Annual penetration testing, handled for you.
The new HIPAA rules will require a penetration test at least once a year. You don't need to understand what that means — just that Accountable will take care of it. Run tests annually to meet the requirement, or set a more frequent schedule if you want extra peace of mind. We run the test, explain the results in plain English, and help you fix anything that comes up.

What Is Penetration Testing?
Think of it as a security check-up for your business
A penetration test is when a security expert (or in our case, an automated tool) tries to break into your systems the same way a hacker would — but safely, and with your permission. The goal is to find weak spots before a real attacker does.
You don't need to understand the technical details. Accountable runs the test, translates the results into clear language, and walks you through exactly what to do if anything needs fixing.
What the new rule requires
-
At least once every 12 months
The updated HIPAA Security Rule will require a penetration test at least once a year. You can run them more often — monthly, quarterly, whatever works for your business.
-
Documented results
You'll need a report showing what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed. Accountable generates this automatically.
-
Issues must be addressed
If the test finds problems, you need a plan to fix them. We give you plain-language steps — no security degree needed.
What We Handle
You focus on patients. We handle the security test.
No hiring, no vendor management, no deciphering security jargon. It's all built into Accountable.
-
We Schedule It for You
Choose your cadence — annually to meet the minimum, or monthly/quarterly for extra visibility. Your pen tests run automatically on whatever schedule you set.
-
We Run the Test
Our automated tools safely test your systems for weaknesses — the same way a hacker would, but without any risk to your data or operations.
-
We Explain the Results
No technical jargon. You get a clear summary of what we found, whether anything needs attention, and what to do about it.
-
We Help You Fix Issues
If something needs attention, we give you step-by-step instructions in plain English. Most fixes are simple and don't require an IT team.
-
We Keep the Records
Every test result is stored in your Accountable dashboard — right alongside your training records, policies, and risk assessment. If you're ever audited, everything is in one place.
-

"We needed HIPAA compliance fast when we started working with healthcare clients. Accountable made the entire process feel manageable — from training our staff to getting our certificate. It gave us the confidence to take on new business."
Don't wait for the deadline
Penetration testing at least once a year is becoming a HIPAA requirement. Get ahead of it now — Accountable handles the test, the report, and the follow-up. Run it annually or more often — it's up to you.
