How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the number of required compliance controls for your jurisdiction (HIPAA, state telehealth laws).
- Input how many controls are currently implemented and verified.
- Set the data encryption level and the platform HIPAA Business Associate Agreement status.
- Review the Compliance Score out of 100 and the Compliance Risk Level.
- Use the Gap Analysis output to prioritize the controls with the highest regulatory risk if unaddressed.
How the result changes with Encryption Score (0-100)
| Encryption Score (0-100) | Compliance Score (0-100) | Risk Level (0=High, 1=Mod, 2=Low) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 50.3 | 0 |
| 35 | 56.6 | 0 |
| 65 | 64.1 | 1 |
| 90 | 70.3 | 1 |
What each input means
- Encryption Score (0-100)
- End-to-end encryption, data-at-rest encryption, TLS for data in transit. 100 = fully encrypted.
- BAA Coverage (0-100)
- Business Associate Agreements with all vendors handling PHI. 100 = all BAAs signed.
- Access Controls (0-100)
- MFA, role-based access, automatic session timeout, unique user IDs. 100 = fully implemented.
- Audit Logging (0-100)
- System activity logs, access tracking, log review process. 100 = comprehensive audit trail.
- Staff Training (0-100)
- Annual HIPAA training completion, telehealth-specific protocols. 100 = all staff current.
- Incident Response (0-100)
- Documented breach response plan, notification procedures, tested annually. 100 = fully prepared.
- Risk Assessment (0-100)
- Security Risk Assessment (SRA) completion — required annually for Promoting Interoperability.
- Number of Providers
- Number of clinicians/providers using the telehealth platform.
What each result means
- Compliance Score (0-100)
- Weighted HIPAA compliance score. >80 = Low risk, 60-80 = Moderate, <60 = High risk.
- Risk Level (0=High, 1=Mod, 2=Low)
- Overall risk classification based on compliance score.
- Annual Compliance Cost ($)
- Estimated annual cost to maintain current compliance level.
- Gap Remediation Cost ($)
- Estimated one-time cost to close identified compliance gaps.
- Weakest Area Score
- Score of the lowest-performing compliance domain — prioritize this first.
- Potential Penalty Exposure ($)
- Estimated OCR fine exposure range based on current compliance posture.
How this is calculated
Worked example, using the default values
- Identify Input Parameters4 parametersEncryption Score (0-100) = 80, BAA Coverage (0-100) = 90, Access Controls (0-100) = 70, Audit Logging (0-100) = 60 = 8 input(s) provided
- Calculate Compliance ScoreCompliance Score = encryption * weights.encryption +67.8 = 67.8
- Calculate Risk Level1 = 1
- Calculate Annual Compliance CostAnnual Compliance Cost = baseCost + gapCost * sqrt(providerCount)25060 = $25,060
- Calculate Gap Remediation CostGap Remediation Cost = (5060 = $5,060
