HIPAA Compliance as a Service, Demystified by HIPAA Vault

HIPAA compliance isn’t getting any easier—but it is getting smarter. In a recent episode of the HIPAA Insider Show, hosts Adam Zeineddine and Gil Vidals explored how HIPAA Compliance as a Service (HCAST) is helping healthcare organizations of all sizes stay compliant without burning out internal teams.

By breaking the process into three main tracks—administrative policy support, technical security, and specialized consulting—HCAST providers like Hippol and Compliancy Group deliver scalable, real-world solutions. Whether it's fending off cyberattacks or helping staff actually follow policy (not just file it), HCAST adapts to what organizations need most.
“Each organization benefits from a comprehensive approach, and together these services create a safety net that ensures compliance without burdening the internal team.”

Quick hits:

• Admin support includes guided policy creation and training, not just static documents.

• Tech security features include encrypted storage, 24/7 monitoring, and multi-factor authentication.

• Consulting goes deep, including human-led penetration testing to reveal and resolve real vulnerabilities.

• From dental offices to telehealth startups, HCAST meets companies where they are—without a one-size-fits-all approach.

Industry News Roundup

Omni Family Health to Pay $6.5M Over Data Breach 

Omni Family Health has agreed to a $6.5 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit stemming from a 2024 cyberattack that exposed sensitive data of nearly 470,000 patients and employees. Although initially claiming no evidence of data theft, the organization confirmed in August that stolen info—including Social Security numbers and medical records—had been posted on the dark web by a threat group called Hunters International.

While denying any wrongdoing, Omni chose to settle to avoid the “risk, exposure, and expense” of a prolonged trial. Impacted individuals can claim up to $5,000 for documented losses or a pro rata cash payout of about $105. Credit monitoring and ID theft protection are also on the table. Affected Californians may receive an extra $100.

The final court hearing is set for February 2026, with claim submissions due by January 5. The org has also committed to beefing up its cybersecurity measures.

Doctor Alliance Faces 353GB Data Theft Claim

A hacker going by “Kazu” claims to have stolen a staggering 353GB of data from Doctor Alliance, a Dallas-based medical billing service provider. The alleged haul includes over 1.2 million files filled with sensitive health info like diagnoses, medications, Medicare numbers, and more. A sample posted online appears legit—but Doctor Alliance hasn’t confirmed if it’s from their systems.

Despite the uncertainty, lawsuits are already rolling in. One suit argues the breach has left patient data in the hands of criminals "for the rest of their lives." The hacker is demanding a $200K ransom by Nov. 21 or else the data goes up for sale.
Ransom threats, legal fallout, and a massive leak—this one’s messy.
