Every figure below is a planning estimate that varies by scope. See also HIPAA for Canadian startups.
Typical ranges in Canadian dollars. These are estimates for planning, not quotes.
| Cost area | Typical range (CAD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Risk analysis and remediation | $10,000 - $30,000 | Security Rule risk analysis and closing the gaps it finds. |
| Optional third-party assessment | $8,000 - $25,000 | Independent HIPAA assessment some buyers request; not required. |
| Tooling (logging, encryption, BAAs) | Varies | HIPAA-eligible cloud services and controls. |
| Ongoing risk management | $1,000 - $3,000 / month | Documentation upkeep and periodic re-assessment. |
