You’re building in healthcare and you need a hipaa program that builds trust
Most HIPAA consulting is built for organizations with dedicated compliance teams. We built ours for founders who don't have one.
WHAT IS HIPAA AND DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED IT?
HIPAA is a federal law that sets the rules for how protected health information, known as PHI, must be handled. If your product stores, processes, or transmits patient data in any form, HIPAA applies to you. This includes most digital health apps, telehealth platforms, and any SaaS product that touches data from healthcare providers or insurers.
Unlike SOC 2 or ISO 27001, HIPAA is not a certification you earn from a third party. It is a legal requirement. The question is not whether you need to comply. It is whether your program is strong enough to demonstrate compliance when a customer, partner, or regulator asks.
For most healthtech founders, that question comes up earlier than expected.
WHAT DOES HIPAA COMPLIANCE INVOLVE?
HIPAA has three core components your program needs to address:
Privacy Rule. Governs how PHI can be used and disclosed, and what rights patients have over their information.
Security Rule. Sets the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required to protect electronic PHI.
Breach Notification Rule. Defines what you are required to do if a breach occurs, including when and how to notify affected individuals and regulators.
Building a compliant program means having the right policies, controls, and documentation in place across all three areas, tailored to how your product actually works.
WHAT WORKING WITH ANCHORPOINT LOOKS LIKE
Every HIPAA engagement starts with understanding your product, your data flows, and where you are in the process. From there we identify which requirements apply to your specific situation, where your gaps are, and what it will take to close them.
We build a program that fits how your business actually operates, not a generic policy library dropped in your lap. You will understand what you have, why it matters, and how to maintain it as your product evolves.
You may already have a compliance platform in place or be wondering whether you need one. We help you work through that decision and can support you either way, with or without a platform.
THE ANCHORPOINT DIFFERENCE
Per-project pricing.
Former auditors, not generalist consultants.
You work with the founders.
We know what a defensible HIPAA program looks like from the inside. We know where companies cut corners, what actually holds up under scrutiny, and how to build something that works for a lean team without over-engineering it. That’s what you’re hiring when you work with Anchorpoint.
