About Us
Independent healthcare practices know HIPAA matters, but aren’t always sure where they stand. We provide the structured guidance and documentation needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
​
Sorticulture Systems was founded by Angela Gillis to make HIPAA feel clear and manageable for busy practices. You get a structured approach, straightforward recommendations, and documentation your team can actually use, without adding unnecessary complexity.
Angela Gillis brings over 20 years of experience leading data governance, privacy, and security programs in complex environments at Boeing, Microsoft, and Costco. She now applies that same discipline and clarity to independent healthcare practices, translating HIPAA requirements into practical safeguards, clear documentation, and prioritized actions that reduce risk and support day-to-day operations.
​
Our Mission
Our mission is to help independent healthcare practices protect patient information with clarity and consistency. We do this by translating HIPAA requirements into practical steps, right-sized safeguards, and documentation that supports your operations and reduces risk.
​
Because when you know what to do and why it matters, you can protect patients and move forward with confidence.
​
What We Do
We offer three levels of HIPAA support, so you can choose the option that fits how your practice works:
​
-
HIPAA Risk Roadmap: A one-time engagement that gives you a clear picture of where you stand across the HIPAA Privacy Rule, Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule. You receive a completed Security Risk Assessment, a prioritized list of risks and gaps, plus practical recommendations your team can use to plan next steps.
-
HIPAA Essentials: A full HIPAA program implementation that includes a formal Security Risk Assessment, customized policy and procedure suite, risk register and mitigation roadmap, staff training, and an audit-ready digital binder your team can maintain over time.
-
HIPAA CARE: Ongoing compliance as a service with a named fractional Privacy and Security Officer, recurring risk and compliance reviews, policy and training updates, vendor and IT coordination, and maintained audit-ready documentation so you can reduce risk and gain long-term peace of mind.
The Sorticulture Systems Process
Our approach is designed to remove uncertainty, not add complexity.
Get Clarity on Where You Stand
​
We start by understanding what’s already in place, where expectations are clear, and where uncertainty remains. This creates a shared, accurate picture of your current state.

Address What Actually Matters
​
We focus on the areas that create real risk or ongoing doubt, not theoretical requirements or unnecessary extras. Everything is tailored to how your practice actually operates.
Put Structure Around Confidence
​
We help you document decisions, clarify responsibilities, and establish practices your team can maintain as your practice grows and changes.
