HIPAA is a U.S. law whose Security, Privacy, and Breach Notification Rules govern how covered entities and business associates protect electronic protected health information (ePHI).
HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is U.S. law that governs how protected health information is safeguarded. Its Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI); its Privacy Rule governs use and disclosure of PHI; and its Breach Notification Rule sets reporting obligations. It applies to covered entities and to business associates that handle PHI on their behalf.
HIPAA has no certification or fixed deadline; it is an ongoing legal obligation. Effort centers on completing a risk analysis, implementing safeguards, and keeping documentation and remediation current.
Public information about the framework itself. We don't claim certifications, assessment status, or authorizations for our own product.
How the platform supports your HIPAA program — from first scope to ongoing monitoring.
Conduct and document a security risk analysis of where ePHI lives and how it is protected.
Map administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to tests and evidence.
Organize policies and Business Associate Agreements as part of administrative safeguards.
Track remediation over time and keep breach-notification processes ready.
Public, high-level control or requirement areas — for orientation, not a complete control list.
HIPAA shares controls with frameworks you may already run. A passing test can satisfy requirements in more than one place — so adding the next framework means reusing work, not repeating it.
No official HIPAA certification exists. Organizations demonstrate compliance through risk analyses, implemented safeguards, and documentation rather than a certificate.
A vendor or subcontractor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits PHI on behalf of a covered entity, governed by a Business Associate Agreement.
Yes. Many Security Rule safeguards overlap with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls, so evidence can be shared via cross-mapping.
