Power Digital
How the marketing giant Power Digital achieved HIPAA compliance in just 3 months.
“Constant communication. Weekly meetings. Went out of their way to be minimally intrusive to our business.”
– Steven Stavrou, Director of Client Success, Power Digital
The Challenge
Power Digital is a marketing agency that empowers its clients to maximize their potential by creating great customer experiences, building brand loyalty, and capturing new market share. Power Digital’s passion and processes help clients to become the best versions of themselves.
To better serve clients in the healthcare industry, Power Digital needed to achieve compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Under HIPAA, all business associates of covered entities need to limit the use and disclosure of protected health information (PHI) to permitted use cases. Eligible organizations must also install administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure security, integrity, and confidentiality of PHI.
RSI Security
Gather Information
RSI Security conducted a series of regular 30-minute sessions and longer investigative sessions to confirm the scope of our advisory. These informed our custom-tailored Technical Writing solutions, which produced immediate results in program design and implementation. RSI Security created new policies and made adjustments to Power Digital’s existing policies to comply with HIPAA’s latest Privacy, Security, Breach Notification, and Enforcement Rules.
RSI Security
Build the Foundation
With the necessary information in hand, RSI Security worked with Power Digital to develop and strengthen the policies, procedures, and security controls needed to support HIPAA compliance. This included addressing gaps in existing documentation, establishing appropriate safeguards for protected health information, and preparing the organization for the formal compliance assessment.

Compliance Assessment
RSI Security collaborated with Power Digital to review, inspect, interview, and ultimately verify its overall environment of policies, procedures, and cultural elements complied with HIPAA standards. RSI Security enabled Power Digital to determine what remediations were needed and implement them in the short term to achieve compliance. We also produced evidence for compliance documentation and set up policies to ensure HIPAA compliance over a longer term.
Compliance That Opens Doors
Power Digital set out to strengthen its ability to serve clients in the healthcare industry. In just three months, the company worked with RSI Security to establish the policies, procedures, safeguards, training, and documentation needed to support HIPAA compliance while strengthening its broader approach to cybersecurity.
The result created opportunities well beyond the compliance engagement itself. With stronger protections for PHI and a more mature security foundation in place, Power Digital could confidently pursue larger healthcare organizations and better support existing clients operating in regulated environments. HIPAA compliance became more than a requirement. It gave Power Digital a stronger foundation for continued growth in healthcare and beyond.
THE CLIENT PERSPECTIVE
“The relationship was wrapped up with approval of all documentation they provided for us and letters of attestation and compliance.”
