Protected health information demands the highest standard of care. HANDD helps you secure ePHI in transit and at rest, control who can access it, and produce the audit trail your Security Rule risk analysis depends on.
HIPAA governs how healthcare providers, payers, and their business associates handle protected health information. The Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for ePHI, while the Breach Notification Rule requires notifying affected individuals within 60 days of discovering a breach.
Most healthcare organisations don’t fail HIPAA because of one dramatic incident — they fail because PHI ends up on an unencrypted device, moves through an unmonitored file share, or sits with a vendor whose BAA never got updated. HANDD helps close those gaps.
HIPAA isn’t a one-time policy sign-off. It demands ongoing discipline across:
An accurate, current picture of where ePHI lives and what threatens it.
Making sure only the right people can reach ePHI, and proving it.
Protecting ePHI in transit and at rest, wherever it moves.
Logging who accessed ePHI, when, and why.
Spotting incidents fast enough to meet the 60-day notification duty.
Making sure every vendor with ePHI access has a current BAA.
For many healthcare organisations, this becomes a heavy operational burden spread across IT, compliance, and clinical teams. HANDD removes the technical weight of this by managing it for you.
GDPR works best when security, monitoring, and evidence are treated as an always-on operating model — not a once-a-year policy review.
Encryption in transit and at rest, access control, and managed transfer for ePHI — supporting Security Rule technical safeguards §164.312(a) and (e).
Detects and blocks ePHI leaving approved channels, reducing exposure and helping meet the 60-day breach notification duty.
Access logs and audit trails that feed your Security Rule risk analysis and audit controls documentation (§164.312(b)).
Note: these tools support the technical safeguards the Security Rule requires, and produce evidence for your risk analysis — they don’t replace a full HIPAA compliance programme. A formal risk analysis, administrative and physical safeguards, signed BAAs, and Privacy Rule processes for patient rights remain organisational responsibilities outside any single tool’s scope.
Encrypts ePHI in transit and at rest, restricts where it can be sent, and logs every transfer — supporting transmission security and access control under §164.312(a) and (e).
Detects and blocks ePHI leaving approved channels — reducing exposure and helping you spot incidents fast enough to meet the 60-day breach notification duty.
Centralises and maps how ePHI moves between EHR, billing, and lab systems — supporting audit controls and your risk analysis documentation.
Automated monitoring and anomaly detection support the audit controls and ongoing risk analysis the Security Rule expects.
Note: an AI tool that processes ePHI on your behalf is a business associate in its own right — it needs a signed BAA and must meet the same Security Rule safeguards.
