HIPAA Security & Privacy Rules

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

The baseline for Protected Health Information (PHI) privacy and security in healthcare organizations.

"PHI Protection That Never Sleeps"

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for HIPAA?

Healthcare organizations are the #1 target for ransomware, and HIPAA penalties can reach $2.1M per violation category per year. The gap between “having policies” and “enforcing controls” is where breaches—and OCR enforcement actions—happen.

1. Technical Safeguards, Operationalized

We don’t just document HIPAA technical safeguards—we operate them. Encryption at rest and in transit, access controls with audit logging, automatic session timeouts, and emergency access procedures are built into the infrastructure we manage daily.

2. Business Associate Agreement (BAA) Backed by Action

As your managed service provider, we sign a BAA and back it with actual security controls—24/7 SOC monitoring, encrypted communications, workforce training, and incident response capabilities. Our BAA isn’t a formality; it reflects our operational reality.

3. Breach Notification Readiness

HIPAA’s 60-day breach notification requirement demands rapid detection and assessment. Our incident response team can determine breach scope within hours, provide the documentation HHS requires, and support individual notification processes.

4. PHI Access Monitoring

We implement and monitor role-based access to every system containing PHI—EHRs, billing platforms, communication tools, and file shares. Anomalous access patterns trigger immediate investigation by our SOC analysts.

5. Risk Analysis as a Living Process

HIPAA requires regular risk analysis, not a one-time report. We conduct continuous risk assessments, maintain a live risk register, and prioritize remediation by impact to PHI—keeping you ahead of both threats and auditors.
