Healthcare Compliance
We help healthcare organizations secure electronic protected health information (ePHI) by assessing and improving the software systems, infrastructure, and operational controls that handle it. Our work is grounded in the HIPAA Security Rule and informed by HITECH requirements, with a focus on how modern, cloud-based systems store, process, transmit, and recover sensitive health data.
Our approach aligns with the foundational security objectives defined by HIPAA and reinforced by HITECH:
Ensuring ePHI is accessible only to authorized users and systems through access controls, authentication, and secure architectural boundaries.
Protecting ePHI from improper alteration or destruction and ensuring accurate, consistent data processing across systems and integrations.
Ensuring ePHI remains accessible when needed, including during outages or failures, through resilient system design and disaster recovery planning.
We translate HIPAA security requirements into concrete architectural and operational improvements across software systems, infrastructure, and integrations handling ePHI.
We analyze how ePHI moves through applications, integrations, data stores, backups, and disaster recovery paths to identify exposure points, trust boundaries, and architectural risk.
We review cloud and infrastructure configuration, including network segmentation, encryption, access controls, and isolation mechanisms relevant to systems processing ePHI.
We evaluate authentication, authorization, and privilege models to ensure only authorized users and services can access ePHI.
We assess logging, monitoring, and audit trail coverage required to detect, investigate, and respond to security events involving ePHI.
We examine how vendors, SaaS platforms, and integrations affect your ePHI exposure and compliance posture, including technical boundaries and compensating controls.
We deliver prioritized, actionable recommendations that improve security while respecting engineering workflows, operational constraints, and team productivity.
Our HIPAA services focus on safeguards related to electronic protected health information (ePHI) and the software systems that store, process, or transmit it. We align our work with the HIPAA Security Rule, concentrating on controls that are directly implemented through software architecture, infrastructure, and operational processes.
45 CFR §164.312(a)(1)
Role-based access, least-privilege enforcement, and authorization design for systems handling ePHI.
45 CFR §164.312(b)
Logging, monitoring, and audit trail capabilities for tracking access and activity involving ePHI.
45 CFR §164.312(d)
Authentication mechanisms ensuring users and systems accessing ePHI are properly identified and verified.
45 CFR §164.312(e)(1)
Encryption and safeguards protecting ePHI during transmission between systems and external services.
45 CFR §164.308(a)(7)
Backup, recovery, and availability controls ensuring continued access to ePHI during failures or disasters.
45 CFR §164.308(b)(1)
Technical boundaries, data sharing controls, and system design considerations for vendors handling ePHI.
Our work focuses on technical and administrative safeguards related to software systems, infrastructure, and disaster recovery. Areas outside of electronic systems, such as physical safeguards or organization-wide policy development are typically addressed in coordination with your internal compliance, legal, or facilities teams.
