Compliance that closes the loop, not just a checklist.
Full Circle Security gives independent and multi-location healthcare practices a fractional compliance partner — vendor risk, HIPAA readiness, and access governance handled with the rigor of a state auditor and the pace of a small practice.
Most practices don't get breached through their own network. They get breached through a vendor nobody finished vetting.
-
A
The billing platform, the scheduling app, the AI scribe
Every practice now runs on a stack of third-party tools touching PHI — most signed up without a security review, a signed BAA, or a plan for what happens when one of them has an incident.
-
B
HIPAA compliance treated as a once-a-year binder
A risk assessment done in January is stale by June. OCR doesn't grade on effort — it grades on whether the program was actually running when the incident happened.
-
C
No one on staff whose job this actually is
A practice manager or physician-owner ends up owning security and compliance as a side task, without the audit background to know what "good" looks like.
One loop, run on repeat
Compliance isn't a document — it's a cycle. Full Circle Security runs your practice through the same four stages, quarter after quarter, so nothing sits stale until an audit or a breach forces the issue.
Find what's actually exposed
Vendor inventory, access review, and a HIPAA Security Rule gap assessment — scoped to your actual systems, not a generic template.
Close the highest-risk gaps first
A prioritized remediation plan your staff can execute, with plain-language write-ups instead of audit jargon nobody acts on.
Keep watch between assessments
Ongoing access reviews and vendor risk re-checks, so a new integration or a departed employee doesn't quietly reopen a closed gap.
Prove it, on demand
Documentation and evidence kept current year-round, ready for a payer audit, a cyber insurance renewal, or an OCR inquiry.
Where practices bring us in
Three entry points, all feeding the same loop. Most engagements start with vendor risk — it's usually where the exposure is largest and the least owned.
Vendor & AI Risk Assessment
A structured review of every vendor and AI tool that touches patient data — including the built-in AI Vendor Risk Assessment framework built specifically for tools like scribes, chatbots, and scheduling AI.
- Vendor inventory & BAA gap check
- AI-specific risk scoring
- Prioritized findings, not a raw spreadsheet
HIPAA Readiness
Security Rule risk assessments, policy build-out, and workforce training — built around what a small practice can realistically maintain, not a 200-page binder that never gets touched again.
- Security Rule risk assessment
- Policy & procedure development
- Staff training & breach response plan
Access & Identity Governance
Periodic access reviews and identity hygiene for the systems holding your EHR, billing, and clinical data — the control most audits flag first and practices maintain last.
- User access recertification
- Joiner/mover/leaver process design
- Privileged account review
Fractional engagements, sized to fit
A capped roster by design — every engagement gets direct access to the person doing the audit work, not a rotating account team.
Get the basics in place
For a single-location practice that needs its HIPAA and vendor risk foundation built correctly, then maintained on a light quarterly cadence.
- Initial vendor & HIPAA risk assessment
- Core policy set drafted & reviewed
- Quarterly check-in & vendor re-review
- Direct email/call access
Ongoing fractional coverage
For multi-location practices or groups managing a larger vendor footprint, wanting a standing compliance partner rather than a once-a-year engagement.
- Everything in Foundation
- Monthly access & vendor risk reviews
- AI tool vetting as new tools are adopted
- Audit & payer inquiry support
- Priority response window
Full Circle Security is built on real audit experience, not a security-vendor sales script.
Full Circle Security was founded to bring big-firm audit discipline — access control testing, vendor risk methodology, control frameworks — to practices too small to hire a full-time compliance officer, but too exposed to skip the work.
The name is the method: compliance isn't a report you file once. It's a loop you keep running, so the next audit, the next new vendor, and the next new hire don't reopen risk you thought was already closed.
Start with a vendor risk snapshot
A short intake call to map your current vendor and AI footprint, and where the loop has the biggest gaps to close first. No obligation, no sales script.
