Make your IT HIPAA-compliant, with us.
Make your IT HIPAA-compliant, with us.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is designed to keep the electronic protected health information (ePHI) of patients safe and secure whether it is being transmitted, or it is at rest. While you may think that a general cybersecurity strategy, policy, and procedures is enough to ensure this sensitive data is protected, HIPAA rules require you to take more steps to prevent a security breach.
HIPAA regulations require that all covered entities, such as hospitals, insurance companies, and healthcare clearinghouses, develop and implement a comprehensive security program based on their stipulated guidelines. This means that your business must be able to identify any vulnerabilities in your environment, fix the problems with the appropriate tools and technologies available within the industry, and mitigate any further threats.
As a HIPAA-compliant IT service provider, IT Gurus is required to perform a risk assessment on each of our clients’ networks and develop a plan to secure each network from potential threats. From there, we can implement the proper security measures to keep your business and its data safe.
Our team of HIPAA IT professionals will work with you to ensure your security risks are properly assessed, and that the appropriate measures are implemented to protect your data, without compromising your business’s daily operations.
Other HIPAA-related regulations, such as the privacy rules and standards of conduct for covered entities, also apply to IT service providers that work with companies that transmit or store PHI. These regulations require us to keep all our clients’ data secure at all times and restrict access to this information as necessary.
Since we are a HIPAA-compliant IT service provider, we take our obligations seriously. We will work with you to assess your business’s current security posture and develop a plan to improve it. From there, we can implement the proper security measures to keep you and your sensitive data protected from any threats that may come your way in the future.

We know that implementing HIPAA-compliant network security measures can be complex, but with the right tools and technology, the job can be done quickly and efficiently. Our team can ensure your network is properly secured, and that the necessary measures are in place to ensure your protected health information (PHI) has the highest level of security, while still allowing you to maintain your business’s daily operations.

We’re experts in creating and maintaining HIPAA-compliant policies, procedures, and systems. We know how to design the right plan for your office so that you can meet your compliance obligations and ensure that your business is always protected.
Our policy creation process begins with a detailed analysis of the risks to the organization. This analysis helps us understand the types of risks that are significant enough to warrant a policy, as well as identify which risks are not significant enough to require a policy. We then create a comprehensive plan for each risk based on available technology, staffing, resources, and budget – all with an eye toward meeting HIPAA compliance requirements.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
