We check your systems for weaknesses. Twice a year.
The new HIPAA rules will require a vulnerability scan at least every 6 months.

What Is Vulnerability Scanning?
It's like a health screening for your technology
A vulnerability scan automatically checks your computers, websites, and online services for known security problems — things like outdated software, weak passwords, or settings that could let someone access your data.
It's not as intense as a penetration test. Think of it like a routine check-up versus a full physical. Both are important, and the new HIPAA rules will require both — but vulnerability scans happen more often and catch the most common issues.
What the new rule requires
-
At least every 6 months
The updated HIPAA Security Rule will require scans at least twice 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 scanned, what was found, and how you addressed it. Accountable generates this for you.
-
Issues must be addressed
If the scan finds problems, you need a plan to fix them. We tell you what to do in plain language — no IT background required.
What We Handle
You run your practice. We watch your systems.
No hiring, no technical setup, no confusing reports. Just clear answers about your security.
-
Scans Run Automatically
Choose your cadence — every 6 months to meet the minimum, or monthly/quarterly for more visibility. Scans run automatically and you'll get an email when each one is done.
-
We Find What's Outdated
The scan checks for things like outdated software, weak settings, or services that shouldn't be visible to the internet. Common issues that are usually easy to fix.
-
Results in Plain English
No security jargon. We tell you what was found, whether it's serious, and exactly what to do about it — in language anyone can understand.
-
We Prioritize What Matters
Not every finding is urgent. We sort them by importance so you can focus on what matters most first — not a long list of technical warnings.
-
Everything Stored for Audits
Every scan report is saved in your Accountable dashboard alongside your training, policies, and risk assessment. If an auditor asks, it's all in one place.
-
Help When You Need It
Not sure what a finding means? Our Compliance Success Managers are available via chat, email, phone, or Slack to walk you through it.

"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."
