HIPAAWhat is HIPAA?
US federal law requiring safeguards for protected health information (PHI). Covers privacy, security, breach notification, and enforcement rules for covered entities and business associates.
Who it applies to
Covered entities - health plans, providers and clearinghouses - and the business associates that handle protected health information for them. A software vendor touching PHI is a business associate and is directly liable.
How the standard is organised
Separate rules rather than one control set: the Security Rule for electronic PHI, organised into administrative, physical and technical safeguards, alongside the Privacy Rule and the Breach Notification Rule.

Bitkosh Technologies is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by ISO, AICPA, the PCI Security Standards Council, ENX/VDA, or any other framework owner, and using this platform does not by itself confer or guarantee certification — certification/attestation is granted only by the relevant accredited third-party body.
HIPAA on the Bitkosh platform
The 54 HIPAA controls sit in one workspace, evidence is collected from the systems you already run, and shared controls satisfy the equivalent requirement in the other 34 frameworks at the same time — so a second framework costs a fraction of the first.
