    HIPAA-Compliant Software Development

    BAA-Signed, PHI-Encrypted & Audit-Ready — Not Retrofitted Compliance

    Healthcare software built to HIPAA standards from the ground up. We sign BAAs, architect for encrypted PHI storage, implement FHIR integrations, and deliver audit-ready systems — not retrofitted compliance.

    Built-In HIPAA Safeguards

    PHI Encryption

    AES-256 encryption at rest for all Protected Health Information. TLS 1.2+ in transit. Encrypted database fields for sensitive patient data.

    BAA Signing

    We execute a Business Associate Agreement before any PHI access. Our BAA covers all HIPAA Technical, Administrative, and Physical Safeguard requirements.

    Audit Logging

    Immutable, timestamped logs of every PHI access, modification, and deletion. Required for HIPAA compliance audits and breach investigations.

    Role-Based Access Control

    Minimum necessary access principle: users see only the PHI their role requires. Automatic session timeouts and multi-factor authentication.

    EHR / FHIR Integration

    HL7 FHIR R4 integrations with Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth, and other major EHR platforms. Structured clinical data exchange that meets interoperability mandates.

    Security Architecture Review

    Threat modelling, penetration testing, OWASP Top 10 review, and a documented risk assessment delivered as part of every healthcare engagement.

    HIPAA Development FAQs

    Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

    Yes. We sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every healthcare client before accessing or handling any PHI (Protected Health Information). Our BAA is reviewed by our legal counsel and covers all the required HIPAA provisions including breach notification, data use limitations, and safeguard requirements.

    What makes software HIPAA compliant?

    HIPAA compliance for software requires: encryption of PHI at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+), role-based access control, comprehensive audit logging of all PHI access, automatic session timeouts, a documented incident response plan, BAA agreements with all sub-processors, and regular risk assessments. The software itself must be secure by design — compliance is not a feature you add later.

    Can you integrate with Epic, Cerner, or other EHR systems?

    Yes. We integrate with major EHR platforms using HL7 FHIR R4 APIs. Epic, Cerner, and Athenahealth all offer certified FHIR R4 endpoints. We also support legacy HL7 v2 integrations via Mirth Connect or Azure FHIR Service for older systems.

    How long does HIPAA-compliant app development take?

    A HIPAA-compliant MVP (e.g., a telehealth platform with video, scheduling, and encrypted messaging) typically takes 3–5 months. A full patient portal with EHR integration, billing, and custom clinical workflows takes 5–9 months. We include a compliance architecture review and security audit as part of every healthcare engagement.
