Making Compliance Simple: Why Healthcare Organizations Need the Right Partner

Compliance in healthcare is complex. Between federal regulations such as HIPAA and HITECH, and numerous state-specific mandates, staying compliant isn’t just a requirement – it’s a constant challenge.

At Latitude, we know that compliance isn’t just about being ready for an audit. It’s about building a resilient security program that protects sensitive data, mitigates risks, and is able to adapt to regulatory changes if and when they occur.

A trusted compliance partner is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Healthcare organizations need experts who understand the ever-changing regulatory landscape and can help them stay ahead. That’s where Latitude makes the difference.

Why Compliance Feels Overwhelming in Healthcare

Regulatory compliance isn’t a one-time effort. It requires constant monitoring, assessment, and adaptation. Many organizations struggle because they:

• Rely on check-the-box audits that don’t address deeper security risks
• Lack a long-term compliance strategy, leading to rushed fixes when new regulations emerge
• Don’t have the internal resources to track evolving mandates and requirements for hospitals cybersecurity as we’ve recently seen from multiple states.

Without a proactive strategy, organizations end up reacting to compliance changes instead of preparing for them. This leads to inefficiencies, security gaps, and unnecessary costs.

The solution is a comprehensive, strategic compliance approach that evolves with your business and the regulatory environment.

How Latitude Simplifies Compliance

1. Actionable Security Risk Assessments (SRAs) That Go Beyond the Checklist

Latitude’s Security Risk Assessments (SRAs) do more than just identify compliance gaps. We provide clear, meaningful recommendations that organizations can act on immediately.

• A Risk-Based Approach – Instead of generic checklists, we assess your unique security posture and prioritize high-risk areas that need immediate attention
• Industry-Specific IT Compliance Expertise – Healthcare security isn’t the same as financial security. We tailor assessments to your specific regulatory framework, ensuring HIPAA, and state-level requirements are fully integrated
• Practical Roadmaps – We don’t just give you a report and walk away. Our assessments include a step-by-step IT compliance roadmap, so you know exactly what to do next.

2. A True Compliance Partnership, Not Just a One-Time Audit

Many compliance programs focus only on passing the next audit, but security and compliance don’t stop at a single assessment. Latitude provides:

• End-to-End Compliance Support – We work with you from implementation to assessment, whether it’s HITRUST, ISO27001, SOC2 or NIST ensuring long-term compliance instead of short-term fixes.
• Consulting and Advisory Services (CAS) – Our team can stay engaged year-round, helping your organization adapt to regulatory changes before they take effect
• Internal Alignment Across Departments – We will work with you to assist you in implementing a compliance tracking program to ensure that IT, security, compliance, and leadership teams work together so compliance isn’t an isolated function but embedded into your operations.

3. Future-Proofing Your Compliance Strategy

Compliance isn’t just about meeting today’s standards. It’s about preparing for what’s next. Latitude helps businesses stay ahead of emerging regulations so they’re never caught off guard.

• Proactive vs. Reactive Compliance – We monitor new legislation, industry trends, and evolving threats to help organizations prepare before mandates go into effect.
• Custom Security Compliance Solutions – Every healthcare organization is different. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter compliance solutions. Our approach is tailored to your security and regulatory needs.
• Training & Awareness Programs – Compliance policies mean nothing if employees don’t follow them. We provide engaging, real-world security training to ensure your team understands how to protect patient data and meet compliance requirements.
