There are good compliance platforms out there. Most are built for SOC 2. hms. is built exclusively for HIPAA. If you're small healthcare, the difference matters.

Your buyers don't ask for SOC 2. Your insurer, your EHR vendor, and HHS do. Don't pay for multi-framework you'll never use.
Enterprise tools feel like a cockpit. You need a checklist that explains itself to a front-desk coordinator.
One Privacy Officer, one part-time IT person, maybe a consultant on retainer. hms. is designed for exactly that.
Go with Vanta or Drata. They're great at multi-framework. We're not trying to be.
500+ staff, multi-state, acute care? You need Clearwater or Bluesight. Enterprise GRC is a different sport.
If the goal is $0 and you have the time, the HHS website has everything. We cost $149+/mo — worth it if your time is.
