Healthcare and regulated industry compliance
What it is

Two high-stakes healthcare compliance programs, one experienced team

MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program) is a program that allows a single regulatory audit to satisfy the requirements of multiple regulatory jurisdictions — including the FDA (US), Health Canada, ANVISA (Brazil), TGA (Australia), and MHLW/PMDA (Japan). Adopted by Health Canada in 2019 as the only accepted audit mechanism, MDSAP is increasingly the global standard for medical device quality system oversight.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires covered entities and business associates to protect the privacy and security of electronic protected health information (ePHI). Non-compliance carries civil and criminal penalties — and enforcement is increasing.

Who needs MDSAP & HIPAA consulting?

Medical device manufacturers (MDSAP)

  • Selling into Canada — MDSAP is mandatory since 2019
  • Exporting to Japan, Brazil, or Australia and needing a single audit pathway
  • Seeking FDA recognition as an alternative to 21 CFR 820 inspections

Healthcare organizations (HIPAA)

  • Covered entities: hospitals, clinics, health plans, clearing houses
  • Business associates: IT vendors, billing companies, cloud storage providers handling ePHI
  • Organizations after a breach or OCR investigation

Overlapping regulated environments

  • Medical device companies that also handle patient data
  • Health tech companies building software as a medical device (SaMD)
  • Organizations integrating ISO 13485 with MDSAP requirements

Our approach

Regulatory compliance built into operations — not layered on top after the fact.

  1. 1

    Regulatory gap assessment

    We assess your current QMS or information security program against MDSAP grading criteria or the HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules.

  2. 2

    Remediation planning

    Prioritized action plan addressing procedural, technical, and administrative gaps — mapped to regulatory citations.

  3. 3

    Documentation & implementation

    We co-build or update required documentation: SOPs, risk assessments, breach notification procedures, Business Associate Agreements, and more.

  4. 4

    Mock audit & readiness review

    Internal simulation of an MDSAP audit or HIPAA compliance review before the real thing — findings closed before the auditor arrives.
