HIPAA compliance,without the healthcare complexity.
Protect patient data with autonomous PHI discovery, continuous safeguard monitoring, and automated Business Associate Agreement tracking — across all three HIPAA safeguard categories.
Framework Overview
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the United States federal law governing the protection of Protected Health Information (PHI). It applies to Covered Entities — healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses — and their Business Associates.
Covered Entities
Business Associates
Note: HIPAA violations carry civil penalties up to $1.9 million per violation category per year, and criminal penalties including prison time for wilful neglect. The OCR has levied over $130 million in penalties since 2008.
Safeguard Categories
Three layers of PHI protection.
Administrative Safeguards
Policies, procedures, and workforce management that protect PHI.
Physical Safeguards
Physical measures protecting electronic information systems and related equipment.
Technical Safeguards
Technology and policy controls that protect PHI and control access to it.
PHI Inventory Mapping
Automatically discover and classify where Protected Health Information resides across your systems and third-party relationships.
Business Associate Management
Track Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), monitor third-party compliance posture, and manage the full lifecycle of BA relationships.
Breach Detection & Response
Automated incident workflows with HIPAA-specific breach assessment logic to determine notification obligations under the Breach Notification Rule.
Risk Analysis Automation
The HIPAA Security Rule requires a current risk analysis. ONTRACE.AI keeps it current automatically — not just at the annual review.

ISO 27001 mirrors HIPAA's safeguard structure.
HIPAA's administrative, physical, and technical safeguards map closely to ISO 27001's Annex A organisational, physical, and technological controls. Building an ISO 27001 ISMS now creates a foundation that substantially satisfies HIPAA's Security Rule requirements.
