Who Needs to be HIPAA Compliant?

- Healthcare providers
- Health plans and insurers
- Healthcare clearinghouses
Business Associates
Vendors and partners that handle PHI on behalf of a covered entity:
- HealthTech and Healthcare SaaS companies
- Cloud storage and hosting providers
- Billing and revenue cycle vendors
- EHR and practice management software providers

Your HIPAA Questions Answered
What is HIPAA?
Enacted in 1996, HIPAA — the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act — is a federal law that sets national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. It requires covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect PHI and notify affected individuals in the event of a breach.
What are the Benefits of HIPAA Attestation?
A strong HIPAA program does more than keep regulators happy. It protects your business, builds trust, and opens doors.
Helps Close Deals Faster Buyers require verified compliance before contracts are signed. HIPAA attestation gets you through procurement and onto the approved vendor list.
Stop Breaches Before They Start Identify and close security gaps before attackers find them. For organizations handling PHI, proactive risk management is not optional.
Give Patients and Partners a Reason to Trust You Independently verified compliance signals to every stakeholder that protecting their data is not an afterthought.
Stronger Controls Across Your Entire Organization Better documentation. Cleaner access controls. Stronger operational practices. HIPAA compliance makes your whole organization better.
Build a Foundation That Grows With You A HIPAA program built right supports your growth into HITRUST, SOC 2, and beyond.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
HIPAA penalties are tiered based on the level of culpability. When multiple violation categories exist simultaneously, penalties can add up to millions.
How is HIPAA different from SOC 2 and HITRUST?
HIPAA is a federal regulation that sets the legal baseline for protecting PHI. SOC 2 is a voluntary audit report that demonstrates security controls to technology buyers. HITRUST is a certifiable framework that maps to HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and 60+ other standards in a single program. If your enterprise customers are asking for all three, Sensiba can help you build an efficient path that covers them together.
