HIPAA compliance automation
Lumicost evaluates 11 controls of the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR §164.308 / §164.310 / §164.312) against your AWS, GCP and Azure infrastructure — and exports audit-ready evidence for your Covered Entity or Business Associate engagement.
HIPAA Security Rule audits are unforgiving. Lumicost continuously inspects your cloud configuration against the Administrative, Physical and Technical Safeguards of 45 CFR §164 — Information System Activity Review, Workforce Security, Information Access Management, Security Incident Procedures, Access Control, Audit Controls, Integrity, Person/Entity Authentication, Transmission Security — and emits cryptographically-signed evidence ready for your Covered Entity or Business Associate audit.
Administrative Safeguards (§164.308): Information System Activity Review, Workforce Security, Information Access Management, Security Incident Procedures, Evaluation. Physical Safeguards (§164.310). Technical Safeguards (§164.312): Access Control, Audit Controls, Integrity, Authentication, Transmission Security.
Daily snapshots of cloud configuration tied to ePHI: encryption-at-rest, TLS 1.2+ termination, MFA enforcement, audit log retention, access provisioning. Cryptographically timestamped with SHA-256 integrity hash.
One-click HIPAA evidence packages aligned to OCR Audit Protocol or Business Associate review requests. Append-only audit log satisfies §164.312(c)(1) Integrity requirement.
The moment a Technical Safeguard regresses (encryption disabled, audit log retention reduced, MFA bypassed), the control transitions PARTIAL → NON_COMPLIANT and an alert fires to your compliance channel.
Evidence is gathered through the same read-only credentials used for cost optimization (WIF on GCP, IAM Role on AWS, App Registration on Azure). Lumicost never accesses ePHI itself — only cloud configuration metadata.
It automates the cloud-controls evidence portion of the HIPAA Security Rule. You still need a HIPAA-qualified auditor (or internal Privacy Officer) and your own administrative policies, training, and a signed Business Associate Agreement with each subprocessor. The evidence Lumicost produces is mapped 1:1 to 45 CFR §164.308 / 310 / 312 controls.
No. Lumicost reads cloud configuration metadata only (encryption status, MFA enforcement, network exposure, audit log retention) — never patient data or PHI payloads. We sign a BAA with Enterprise Compliance customers if your legal team requires it.
Physical safeguards are delegated to the cloud provider's shared-responsibility model. Lumicost surfaces the provider's attested controls (AWS / GCP / Azure HIPAA-eligible services with signed BAAs) so your auditor can rely on them.
HIPAA framework evidence is part of the Enterprise Compliance plan. SOC 2 and ISO 27001 are available from Enterprise.
