Make HIPAA Compliance Easier with OpenIAM
Protect patient data and meet HIPAA Compliance with smart identity and access tools built for healthcare organizations.
Access Control Is the Foundation of HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA sets rules to protect patient health data. To comply, healthcare providers must limit access to only those who need it and track every access event. This ensures patient privacy and prevents unauthorized access to sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI), which is critical for maintaining trust and avoiding costly compliance penalties. That's where identity and access management (IAM) comes in.
OpenIAM helps you meet these rules by giving you full control over who can access patient data—and when.
Did you know?
In 2023, L.A. Care Health Plan was fined $1.3 million for failing to manage access to patient records—a direct violation of HIPAA’s Security Rule.
When Identity Fails, HIPAA Compliance Falls Apart
Many healthcare organizations struggle with outdated or manual identity processes. These common issues can lead to costly fines and data breaches.
Key Challenges:
- Shared or generic logins make it impossible to track access.
- Staff who leave still have access to PHI.
- Too much access is given to the wrong roles.
- Manual access reviews are slow and error-prone.
- Collecting proof for audits takes time and resources.
