Can Your Organization Remain Compliant when 42 CFR Part 2 is Enforced?

A short, focused assessment that shows where substance use disorder data is most exposed, how compliance breaks down in real operations, and what to address first — without disrupting care. 

Answer a few questions. Get a clear readiness snapshot instantly.

In mental and behavioral health, compliance isn’t just about policies. 

It’s about protecting highly sensitive substance use disorder records, controlling access across clinical and administrative teams, and ensuring your organization can demonstrate compliance when regulators, auditors, or legal counsel ask hard questions. 

A single gap — shared credentials, over-permissioned staff, unclear consent handling, or incomplete logging — can trigger violations within minutes. Access spreads. Audit trails fail. Regulatory exposure escalates fast. 

The 42 CFR Part 2 Readiness Assessment gives you clarity on where your organization is most vulnerable, how enforcement risk shows up in day-to-day workflows, and what to fix first to stay defensible.

Why 42 CFR Part 2 Risk Escalates So Quickly

Most compliance failures don’t start with obvious violations. 

They begin with small, everyday access decisions that compound across EHRs, file sharing, email, vendors, and remote work. These gaps often stay invisible until enforcement, an incident, or an audit puts them under scrutiny. 

Sensitive data spreads faster than expected

Substance use disorder records often touch more systems and roles than intended. Over time, access expands beyond what Part 2 allows. 

Evidence breaks down under pressure

Controls may exist, but logging is incomplete. Consent handling is inconsistent. When asked to prove compliance, teams scramble. 

Regulatory scrutiny follows immediately

Once Part 2 enforcement is triggered, leadership must demonstrate readiness and control — not intentions or future plans.
