The framework

What HIPAA asks of you.

What it is

HIPAA is a U.S. federal law, and its Security Rule sets standards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI). The rule groups its standards into administrative, physical and technical safeguards, and some implementation specifications are required while others are addressable. The HHS Office for Civil Rights enforces it.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996

Who needs it

  • Hospitals, clinics and health systems
  • Health plans and healthcare clearinghouses
  • Business associates that handle ePHI for covered entities

1Safeguards

Administrative, physical and technical safeguards in one view

Venevor's HIPAA pack covers key Security Rule standards across all three safeguard groups. Each standard shows its readiness, the controls mapped to it, and the evidence behind them.

Readiness screen: requirements shown as verified, asserted, gap or unknown, with the evidence behind each.

2Technical safeguards

Access and audit controls checked against real systems

Connectors to identity, endpoint and cloud systems read the settings behind your technical safeguards. An automated control's status comes only from its latest check.

What it does

Shows when each piece of evidence was collected and whether it is still fresh.

What it never does

Let anyone mark an automated control as compliant by hand.

3Administrative safeguards

Policies your people have approved and read

Security policies go through e-signature approval, and staff acknowledge them. Exceptions carry an owner and an expiry date, so accepted risk stays visible and time-bound.

Capabilities

Built for HIPAA.

  • Security Rule pack

    Administrative, physical and technical safeguard standards, mapped to your controls.

  • Verified kept separate

    Readiness keeps verified and asserted apart and never adds them together.

  • Evidence freshness

    Each piece of evidence is marked fresh, stale or cannot verify.

  • Incident tracking

    Incidents record their breach-notification status alongside the investigation.

  • Exceptions with expiry

    Every exception has an owner and an expiry date, and it never overrides an automated status.

  • Auditor workspace

    Assessors and auditors get access to the evidence, with export.

FAQ

HIPAA questions.

Does Venevor make us HIPAA compliant?

No software can do that. Compliance depends on how your organization protects ePHI. Venevor helps you track key Security Rule standards, collect evidence and see where gaps remain.

Does the HIPAA pack cover the Privacy Rule and Breach Notification Rule?

The pack covers key Security Rule standards. Privacy Rule and Breach Notification Rule obligations are outside it, though incidents in Venevor do record a breach-notification status for your own tracking.

Can Venevor help with our security risk analysis?

The Security Rule requires a risk analysis. Venevor's risk register records risks, owners and treatment, and links them to related controls, so the analysis and the evidence sit together.

Can an outside assessor review our evidence?

Yes. Give them a dedicated workspace with the controls, evidence and history in scope. They can export what they need and cannot change anything.
