About Hipafy

Built because compliance shouldn’t require a lawyer on retainer

Hipafy exists for one reason: small healthcare practices deserve the same quality of HIPAA compliance infrastructure that large hospital systems have — without the $10,000 consulting bill.

The idea for Hipafy came from a familiar frustration. Healthcare compliance is genuinely broken for small practices. The people who need it most — the solo therapist, the two-dentist partnership, the chiropractor with three staff — are the least equipped to navigate it. They did not go to school to become compliance officers. They went to school to help people.

The compliance industry has not exactly rushed to help them. Most solutions are built for enterprise health systems with dedicated compliance teams and six-figure budgets. The ones aimed at smaller practices are either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both. A Security Risk Assessment that costs $3,000 and takes three months to complete is not a solution for a practice that just needs to get compliant and get back to seeing patients.

“HIPAA compliance should take 30 minutes and cost less than one patient session — not three months and a lawyer. That gap is why Hipafy exists.”

Hipafy was founded by someone who arrived at this problem from an unusual direction. A background in international business, commercial finance at a large multinational, and time spent in the VC ecosystem in California gave a particular lens on what good software products look like and where real market gaps exist. The experience of watching internal audit teams at large organisations — the sheer operational weight of staying compliant — made the contrast with small healthcare practices impossible to ignore.

Small practices face the same regulatory obligations as large ones. The same OCR audits. The same fines for the same violations. But none of the infrastructure. 83% of small practices are missing at least one required HIPAA document. Not because they do not care about their patients’ privacy — they care deeply — but because nobody has built something that fits their world.

Hipafy is that thing. A compliance platform built from the ground up for practices with 1 to 50 staff, designed to get you from zero documentation to a complete, regulation-cited compliance package in about 30 minutes. No consultants. No jargon. No $5,000 invoices.

What we believe
Compliance should be accessible
A solo therapist has the same HIPAA obligations as a hospital system. They should have access to the same quality of compliance tools, at a price that makes sense for their practice size.
Documents should reflect reality
Generic templates are not compliance. Every document Hipafy generates is built from your actual answers — your vendors, your staff, your state, your EHR. If a document does not reflect your practice, it is not protecting your practice.
Honesty over hype
Hipafy is a software tool, not a compliance guarantee. We are explicit about what we do and do not do. Using Hipafy helps you get compliant — it does not make you compliant by itself. That distinction matters and we will never blur it.
Real people, not ticket numbers
Every founding practice that joins Hipafy gets a personal response from a real person within 48 hours. At the scale we are at now, that is not a policy — it is just how we work.

Founder
Hipafy
Hipafy was founded by someone with a background in international business, commercial finance, and venture capital. The compliance gap in small healthcare was too obvious to ignore — and the existing solutions too expensive and overcomplicated to be the answer. Hipafy is the product that should have existed already.

We are onboarding founding practices now

A small group of therapists, dentists, and chiropractors helping shape what Hipafy becomes. Founding pricing is locked in permanently.
