We design PHI-safe architecture with encryption, audit-ready logging, role-based access, and BAA coverage across the stack — so your healthcare software is compliant before launch, not after an audit.
HIPAA defines three categories of safeguards — administrative, physical, and technical — and every one of them has to be baked into your architecture, your codebase, and your day-to-day operations from the first commit. When teams treat compliance as a late-stage checklist, it shows up in the worst possible places: hard-coded credentials in staging databases, production logs that echo full patient records, background jobs that email PHI to third-party APIs with no Business Associate Agreement in place. Retrofitting those decisions is expensive, slow, and rarely complete.
The consequences of getting it wrong are measurable. OCR audits can be triggered by a single complaint or a reportable breach. HHS civil monetary penalties run from $100 to $50,000 per violation, with an annual cap of roughly $1.9 million per violation category. On top of that, HIPAA's Breach Notification Rule forces you to notify affected individuals, HHS, and sometimes the media — often within 60 days — along with the reputational cost that follows.
There is also a common trap worth naming. HIPAA-capable hosting providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) will sign a Business Associate Agreement and hand you HIPAA-eligible infrastructure, but the BAA only covers the services themselves. Everything above the infrastructure layer — your application code, your access controls, your logging, your key management, your developer workflows — is your responsibility. "Hosted on a HIPAA cloud" is not the same thing as "HIPAA compliant software." That gap is exactly where most healthcare apps fail.
Every engagement is purpose-built custom software designed around the specific PHI flows, clinical users, and integrations your organization needs.
Secure patient-facing portals, scheduling, video visits, and asynchronous messaging. Identity verification, consent capture, and encrypted communication baked in.
FHIR, HL7v2, and proprietary interfaces for Epic, Cerner, athena, and others. Bidirectional sync with the mappings, terminology services, and error handling real clinical data requires.
eCRF, ePRO, eConsent, and site-management platforms. 21 CFR Part 11 alignment alongside HIPAA where applicable, with full audit trails for every participant record.
Claim scrubbing, 837/835 EDI exchange, clearinghouse integrations, denial management, and patient responsibility estimators — all with PHI safely segmented.
Secure clinician-to-clinician and clinician-to-patient messaging with end-to-end encryption, retention policies, and audit trails that survive legal hold review.
Shared care plans, referral management, remote patient monitoring (RPM), and population health tools that keep PHI moving securely between providers and payers.
HIPAA has no official certification — anyone claiming to be "HIPAA-certified" is bending the truth. What we do is design to HIPAA requirements with a concrete, opinionated set of safeguards we apply to every engagement, layered with the cybersecurity practices that keep them enforceable.
A structured process that treats compliance as an engineering requirement, not paperwork. Every phase has concrete deliverables you and your auditors can reference.
We sign a BAA, then map every place PHI is created, received, stored, transmitted, or destroyed. Each element gets a classification and a control owner before code is written.
Encryption scheme, key hierarchy, role matrix, and explicit STRIDE-style threat model. Architecture is reviewed and signed off before build starts.
PHI handlers are isolated modules requiring dual code review. Audit logging is a first-class dependency, not a sidecar. Staging uses synthetic data only.
Third-party penetration test, vulnerability scan, and a compliance evidence package — policies, procedures, audit results — you can hand directly to an auditor.
We work with covered entities and business associates across the healthcare ecosystem — wherever custom software needs to touch protected health information safely.
Virtual visit platforms, async care, and direct-to-consumer digital health companies that need PHI-safe infrastructure from their first user.
Behavioral health, oncology, dermatology, fertility, and other specialties that outgrew off-the-shelf EHRs and need tailored workflows.
EHR/EMR vendors building add-on modules or FHIR-based integrations that must pass partner security reviews.
DTx, remote patient monitoring, and connected-device companies where clinical data flows from hardware to cloud to provider.
Payers and third-party administrators needing member portals, utilization management, and claims-adjacent platforms.
Sponsors, CROs, and pharma teams running studies where HIPAA overlaps with GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, and sponsor data agreements.
