Healthcare Industry Compliance
Compliance requirements for healthcare and health-tech companies. Navigate HIPAA, SOC 2, and healthcare-specific regulations.
Key Compliance Requirements
HIPAA Compliance
Any company that handles Protected Health Information (PHI) must be HIPAA compliant. This includes covered entities (providers, payers) and business associates (vendors).
Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
You need signed BAAs with all vendors that handle PHI. This includes cloud providers, analytics tools, and any third-party services.
SOC 2 Type II
Healthcare organizations increasingly require SOC 2 certification in addition to HIPAA compliance. It demonstrates a higher level of security maturity.
HITRUST CSF
HITRUST is a comprehensive security framework specifically for healthcare. It's more rigorous than HIPAA and often required by large healthcare organizations.
