"On December 15, North Country Communications launched as a consultancy dedicated to helping small and mid-sized HIPAA-regulated entities comply with HIPAA's privacy, security, and breach notification requirements. DataBreaches took the opportunity to interview its founder, Rachel Klugman Seeger, about the services she provides to clients through on-site or virtual consultations and the advice she offers to small and mid-sized regulated entities."
"Q: How granular is your work with clients? A: Very granular. HIPAA compliance is all about the details, and my solutions are tailored specifically to each client. I review risk analyses, vendor contracts, encryption practices, policies and procedures, audit logs, and good faith efforts to comply. Business associates are often the weak link, so I help clients build stronger oversight of third-party vendors."
North Country Communications launched December 15 as a consultancy helping small and mid-sized HIPAA-regulated entities comply with HIPAA's privacy, security, and breach notification requirements. Services include on-site and virtual consultations with tailored, granular solutions. Compliance tasks include reviewing risk analyses, vendor contracts, encryption practices, policies and procedures, audit logs, and good faith compliance efforts. Business associates are identified as a frequent weak link and require stronger third-party oversight. Website compliance, state law awareness, common HIPAA privacy/security/breach-notification mistakes, OCR investigations, and emerging enforcement trends are focal areas. 2025 breach data show providers filed most reports but business associates accounted for a majority of breached records.
