Healthcare Security Benefits
Beyond compliance checkboxes - improve your security posture and reduce risk of PHI breaches.
Faster HIPAA Audits
Pre-built reports and searchable audit logs reduce audit preparation time from weeks to hours.
Breach Detection
Anomaly detection alerts you to potential PHI breaches before they escalate into reportable incidents.
Database Security
Protocol-aware proxies for healthcare databases ensure all SQL queries are logged and can be reviewed.
Third-Party Access
Securely grant temporary access to vendors and consultants without sharing credentials to PHI systems.
Continuous Compliance
Real-time monitoring ensures ongoing compliance rather than point-in-time certification.
Secrets Management
Centralized credential vault eliminates static passwords and shared accounts for PHI access.
HIPAA Compliance Questions
Common questions about HIPAA requirements and how TigerAccess helps healthcare organizations maintain compliance.
What is HIPAA and who needs to comply?
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a US federal law that sets national standards for protecting sensitive patient health information called Protected Health Information (PHI). HIPAA compliance is required for "covered entities" including healthcare providers, health plans, and healthcare clearinghouses, as well as their "business associates" - any third-party service providers who have access to PHI. This includes IT vendors, cloud providers, billing services, and any organization that handles, processes, or stores PHI on behalf of a covered entity.
How does TigerAccess help with HIPAA compliance?
TigerAccess helps healthcare organizations meet HIPAA's Security Rule requirements by providing the technical safeguards mandated by the regulation. Our platform enforces unique user identification, encrypts all PHI transmissions, maintains comprehensive audit logs, implements automatic session timeouts, and provides emergency access procedures. We simplify compliance by consolidating multiple security controls into a single platform, reducing the complexity of demonstrating compliance during audits and making it easier to maintain ongoing adherence to HIPAA requirements.
What HIPAA safeguards does TigerAccess address?
TigerAccess directly addresses all required and addressable specifications in HIPAA's Technical Safeguards section: (1) Access Control - unique user IDs, emergency access procedures, automatic logoff, and encryption/decryption; (2) Audit Controls - comprehensive logging of all access to systems containing PHI; (3) Integrity Controls - protection against improper PHI alteration with tamper-evident audit trails; (4) Person or Entity Authentication - multi-factor authentication and certificate-based identity verification; (5) Transmission Security - end-to-end encryption of PHI during transmission using TLS 1.3 and mutual TLS.
Can TigerAccess sign a BAA (Business Associate Agreement)?
Yes, TigerAccess can sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with healthcare organizations. As a service that may access, process, or store PHI in the course of providing infrastructure access management, we understand our obligations as a HIPAA business associate. Our BAA outlines our commitments to safeguard PHI, report security incidents, and comply with all applicable HIPAA requirements. We maintain our own compliance program and undergo regular security assessments to ensure we can fulfill our obligations under the BAA.
How does TigerAccess protect PHI (Protected Health Information)?
TigerAccess protects PHI through multiple layers of defense: All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3 with certificate-based authentication. Access to systems containing PHI requires multi-factor authentication and is granted based on least-privilege principles through role-based access control. Session recordings and audit logs are encrypted at rest and stored in immutable storage. We implement automatic session timeouts to prevent unauthorized access. Our platform uses short-lived certificates instead of static credentials, reducing the risk of credential theft. All access attempts are logged with complete context including who, what, when, where, and why.
What audit logs does TigerAccess provide for HIPAA?
TigerAccess maintains comprehensive, immutable audit logs that meet HIPAA's audit control requirements. Every log entry includes: user identity (with MFA verification status), timestamp (with microsecond precision), resource accessed (server, database, application), action performed (login, query, file access), source IP address and geolocation, session duration, and outcome (success/failure). For database access, we log all SQL queries. For SSH sessions, we record full session video. Logs are retained for 7 years by default and can be searched, filtered, and exported for compliance reporting. We provide pre-built HIPAA audit reports that map directly to Security Rule requirements, making audit preparation significantly faster.
