HIPAA compliance, without a healthcare-only consultant
HIPAA has no certificate. What customers want is evidence that you meet the Security Rule: risk analysis, policies, access controls and business associate agreements. Certifyi builds that evidence and pairs it with SOC 2 so you have a report to share.
There's no certificate to point to, just proof
Unlike SOC 2 or ISO 27001, HIPAA compliance is entirely about documented evidence, which makes it easy to under-invest in until a customer asks.
You're a Business Associate the moment you sign
Handling PHI for even one healthcare customer makes HIPAA a legal requirement, not an optional nice-to-have for later.
No certificate means no shortcut
There's nothing to buy your way into, compliance has to be built and documented: risk assessment, policies, and safeguards.
Consultants that only know healthcare miss modern stacks
Legacy healthcare compliance consultants often don't understand cloud-native or AI-driven architectures, slowing everything down.
BAAs pile up unmanaged
Every vendor touching PHI needs a signed Business Associate Agreement, without tracking, gaps go unnoticed until an audit.

Pre-built Security Rule and Privacy Rule controls that understand cloud infrastructure and AI-assisted products.

HIPAA, answered
Any company that creates, receives, stores, or transmits Protected Health Information (PHI) on behalf of a covered entity, hospitals, health plans, providers, is a Business Associate and needs HIPAA compliance, even if healthcare isn't their only vertical.
No, unlike SOC 2 or ISO 27001, there's no official third-party certificate. Compliance is demonstrated through documented policies, a completed risk assessment, signed BAAs, and evidence of implemented safeguards, which Certifyi helps you build and maintain.
8-12 weeks to a fully documented, audit-ready HIPAA compliance program, including your risk assessment, policies, and technical safeguards.
Yes. HIPAA's Security Rule overlaps significantly with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 technical safeguards, so Certifyi maps controls once across whichever frameworks apply to you.

Questions about this
Is HIPAA a certification?
No. It is a US regulation. Compliance is evidenced through risk analysis, policies, safeguards and business associate agreements, not a certificate.
Do health-tech startups need a BAA?
If you create, receive, maintain or transmit protected health information for a covered entity, yes, a Business Associate Agreement is required.
Should we pair HIPAA with SOC 2?
Most health-tech companies do, so they have an independent report to share with hospital and payer customers.
What does a HIPAA risk analysis include?
An inventory of where PHI lives, threats and vulnerabilities to it, likelihood and impact, and the safeguards you apply. Auditors and OCR ask for it first.
