What is HIPAA?
HIPAA is the U.S. federal law that sets standards for protecting patient health information (PHI). Any organization that stores, processes, or can access that data — including IT and managed service providers — is required to comply.
Why HIPAA Matters for MSPs
If you support healthcare organizations, you are a “business associate” under HIPAA, with direct legal responsibility for safeguarding PHI — independent of your client's obligations. Violations expose you to federal penalties (OCR settlements routinely reach seven figures), litigation, and reputation damage. For MSPs, HIPAA compliance is the price of entry to a large and growing healthcare-IT market.
Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
Every MSP serving healthcare needs a solid Business Associate Agreement with each covered-entity client. Cyber Verify helps you document the safeguards a BAA requires and keep the evidence audit-ready.
