BlackSheep vs. Compliancy Group
Compliancy Group has been doing HIPAA compliance for a long time and does it well. Their model pairs you with a compliance coach who walks you through the process. That works for small practices that want someone to hold their hand. The limitation: it's HIPAA-only. No HITRUST, no NIST CSF, no 42 CFR Part 2, and no path to any other framework. If your organization grows or your regulatory requirements expand, you outgrow Compliancy Group.

When Compliancy Group makes sense
If you're a small medical practice or dental office that only needs HIPAA, wants a dedicated coach to walk through each step, and doesn't plan to pursue HITRUST certification or other frameworks. Their guided model reduces the thinking you have to do.
When BlackSheep makes sense
If you need HIPAA plus HITECH, HITRUST, 42 CFR Part 2, or NIST 800-66 — or if your organization spans multiple regulatory environments (health system with a retirement plan, clinic with research data). BlackSheep covers 24 frameworks, self-service, $249/mo. You move at your pace, not your coach's calendar.
HIPAA and everything after it.
HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST, 42 CFR Part 2, NIST 800-66. All included. $249/mo.
