HIPAA Compliance
Protect patient health information and maintain HIPAA compliance with automated safeguard monitoring, audit trail collection, and breach detection powered by Secure Raven.
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a United States federal law enacted in 1996 that establishes national standards for protecting the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information, known as Protected Health Information (PHI). HIPAA is enforced by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and applies to covered entities and their business associates.
HIPAA requires organizations to implement three categories of safeguards: Administrative safeguards (policies, procedures, and workforce training), Physical safeguards (facility access controls and workstation security), and Technical safeguards (access controls, audit logs, encryption, and transmission security). Together, these safeguards create a comprehensive framework for protecting PHI throughout its lifecycle.
Compliance with HIPAA is mandatory for healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and their business associates, including health technology companies that handle PHI. With penalties reaching up to $1.5 million per violation category per year and the potential for criminal charges, maintaining continuous HIPAA compliance is both a legal obligation and a critical business priority.
