HIPAA Security Rule update

    Compare · Versus Compliancy Group · 2027

    Same documentation and training. The security layer is the difference.

    Compliancy Group has run HIPAA documentation and training programs since 2005. Live Compliance covers the same ground, training included, with phishing simulation and dark web monitoring on every plan and SIEM and encrypted email on Professional and up, at a price on the page. That remains the difference when you already have an MSP.

    Straight answers

    Compliancy Group and Live Compliance, in plain words.

    Compliancy Group is a HIPAA and OSHA documentation and training platform with advisors available as an add-on. Live Compliance covers the same documentation and training, with phishing simulation and dark web monitoring on every plan, SIEM and encrypted email on Professional and up, a named compliance team on every plan, and published pricing. An existing MSP does not close the gap Compliancy Group leaves.

    The ten rows above are the facts. These answers are for the questions buyers ask before they read them.

    • Two platforms
    • Checked September 2026
    • 500+ organizations
    • Since 2010
    • 100% audit success rate

    Yes. Compliancy Group lists more than 90 courses with CE credits, assigned and tracked in The Guard. Live Compliance includes the HIPAA, OSHA, and fraud, waste, and abuse training an audit asks for, on every plan, with attestations recorded in the Staff Portal, plus phishing simulation.

    Compliancy Group quotes its pricing. Its pricing pages showed tier prices from $99 a month in June 2026 and a request form as of 10 September 2026, with pricing set by organization size and the modules chosen, and guided onboarding and advisors added to the package. Live Compliance publishes every price: $399, $895, or $1,450 a month plus $8.33 per employee per month, billed annually, with no add-on fees.

    Accountable HQ, MedTrainer, and Live Compliance are the platforms most practices shortlist beside it. Accountable HQ is self-serve and priced for small teams. MedTrainer leads on credentialing and courses. Live Compliance covers the same documentation and training as Compliancy Group. Phishing simulation and dark web monitoring are on every plan, and SIEM and encrypted email are on Professional and up, with a named compliance team on every plan and published pricing. Live Compliance is the fit even when you already have an MSP.

    No. An existing MSP or IT provider does not make a documentation-only platform the better fit. Compliancy Group still leaves SIEM, phishing defense, dark web monitoring, and encrypted email outside the compliance record. Live Compliance works with the MSP you already have. It does not replace them. A named compliance team is included on every plan.

    Accountable HQ fits a small team that wants to run compliance itself, with a Trust Center and badge on every plan and security testing twice a year on its top plan. Compliancy Group is a documentation and training platform with a support team, and advisors as an add-on. It still leaves the security operations an audit examines outside the record. A practice that wants phishing simulation and dark web monitoring on every plan, SIEM and encrypted email on Professional and up, and a named team from the first plan, including when an MSP is already in place, is the Live Compliance case.

    MedTrainer is a credentialing, training, and compliance platform built for organizations past 100 employees, with payer enrollment and a catalog of more than a thousand courses. Compliancy Group is a HIPAA and OSHA documentation and training platform with an AI advisor and a Trust Badge. Neither runs the security layer; both leave SIEM, phishing defense, dark web monitoring, and encrypted email to other vendors.

    No. Existing policies, training records, agreements, and assessments import, so nothing restarts, and a specialist sets the pace around what you already have. The guarantee covers the transition: audit-ready in 60 days, or we keep working at no additional cost until you are.
