100% Canadian-Based Team with Government Security Clearances
Our Team's Experience Includes Projects With
A Clear Cadence of Proactive Management
Our service isn't a black box. As your compliance provider, we deliver a structured, transparent process so your team always knows what's happening, what's next, and what's expected of them.
The Internal DIY Approach
BAA Isn't a Program: Most companies treat HIPAA as paperwork: sign the BAA, draft a privacy policy, enable encryption. That works until a covered entity sends a security questionnaire or an OCR audit letter arrives.
Questionnaire Fatigue: Healthcare buyers each send their own security assessment. Without HITRUST certification, you're answering the same questions differently for every customer, every year.
Regulatory Exposure: HIPAA requires documented safeguards, a current risk analysis, workforce training, and evidence that controls are maintained. A signed BAA proves you agreed to be compliant. It doesn't prove you are.
The Truvo Approach
Expert-Led Process: Our consulting team brings a proven plan covering HIPAA Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule requirements, plus HITRUST CSF mapping for organizations pursuing certification.
One Program, Multiple Frameworks: We build a single security program that satisfies HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 requirements simultaneously, avoiding duplicate effort across overlapping frameworks.
We follow a proven process that covers every phase of HIPAA readiness and HITRUST certification preparation, from initial risk analysis through assessor coordination.
Detailed Assessment & Strategic Roadmap
What We Do
We conduct a comprehensive HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis, map all PHI flows across your environment, and recommend the appropriate HITRUST assessment type (e1, i1, or r2) based on your buyer requirements and risk profile.
What You Get
Documented Risk Analysis (HIPAA-Required): A formal risk analysis that satisfies the HIPAA Security Rule requirement under 45 CFR 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A), identifying threats to PHI confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
PHI Flow Map: A complete map of how protected health information moves through your systems, including creation, storage, transmission, and disposal points.
HITRUST Scoping Document: Assessment type recommendation (e1, i1, or r2) with a defined scope of controls, systems, and data flows that will be evaluated.
Custom Security Policy Development
What We Do
We write policies covering privacy practices, access controls, incident response, breach notification, workforce training, and business associate management. Every policy maps to HIPAA regulatory requirements and HITRUST CSF control objectives.
What You Get
Complete HIPAA Policy Suite: Privacy practices, access controls, incident response, breach notification, workforce training, and business associate management policies. Custom-written to reflect your actual operations.
HITRUST CSF Policy Mapping: Every policy mapped to the corresponding HITRUST CSF control domain, so your documentation satisfies both HIPAA and HITRUST requirements without duplication.
GRC Platform Implementation & Automation
What We Do
We configure your GRC platform for evidence collection against both HIPAA safeguard categories and HITRUST scoring methodology, so a single evidence set supports both compliance objectives.
What You Get
Fully Configured GRC Platform: Your chosen GRC tool set up and integrated with your infrastructure, configured for HIPAA and HITRUST evidence collection with automated monitoring.
Control Implementation & Remediation Guidance
What We Do
We implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required by HIPAA, and build the maturity evidence that HITRUST assessors evaluate during certification. Your team gets trained on the operational procedures that keep controls running.
What You Get
Implemented Safeguards: Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards documented and operational, with evidence of implementation tracked in your GRC platform.
Security Program Manual: A comprehensive manual covering all manual controls and ownership assignments that the GRC platform doesn't automate. Your single source of truth for operational security.
Penetration Testing & Vulnerability Management
What We Do
We manage the penetration test from scoping through remediation. We engage a qualified testing firm, define the scope covering systems that process or store PHI, coordinate scheduling, and ensure findings are remediated.
What You Get
Pen Test Report: A formal, audit-ready penetration test report covering all systems in scope, with findings classified by severity and mapped to HIPAA technical safeguard requirements.
Validated Vulnerability Management: Proof that you not only find but also fix security vulnerabilities on a defined cadence, with evidence of remediation tracked in your GRC platform.
Internal & External Audit Management
What We Do
We prepare evidence packages for covered entity security questionnaires, ensure OCR audit readiness, and coordinate with your HITRUST assessor for validated assessment. Your team is prepared, and there are no surprises.
What You Get
Evidence Packages: Organized, audit-ready evidence packs that demonstrate HIPAA compliance to covered entities, OCR investigators, and HITRUST assessors.
Pre-Assessment Review: A comprehensive internal review that mirrors the HITRUST assessment process, identifying any remaining gaps before the assessor begins.
HITRUST Assessor Coordination: Assessment scheduled with your HITRUST assessor. Evidence is organized by control domain, your team knows what to expect, and the path to certification is clear.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. HIPAA does not have a formal certification process. HITRUST does. Many organizations pursue HITRUST certification as the strongest demonstration of HIPAA compliance, because it provides a validated, third-party assessment that maps directly to HIPAA requirements.
e1 covers 44 controls and provides foundational assurance. i1 covers 182 controls and is the most common certification level required by healthcare buyers. r2 covers 200+ controls and provides the most comprehensive assessment. We recommend the right level based on your buyer requirements and risk profile.
If you handle protected health information (PHI) of US patients or work with US covered entities, yes. HIPAA applies based on the data and the relationship, not company location.
