FAQ
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires covered entities and their business associates to protect the privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI). The Security Rule establishes administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that organizations handling PHI must implement and maintain.
HIPAA technical safeguards (§164.312) are the technology controls required to protect electronic PHI (ePHI). They include access controls (§164.312(a)), audit controls (§164.312(b)), integrity controls (§164.312(c)), authentication (§164.312(d)), and transmission security (§164.312(e)). AuditFlo collects evidence for the access control and audit control requirements specifically.
HIPAA compliance is demonstrated through documentation: policies and procedures, risk assessments, workforce training records, and evidence that technical safeguards are operating effectively. AuditFlo automates the collection of engineering evidence for technical safeguards and tracks policy acknowledgment for workforce training requirements.
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) requests risk assessment documentation, security policies, workforce training records, access control logs, audit logs showing who accessed ePHI and when, and incident response records. AuditFlo helps you maintain continuous evidence of access control and audit logging activities.
HIPAA requires documentation to be retained for a minimum of 6 years from the date of creation or when it was last in effect. AuditFlo retains all collected evidence for the lifetime of your subscription, ensuring you have records available for OCR investigations or breach response.
AuditFlo is a compliance evidence management platform, not a system that stores PHI. If you are a covered entity or business associate, you should review our security documentation at auditflo.co/security to evaluate whether our data handling meets your requirements. We are happy to execute a Business Associate Agreement if needed.
