HIPAA Security Rule

Feature row 36 — Sprint COMP-1

The Healthcare / HIPAA vertical is included on the Enterprise plan.

Scope

Behavry's Healthcare compliance module maps 7 HIPAA Security Rule requirements to Behavry capabilities. The goal is continuous evidence that AI agents interacting with PHI — clinical summarization agents, coding assistants in payer back-offices, copilots in EHR workflows — are operating under appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.

PHI-specific DLP patterns

The HIPAA module activates a PHI pattern set in the DLP scanner:

  • ICD-10 and CPT codes near patient identifiers
  • Medical record numbers (format-heuristic; tenant-tunable)
  • SSN near clinical context (patient name, DOB proximity)
  • Prescription patterns (drug names, dosage, refill counts)
  • Provider NPI (National Provider Identifier)

Tagged hipaa:phi in the DLP taxonomy. Inbound rules and policies can target this tag directly:

deny[reason] {
input.content.dlp_findings[_].category == "hipaa:phi"
not input.agent.is_covered_entity_approved
reason := "PHI cannot leave approved workflows"
}

BAA considerations

Behavry's SaaS offering is available under a Business Associate Agreement. BYOC and self-hosted deployments keep all PHI inside the customer's environment; no BAA is needed with Behavry beyond whatever covers the container images and support relationship.
