HIPAA
Governance posture for US health data privacy and security (educational; Restricted Edition contains regulated cartridges)
Overview
IOA Core helps teams implement HIPAA-aligned patterns by enforcing governance at runtime, generating immutable audit evidence, and supporting field-level redaction. OSS Core does not include full HIPAA cartridges. those are available under Restricted Edition to approved participants. Supports regulatory sandbox pilots with signed evidence bundles. See Seven System Laws.
Runtime Validation
Check PHI handling rules in-loop before requests reach providers; block unsafe operations automatically.
Evidence & Audit
Cryptographically sign audit bundles covering access, policy results, and downstream propagation.
Data Minimization
Apply redaction/masking at ingress and egress to reduce PHI exposure across the toolchain.
How IOA Core Assists
- Hooks for PHI detection/redaction in governed pipelines.
- Policy gates for access control, least privilege, and traceability.
- Evidence fields aligned to operational risk and incident review.
OSS Boundary: IOA Core ships educational primitives. Full HIPAA cartridges (mappings, controls, tests) are provided separately under Restricted Edition.
Disclaimer: Governance posture pages are not legal certifications. Approvals remain with authorities and auditors.
