UK Cyber Essentials covers 13.4% of HIPAA Security Rule
9 of the 67 controls in HIPAA Security Rule are already satisfied by evidence you collected for UK Cyber Essentials. 58 are genuine gaps. Every claim below was judged against both control sets and then argued against; the ones that did not survive are published further down with the reason each failed.
What this leaves you to do
HIPAA Security Rule has 67 controls. Holding UK Cyber Essentials already evidences 9 of them, so the work in front of you is 58 controls, not 67, which is 87% of the standard rather than all of it.
That is the whole claim. We do not know your hourly rate, how long a control takes you, or how many people you have, so there is no figure here in dollars or weeks. Every number in that sentence comes from the two counts above it and can be re-derived from the free tools without taking our word for any of it.
This number is directional. It says how much of HIPAA Security Rule your UK Cyber Essentials evidence satisfies. The reverse pair is a different number, often very different, because a security standard has enormous depth for access control and almost none for lawful basis or data subject rights.
31 candidate mappings were examined and 0 were removed. Signed off 2026-08-19, review level machine verified. Mappings were judged by Claude Code rather than read line by line by a practitioner. Every claim shows its reasoning so you can check it. Ask and a practitioner will review this pair.
Where the gaps are
Coverage is never evenly spread. A source standard usually satisfies one part of a target almost completely and barely touches another, and which part is which is the thing worth knowing before you plan the work.
Theme level, not control level, deliberately. The per-control list of what is evidenced and what is a gap is the report itself, so publishing it here would be publishing the thing being sold.
Claims that held
A sample. Each one names the control whose evidence does the work, the control it satisfies, and why.
Both require elevated access controlled and tracked so it stays appropriate.
Both require access removed from those who should no longer have it.
Both require access granted only to workforce approved through a documented process.
Both require access terminated within a defined timeframe when employment ends.
Both require privileged access grants controlled through an approval process.
Both require an authorised individual to approve access before it is granted.
Both require access rights reviewed periodically and modified where no longer justified.
Both require access establishment and change to be documented and authorised.
Claims that did not hold
Nothing proposed for this pair was rejected in review. That is unusual and worth knowing rather than hiding: it means the candidate set was small and every candidate held.
