The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets the standard for how healthcare organizations safeguard Protected Health Information (PHI), but for technical teams, it often becomes the rulebook that defines day-to-day security architecture and operations. Whether you’re running an electronic health record (EHR) system, designing APIs for patient data exchange, or maintaining cloud infrastructure that stores PHI, the stakes are high. A single misstep can mean hefty fines, reputational damage, or worse, compromising patient trust.
That’s where a structured HIPAA compliance checklist comes in. Instead of scrambling to interpret the legal jargon, technical leaders can use a checklist to translate requirements into concrete, actionable steps: configure access controls, encrypt PHI at rest and in transit, monitor logs, and maintain clear audit trails.
In this blog, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of HIPAA requirements mapped into a practical checklist. We’ll also share a downloadable template you can adapt for your own environment, helping your teams stay audit-ready without drowning in documentation.
Key requirements under HIPAA
HIPAA is not a single law but a collection of interrelated rules that together define how healthcare organizations, their business associates, and their vendors must handle PHI. Each rule sets specific expectations: some high-level, others deeply technical.
