Can this skill fix HIPAA violations automatically?

While the skill identifies violations and provides remediation suggestions via its reporting, developers should manually review and apply changes to ensure all clinical and technical requirements are met.

Does this skill require access to actual patient data?

No. The skill analyzes the code and infrastructure structure for compliance patterns; it does not require or process actual Protected Health Information (PHI) to perform its scans.

Is this skill a substitute for a legal HIPAA audit?

No, this is a technical tool designed to assist developers in identifying common risks and best practices. A formal legal and security audit by certified professionals is still recommended for full certification.

What types of files can the HIPAA checker scan?

It can scan source code across various languages, infrastructure configurations like AWS CloudFormation or Terraform, and technical project documentation.

Security & Testing

Scans codebases and infrastructure configurations to identify potential HIPAA compliance violations and security risks.

About

This skill empowers Claude to perform automated audits of software projects to ensure they meet the rigorous standards of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). By analyzing code, configuration files, and documentation, it detects vulnerabilities related to data privacy, encryption, and access controls for Protected Health Information (PHI). It is an essential tool for healthcare developers and security teams looking to automate compliance checks, generate detailed audit reports, and proactively secure their infrastructure before deployment.

Key Features

Automated HIPAA violation detection in source code
Detection of insecure data storage and encryption gaps
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) configuration scanning
Validation of access control policies and documentation
3 GitHub stars
Detailed compliance reporting with remediation guidance

Use Cases

Auditing a patient data API for secure PHI handling before a production launch
Verifying that technical documentation aligns with mandatory HIPAA privacy guidelines
Scanning cloud infrastructure files for HIPAA-compliant security group settings
