Healthcare data protection in the United States
What is HIPAA?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule sets national standards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). Covered entities and business associates must implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Who needs HIPAA certification or compliance?
Healthcare providers, health plans, healthcare clearinghouses, and business associates that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI in the United States.
Key requirements & topics
- Administrative safeguards (risk analysis, workforce training)
- Physical safeguards (facility access, device media controls)
- Technical safeguards (access control, audit controls, encryption)
- Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
- Breach notification under the HITECH Act
Typical timeline
HIPAA compliance is ongoing. OCR investigations follow complaints or breaches; HITRUST or SOC 2 + HIPAA mappings are common attestation paths for vendors.
