your healthcare clients at a glance. Sort by compliance score, filter by failing controls, and identify which clients need immediate attention. Manage your entire healthcare client portfolio from one dashboard.
