BAA Management

The Key Relationships CRM tracks all Business Associate relationships:

When a BAA approaches renewal, the Compliance Calendar triggers a review assignment to the designated legal reviewer.

• Access control documentation (who has access to what, by role)

Regulatory Data

AlignSure references current HHS Office for Civil Rights enforcement data to provide context:

This data helps organizations prioritize their compliance efforts based on where OCR is focusing enforcement activity.
