Findings

Plain rules over the facts below. Fix the fact and the finding clears.

No findings. This vendor meets every rule the register checks.

Patient data held without a BAA

Every day the vendor held our patient data with no signed BAA in force, worked out from the holding and BAA histories below. These periods never disappear: a BAA signed later does not cover them. Each needs a breach risk assessment (45 CFR 164.402).

  • Held our patient data from Aug 13, 2025 to Aug 31, 2025 (19 days) while the signed BAA had ended and no new one was in force.

Risk tier

High risk

Score 5. Reviewed every 12 months at this tier.

  • Can reach full patient records+4
  • Lab or device interface carries medium inherent risk+1

Before any security evidence points (patient data access, kind of service, remote access and subcontractors) the score is 5, which is high. That part alone decides whether a SOC 2 report or HITRUST certification is required.

8 and up is critical, 5 to 7 high, 2 to 4 moderate, below 2 low. A vendor without patient data is never above moderate. How the score works

Security evidence

The security questionnaire is the vendor's own answers about how it protects data. A SOC 2 report or HITRUST certification is an outside auditor's report on how well the vendor protects data, rather than the vendor's own answers.

  • Security questionnaire

    Dated May 9, 2026, valid to May 9, 2027

    Current
  • SOC 2 Type II report

    Dated Mar 20, 2026, valid to Mar 20, 2027

    Current
  • HITRUST certification

    Valid for 24 months once received

    Not needed

Before any evidence points it rates high, so it needs a security questionnaire from the last 12 months and a SOC 2 report or HITRUST certification that is still valid.

Update access and data

Vendors change after intake: a phone vendor starts recording calls, an IT vendor is given EHR admin rights. Record what the vendor touches today. The BAA requirement and risk tier are recomputed from your answers.

Patient data access
Data handled
Only if you are lowering access to no patient data

This vendor already holds our patient data, and lowering its access does not take that data back. Record the certificate that confirms it was returned or destroyed. If the vendor keeps the data, keep its access at limited or full.
