Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs entered, by the method stated below it. Attestvio publishes no rule text, no control list, no scoring scale and no benchmark gap rate: the minutes, the rates, the scales and the scopes are yours, and the defaults are a worked example to replace with your own figures.

A HIPAA audit sheet: the arithmetic behind a hipaa compliance audit before the assessor quotes it. Give it the safeguards you assess, the evidence items under each, minutes per item, your gap rate from the last audit and the hours a gap takes to close; it returns the assessment hours, the gaps to expect, the remediation hours and the all in cost. The gap rate is yours, not a benchmark.
Items and assessment hours
54 safeguards at three evidence items is 162 items and 54 hours at 20 minutes each on the worked example. The safeguard count is yours; the sheet works the hours the assessment takes.
Gaps expected, from your own rate
8% of 162 items is 13 gaps and 52 remediation hours at four each. The rate is an input because last year's audit is the best predictor of this year's, and the sheet publishes no benchmark.
The all-in cost
54 assessment hours plus 52 remediation hours at $90 is $9,525.60. The figure is the budget for the audit and its aftermath together, which is the number that is usually missing from the proposal.
Hipaa compliance audit: what compliance officers ask first
How much does a HIPAA compliance audit cost?
Assessment hours plus remediation hours, times the hourly cost: $9,525.60 on the worked example for 162 evidence items at an 8% gap rate. The free sheet on this site works it from six figures with no account.
What gap rate should I enter?
Your own, from the last audit; the sheet publishes no benchmark and the worked example's 8% is arithmetic. What the sheet shows is what any rate costs in remediation hours.
Does the sheet keep the audit findings?
No. The sheet works the size and cost on the page, free, and keeps nothing. Attestvio Pro keeps every audit with its findings, their remediation and their status against the obligations they test.
