HIPAA
Governance posture for US health data privacy and security (educational; commercial packs contain deeper regulated mappings and workflows)
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 mappings, controls, or workflow packs. Those are available separately in commercial programs. See Seven System Laws.
Runtime Validation
Check PHI handling rules in-loop before requests reach providers; block unsafe operations automatically.
Evidence & Audit
Generate audit bundles with integrity metadata 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 commercial packs.
Disclaimer: Governance posture pages are not legal certifications. Approvals remain with authorities and auditors.
