HIPAA
HIPAA is the U.S. law governing how protected health information is safeguarded. A HIPAA-ready posture requires documented administrative, physical and technical safeguards, and a Business Associate Agreement. Sledge offers neither today.
HIPAA is on the Sledge roadmap. There is no report or assessment to share yet, and this page will say so until there is.
Why HIPAA is on the roadmap
If your work touches healthcare data, HIPAA readiness is what would let you use Sledge for it without breaking federal health-privacy rules.
A BAA to sign
A Business Associate Agreement is required before health data can go into a vendor’s system.
Health data encrypted
Encryption in transit and at rest, with access that is restricted and logged.
Documented safeguards
Administrative, physical and technical safeguards written down and enforced.
Breach procedures
Defined notification steps if health data is ever affected.
