Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act

 

What is HIPAA Compliance?

HIPAA, or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is a federal regulation designed to safeguard the privacy, security, and integrity of protected health information (PHI). HIPAA compliance is mandatory for any organization that collects, stores, processes, or transmits patient health data — not just healthcare providers, but also insurers, vendors, and technology partners.

Why HIPAA Compliance Matters:

Maintaining HIPAA compliance is critical to protecting patients’ confidential information from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and data breaches. Beyond legal responsibility, compliance demonstrates your organization's commitment to privacy, security, and ethical data handling — building trust with patients, clients, and partners.

Non-compliance can lead to substantial penalties, reputational damage, and even criminal charges.
