HIPAA for startups. From $2,000.

What a healthcare customer needs to see before they sign a Business Associate Agreement. A documented HIPAA readiness program is issued by no one, because no certificate exists, never by us. We build the program, the policies and the evidence behind it.

What you get for HIPAA.

The same platform every framework runs on, pointed at this one: your answers, your evidence, your documents.

Security risk analysisThe risk analysis the Security Rule requires, built from your systems and data flows, with each threat rated and tied to a control.
Policies mapped to the Security RuleAdministrative, physical, and technical safeguard policies drafted from your answers, each mapped to the standard it satisfies.
Business Associate AgreementsA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) template and a register of every vendor that handles protected health information on your behalf.

How HIPAA runs here.

Four steps, in this order, with the handoff at the end.

  1. Step 1

    Answer the intake in an afternoon

    Tell us what health data you hold, where it lives, and who touches it. Most founders finish in a single sitting.

  2. Step 2

    See every gap against the Security Rule

    A deterministic gap analysis maps your answers to each safeguard and shows what is missing before anything gets drafted.

  3. Step 3

    Policies and risk analysis drafted

    Policies and the security risk analysis are written from your own answers, so they describe your company rather than a generic one.

  4. Step 4

    Hand the binder to whoever asks

    Share the evidence binder with a customer or, if they want an attestation, carry it into a HIPAA-mapped SOC 2 Type 2 examination through partner firms.

What HIPAA costs.

Published where it can be published, and arranged with the firm that signs it where it cannot.

$2,000 one time for platform onboarding.

That is the intake, the gap analysis, your policies, the evidence binder and the handoff package.

A documented HIPAA readiness program is arranged with no one, because no certificate exists and quoted before it begins.

There is no certification for HIPAA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) endorses none. Polara delivers a documented readiness program, not a seal.

There is no certificate for this framework. What you get is a documented, evidenced program a buyer or regulator can review.

HIPAA questions.

What buyers ask, and what the work actually involves.

No. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) does not issue certificates and endorses no program that does. Buyers accept a HIPAA-mapped SOC 2 Type 2 report or a documented security risk analysis. Polara builds the second and prepares you for the first.
Platform onboarding starts at $2,000 and covers the risk analysis, policies, and evidence binder. If you want a HIPAA-mapped SOC 2 Type 2 report on top, the examination is arranged through partner firms and scoped on a call before anything is billed.
Only if a customer asks for one. Many healthcare buyers accept a documented risk analysis and a signed Business Associate Agreement, while larger ones want a SOC 2 Type 2 report with HIPAA mapped in. We build so either path works.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) expects it to be current, which in practice means reviewed at least yearly and after any material change to your systems. The platform keeps the analysis live, so a refresh is an update rather than a restart.

Unblock the deal.

Tell us where you are with HIPAA and we will tell you what is left.

Polara Labs builds both sides of the audit: the readiness platform startups use to earn a SOC 2 report, an ISO 27001 certificate or whatever their buyers ask for, and the practice OS audit firms use to run the examination. Every price is published on the page it belongs to.

Polara Labs is not a CPA firm. SOC 2 examinations are performed by independent licensed U.S. CPA firms in our network; the audit opinion is theirs alone and is not regulated by Polara Labs. We generate custom policies, evidence checklists, and remediation guidance. You remain responsible for implementing controls and owning audit outcomes. Replace placeholders with your actual controls and have final documents reviewed by qualified professionals before your audit.
