Ensuring that any third-party services or cloud providers (e.g., hosting, storage) are HIPAA compliant and coordinating the signing of all Business Associate Agreements (BAA’s).
Conducting of a thorough risk assessment to identify vulnerabilities in your entirely technology stack and ensuring a smooth security audit can take place.
Implementing a secure authentication using OAuth or JWT and role based access control (RBAC) to restrict the access of PHI.
Using HIPAA certified data centers for any back end technology (i.e. API’s, databases etc).
If your infrastructure involves a mobile application, ensuring no PHI is stored on unsecured, local devices including any relevant caching technology.
Encrypting data at REST using strong algorithms such as AES-256 and using HTTPS/TLS for all data passed between client apps and your back end technology.
Implementing detailed logging of all access and changes to PHI and ensuring the logs are tamper resistant and retained. Relevant logged events include access, modification, and deletion.
Engineering of secure RESTful APIs with proper token based authentication, data validation, and HTTPS protocol.
Implementation of monitoring and automated alerts for suspicious activities that would violate compliance.
Sanitizing and validating all user inputs that originate from any client side technology - essential to prevent XSS and other client-side attacks.
Implementing secure backup procedures and a disaster recovery plan. Ensure backups are encrypted and stored securely.
Using security groups, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) configurations, and firewalls to restrict database access to only trusted IPs or application servers.
Storing all PHI in your application(s) database(s) using native encryption capabilities or desired algorithms
Storing all PHI in your application(s) database(s) using native encryption capabilities or desired algorithms.
With HIPAA-compliant systems, your team can focus on what matters most:
delivering care with confidence and trust.
Developing a risk management plan with periodic reviews of your entire technical ecosystem.
Keeping all technical dependencies/libraries (back end, front end, APIs, and more) updated and continual monitoring for new security advisories from your technology.
Documenting and enforcing policies for data privacy, security controls, breach notifications, and incident response.
Performing periodic security testing (e.g., penetration tests, code audits) on both back end and frontend codebases - recommended at least once / year.
Keeping comprehensive records of policies, risk assessments, training, audit logs, and testing activities.
Developing and testing an incident response plan that covers data breaches.
