HIPAA Compliance Implementation

When to use

Designing or auditing encryption for PHI at rest and in transit
Implementing access controls, audit logging, or session management for clinical systems
Evaluating a new vendor and determining BAA requirements
Conducting or documenting a formal HIPAA risk assessment
Responding to a suspected PHI breach and navigating notification timelines
Reviewing workforce training or physical security gaps

Core principles

AES-256-GCM at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, KMS for keys — these three together cover the encryption baseline; anything less needs a documented exception
Every PHI access gets a log entry — who, what resource, when, from where, and outcome; 6-year retention minimum, tamper-evident storage required
BAA before byte one — no PHI reaches a vendor system without a signed BAA in place; subcontractor flow-down is not optional
Risk assessment is continuous, not annual — reassess after every significant system change, incident, or regulatory update
Breach notification clock starts at discovery — 60 days to notify individuals and HHS; do not wait for the investigation to conclude before starting the clock

Reference Files

references/technical-safeguards.md — encryption (AES-256-GCM, TDE, envelope encryption), access controls (RBAC, break-glass, session timeout), audit controls, transmission security (TLS, mTLS)
