There's no HIPAA certification, just an ongoing duty to protect ePHI — and the Security Rule risk analysis is the single thing OCR cites most. Compyl runs your program continuously: live safeguard evidence, an automated risk analysis, BAA tracking, and breach-ready documentation.

Continuous risk analysis

What is HIPAA — and how does Compyl help?

HIPAA is the US federal law that protects health information through three rules — Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification. The Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI, plus a mandatory risk analysis. There is no certification: you must demonstrate ongoing compliance and be ready for an OCR investigation or audit at any time.

Compyl turns HIPAA from a binder into a live program. It connects to your systems, runs the risk analysis continuously, collects evidence for every safeguard, tracks business associate agreements, scores evidence health, and flags drift — so you're OCR-ready and breach-ready instead of hoping nothing happens.

The problem

Compliance you can’t see is the kind OCR finds first

HIPAA has no auditor scheduling your year — the test arrives as a breach or an OCR investigation, and the gap you didn't know about becomes the finding.

The risk analysis goes stale

OCR's most-cited failure is an incomplete or outdated risk analysis. A once-a-year spreadsheet doesn't survive contact with a real investigation.

BAAs slip through the cracks

Every vendor that touches ePHI needs a signed business associate agreement. Miss one or let one lapse, and a vendor breach becomes your liability.

ePHI sprawls faster than you track it

New apps, integrations, and data flows appear constantly. Safeguards that were complete last quarter quietly stop covering where ePHI actually lives.

How it works

One continuous loop — from connected systems to audit-ready

Compyl runs your HIPAA Security Rule program as an always-on cycle — risk analysis, safeguards, and evidence stay in sync automatically.

Connect

Integrate cloud, identity, code, endpoint, and HR systems.

Collect evidence

Pull audit evidence automatically, in real time.

Map to safeguards

Link every artifact to its Security Rule safeguard.

Monitor

Watch controls continuously and flag drift early.

Stay audit-ready

Hand auditors a current evidence pack on demand.

Automated evidence

Stop assembling HIPAA evidence by hand

The hard part of HIPAA isn't the policy — it's proving every safeguard works, every day, across every system that touches ePHI. Compyl collects that evidence continuously and maps it to the Security Rule.

Evidence Health · New in 26.2

Know your evidence is audit-ready — automatically

Collecting evidence is only half the battle; stale or incomplete proof is where audits go sideways. New in Compyl 26.2, Evidence Health continuously scores every artifact the moment it changes, so weak evidence surfaces weeks before an audit — not during it.

Every artifact scored on relevance, freshness, and completeness
An AI summary spells out exactly what's missing and why
Re-scores automatically whenever the underlying evidence changes
Continuous control monitoring done right — gaps surface with time to fix

Continuous monitoring

Catch control drift before the auditor does

HIPAA never schedules your audit — a breach or OCR can arrive any day. Compyl monitors every safeguard continuously and turns the moment one slips into a tracked task, not a future finding.

Live posture across every administrative, physical, and technical safeguard
Automatic alerts the moment a control drifts out of compliance
Remediation tasks auto-assigned with owners and deadlines
A defensible, time-stamped trail ready for an OCR investigation

Collect once, reuse everywhere

Your HIPAA work becomes a head start on every other framework

HIPAA shares the majority of its safeguards with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and NIST. Compyl cross-maps each control so one piece of evidence satisfies every framework it touches — which is why the second framework costs a fraction of the first.

The Security Rule

Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards

The HIPAA Security Rule is built on three safeguard categories plus a mandatory risk analysis. Compyl maps evidence to every standard and implementation specification.

Mandatory

Risk Analysis

§164.308(a)(1) — the foundation OCR cites most. Identify risks to ePHI and act on them, continuously.

9 standards

Administrative

Security management, workforce training, access management, contingency planning, and BAAs.

4 standards

Physical

Facility access, workstation use, and device & media controls for systems that handle ePHI.

5 standards

Technical

Access control, audit controls, integrity, authentication, and transmission security.

60 days

Breach Notification

When ePHI is exposed, notify affected individuals, HHS, and (sometimes) the media within strict deadlines.

No certificate — three rules

HIPAA is a regulation, not a certification

There is no HIPAA certificate. You are continuously accountable under three rules, and you must be able to prove it the day OCR asks.

THE PROGRAM

Demonstrate it continuously

Privacy, Security, and Breach rules apply every day — proof is the risk analysis, safeguards, BAAs, and policies you can produce on demand.

Privacy Rule: how PHI may be used and disclosed

Security Rule: safeguards for electronic PHI

Where Compyl helps: live evidence for every safeguard, on demand

WHEN IT BREAKS

The breach & OCR clock

A breach or complaint triggers OCR — and a 60-day notification clock. Scattered evidence makes both far harder than they need to be.

Breach Rule: notify within 60 days of discovery

Enforcement: OCR investigations and civil penalties

Where Compyl shines: a breach-ready, time-stamped evidence trail

FAQ

HIPAA questions, answered

HIPAA is the US federal law that protects health information through three rules — Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification. The Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI, plus a mandatory risk analysis. There is no HIPAA certification — covered entities and business associates must demonstrate ongoing compliance and be ready for an OCR investigation.

A risk analysis (§164.308(a)(1)) identifies risks and vulnerabilities to ePHI across your environment and drives a remediation plan. It is the Security Rule's foundation and the failure OCR cites most often, so it must be thorough, current, and continuous — not a one-time document.

Yes. Any vendor that creates, receives, maintains, or transmits ePHI on your behalf needs a signed BAA. Compyl helps you track which vendors handle ePHI and whether each has a current agreement, so a vendor breach doesn't become an unmanaged liability.

Compyl connects to your stack, runs the risk analysis continuously, collects evidence for every administrative, physical, and technical safeguard, tracks BAAs, scores evidence health, and flags drift — a live, OCR-ready posture instead of a once-a-year scramble.

Compyl 26.2 introduced Evidence Health, which continuously scores every piece of evidence on relevance, freshness, and completeness. Scoring runs automatically whenever evidence changes and summarizes what is missing, so safeguard gaps surface before an investigation, not during one.

Yes. Compyl cross-maps each control so a single control and its evidence can satisfy HIPAA alongside SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and 20+ other frameworks. Collect the evidence once and reuse it everywhere it applies.
