Make HIPAA safeguards provable, not theoretical
Comply maps the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules to automated controls, manages your Business Associate Agreements, and keeps PHI evidence audit-ready alongside your other frameworks.
Typical readiness: 6–10 weeks to a defensible safeguard baseline
What it is
HIPAA is the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Its rules govern how protected health information (PHI) is handled — the Privacy Rule covers use and disclosure, the Security Rule sets administrative, physical and technical safeguards for electronic PHI, and the Breach Notification Rule defines how and when breaches must be reported. There is no certificate — compliance is demonstrated through documented safeguards and a risk analysis.
Who needs it
Covered entities — health plans, providers and clearinghouses — and the business associates (including health-tech and SaaS vendors) that create, receive, maintain or transmit PHI on their behalf.
Get HIPAA-ready, then stay that way
Connect your stack, map controls once, and let continuous monitoring keep evidence fresh — across every framework you run.
Security Rule safeguards
Administrative, physical and technical safeguards are pre-mapped to automated controls, so you can show each required safeguard is actually in place and operating.
Risk analysis & management
Run the HIPAA-required risk analysis, track remediation of identified risks, and keep the documentation a regulator or auditor will ask to see.
Business Associate Agreements
Track every BAA, its flow-down obligations and renewal dates, with continuous monitoring of the vendors handling your PHI.
Breach notification workflow
Log incidents, assess whether a breach is notifiable, and run the notification timeline to individuals, HHS and the media where required.
Reuse SOC 2 and ISO 27001
Most HIPAA Security Rule safeguards overlap with controls you already run for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 — Comply maps them so the overlap counts automatically.
PHI access & audit controls
Evidence access controls, audit logging and encryption for systems that touch electronic PHI, pulled continuously from your connected stack.
HIPAA, proven rather than promised
HIPAA does not hand out certificates — it expects you to show your safeguards work and your risk analysis is real. Comply makes that demonstrable:
- Analyse risk to electronic PHI and track every finding to closure.
- Implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards as automated controls.
- Govern every Business Associate Agreement and the vendors behind them.
- Respond to incidents with a breach-notification workflow that stands up to scrutiny.
Because HIPAA shares Comply’s evidence engine, the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls you already run cover much of the Security Rule — so health-tech teams build on existing work instead of starting fresh.
HIPAA questions, answered
No — HIPAA has no official certificate. Compliance is demonstrated through a documented risk analysis, implemented safeguards and policies. Comply gives you that defensible evidence package and keeps it current, which is what auditors and partners actually want to see.
A large share of the HIPAA Security Rule overlaps with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls — access control, encryption, audit logging, incident response. Comply maps your existing controls to HIPAA automatically, so you mostly add the HIPAA-specific pieces like BAAs and the risk analysis.
Yes. Comply tracks each BAA, the obligations it flows down, renewal dates and the vendor's monitoring status, so you always know which third parties can touch your PHI and on what terms.
If you are a provider, health plan or clearinghouse you are a covered entity. If you handle PHI on behalf of one — as most health-tech and SaaS vendors do — you are a business associate. Comply scopes your obligations either way.
A point tool covers HIPAA and nothing else. Comply runs HIPAA in the same control set as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR and DPDP, so health-tech firms selling globally manage one programme instead of stitching several together.
One platform, every framework
Comply maps a single control set across all of these — add a framework without adding work.
