Risk Isn’t the Problem. Unknown Risk Are.

How to find the gaps that could ruin compliance (or your next deal)

There’s a difference between risk and exposure.

Every health tech company takes risks.

You have to.

That’s how you grow, innovate, and ship fast.

But unknown risk?

That’s the stuff that gets teams blindsided in audits, crushed by fines, or dropped during due diligence.

And most companies don’t see it coming.

Because by the time it’s surfaced, it’s too late.

The Real Threat? Blind Spots No One Owns

Most security gaps in scaling health tech companies don’t come from obvious failures.

They come from assumptions.

Like assuming:

❌ The dev team knows what they have to monitor regularly

❌ The BAA you signed is nothing more than your typical contract

❌ You only need to do a risk assessment annually

❌ Someone else documented that exception request

Let me be clear, this isn’t about bad teams.

It’s about fast-moving teams who outgrow their processes and don’t know it.

You don’t need to be perfect.

But you do need visibility.

That’s where our HIPAA Exposure Guide comes in.

It helps you find blind spots before an audit, breach, or security teams exposes them.

Real World Scenarios of Where Risk Hides

Here are 5 places we regularly find exposure in digital health companies between 10 and 50 employees:

✅ Cloud misconfigurations

Developers move fast. PHI stored in buckets are publicly accessible. Logging tools don't store logs long enough. You won’t find this in a static audit.

✅ Outdated BAAs and vendor agreements

Your vendor list has doubled in the last year. We find vendors uncapable of signing a BAA. When’s the last time you audited it?

✅ “Ghost” systems

That one integration your team built last year? It hasn't been decommissioned and it's not monitored.

✅ Fragmented risk ownership

Who owns the risk register? Who prioritizes remediation work? If the answer is “sort of a shared effort,” you’re exposed.

✅ No documented remediation process

You identified issues. Great. But did anyone follow up? Track them? Close the loop?

This is exactly what the HIPAA Exposure Guide helps you uncover.

You’re Not Behind. You’re Scaling.

Let’s be clear: You’re not failing at compliance.

You’re scaling out of it.

The policies that worked at 5 employees don’t scale to 48.

The person who “owned” HIPAA at Series A isn’t available anymore.

And your security responsibilities?

They’re scattered across Jira tickets, Slack threads, and good intentions.

This is normal.

But it’s also why most growth-stage health tech teams think they’re covered, until they’re not.

Risk Can Be Managed. Blind Spots Can’t.

When you know your risks, you can control them.

When you don’t, they control you.

That’s why every scaling health tech company should regularly audit not just what they know, but what they’ve stopped noticing.

You can’t fix what’s invisible.

But you can get visibility fast.
