HIPAA Breach Notification Services

Navigate HIPAA breach notification requirements with expert IT forensics and compliance guidance.

A HIPAA breach triggers strict notification requirements — 60 days to HHS, individual notifications, and potential media notice for breaches affecting 500+ individuals. TVG Consulting provides the technical investigation and compliance support healthcare organizations need during a breach.

We help you determine breach scope, meet notification deadlines, and implement corrective actions before OCR comes knocking.

Why businesses move to managed IT

Two offices, both local to the clients they serve. Los Angeles–area support runs from our Burbank office at 217 West Alameda Ave #102, and Middle Tennessee support runs from our Franklin office at 625 Bakers Bridge Ave Ste 105 — so an on-site visit is a drive across town, not a flight.

FBI InfraGard member. TVG participates in InfraGard, the FBI’s information-sharing partnership between the Bureau and private-sector organizations that operate critical infrastructure. It is a partnership for threat intelligence, not an endorsement or a certification.

Managed IT and a vCIO in the same engagement. Proactive monitoring, patching, help desk and layered security for a predictable monthly fee — plus budgeting, lifecycle planning and a technology roadmap, so somebody is thinking about next year while someone else is fixing today.

What the current data says — 2026

$4.99M Global average cost of a data breach — a record high, up 12% year over year IBM, Cost of a Data Breach Report 2026; research conducted independently by the Ponemon Institute. ibm.com/reports/data-breach
48% Share of all breaches that now involve ransomware, even as ransom payouts shrink Verizon Business, 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report. verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir
31% Share of breaches that start with a software vulnerability — now ahead of stolen passwords as the leading way in Verizon Business, 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report. verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir

Two of those three are what a managed IT plan is built to address directly: tested backup and recovery for the ransomware case, and disciplined patch management for the vulnerability case.
