HIPAA Compliance Services
for SaaS & Cloud
Platforms

The controls auditors ask about, pen testers probe, and enterprise customers scrutinize during procurement.

• AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit
• Multi-factor authentication, SSO, and Role-Based Access Control
• Automatic session timeouts, account lockouts, and emergency access procedures
• Comprehensive audit trails covering every PHI create, read, update, and delete event
• Tamper-evident logging and immutable storage for forensic readiness

The HIPAA physical safeguards section was written for on-premise data. For cloud-native SaaS, the application is different but no less important.

• HIPAA-eligible data center selection and BAA verification
• Device and media disposal procedures
• Access controls for development workstations and remote engineering environments

Security issues are cheaper to fix early than late. We build that principle into the engineering workflow.

• Threat modeling and PHI data flow mapping at design stage
• Secure coding standards aligned with OWASP and HIPAA Security Rule
• Static (SAST) and dynamic (DAST) application security testing
• Code reviews, dependency scanning, and supply chain security
• HIPAA-focused QA and penetration testing before release

Almost every HIPAA breach traces back to an IAM failure. Either someone had access they shouldn't have, someone who should have lost access still had it, or credentials got compromised.

• Centralized identity providers with SAML, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect
• Just-in-time provisioning and least-privilege access policies
• Privileged Access Management (PAM) for admin and break-glass scenarios
• Continuous access reviews and automated deprovisioning

If a regulator asks what happened to a specific patient's record over the last two years and you can't answer, you have a problem.

• SIEM deployment and tuning (AWS Security Hub, Azure Sentinel, Splunk)
• Real-time alerting on unauthorized PHI access patterns
• Log retention aligned with HIPAA's six-year requirement
• Compliance dashboards for audit readiness and OCR inquiries

Even with strong controls, breaches happen. The difference between a contained incident and a company-ending event is preparation.

• Incident response playbooks tailored to PHI breach scenarios
• 60-day breach notification workflows for individuals, HHS, and media
• Forensic investigation support and root-cause analysis
• Post-incident remediation and OCR audit assistance

Every vendor that touches PHI needs a BAA and so do their subcontractors. This gets complex fast and is where many companies have hidden gaps.

• BAA templates, negotiation support, and execution
• Vendor risk assessments and ongoing third-party monitoring
• Subcontractor due diligence for downstream PHI handlers
