Definition
HIPAA readiness means the platform and operating model can support required safeguards when configured: access controls, audit logs, transmission security, and incident response playbooks.
Workflow
Operational workflows should enforce least privilege, separation of duties for sensitive actions, and documented break-glass procedures.
Implementation
Implementation includes executing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), defining data retention, and aligning backup/restore tests with continuity plans.
Interoperability
Interfaces must not leak PHI to unauthorized endpoints; certificate management and logging are part of the security posture.
Frequently asked questions
Is Medrara HIPAA certified?
