Conducting a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis is definitely a required mandate of HIPAA compliance if an entity or business associate is in contact with ePHI (electronic patient health information) –  technically the law and HIPAA regulations state it must be performed periodically. 

The developing best practice trend and recommendation is to conduct one on an annual basis (or after any significant change in your technology environment) due to some relatively recent pronouncements that apply to those organizations who need to comply with ‘meaningful use’ reporting requirements – which do require those entities conduct a Security Risk Analysis on an annual reporting basis.   More commentators and practitioners are picking up on this as setting the standard for all and being promoted as a recommended practice trend -- that all entities subject to compliance with the HIPAA Security Rule adopt an approach which provides for an annual conducting/review of the ‘periodic’ security risk analysis.
