HIPAA

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act for protected health information.

Overview

What is HIPAA?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) establishes national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information (PHI). It includes the Privacy Rule (use and disclosure of PHI), the Security Rule (administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for ePHI), and the Breach Notification Rule requiring timely reporting of data breaches.

Compliance with HIPAA demonstrates to clients, regulators, and stakeholders that your organization maintains robust controls aligned with internationally recognized standards.

Who Needs HIPAA?

  • Healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, practitioners)
  • Health plans and insurance companies
  • Healthcare clearinghouses
  • Business associates handling PHI on behalf of covered entities
  • Health technology and telehealth companies processing patient data
