Overview

This skill assists security teams with HIPAA audit preparation, automated checks, and remediation guidance. It provides step-by-step workflows, generates configuration snippets, and surfaces compliance gaps relevant to HIPAA requirements. Use it to speed audits, validate controls, and produce actionable remediation plans.

How this skill works

The skill inspects configuration, logs, and policy artifacts to identify HIPAA-relevant gaps and risks. It runs rule-based checks against common HIPAA controls, suggests configuration or process changes, and can generate example code or configuration templates. Outputs include prioritized findings, remediation steps, and validation checks you can run in your environment.

When to use it

  • Preparing for a HIPAA readiness assessment or audit
  • Validating technical controls (encryption, access controls, logging)
  • Reviewing environment configurations for PHI exposure risks
  • Generating remediation playbooks and configuration templates
  • Verifying compliance after changes or deployments

Best practices

  • Start with a scoping exercise to identify PHI locations and system boundaries
  • Run automated checks regularly, not just before audits, to catch regressions
  • Prioritize findings by risk to PHI and ease of remediation
  • Use generated templates as starting points; adapt them to your environment and policies
  • Maintain evidence artifacts (logs, change tickets) for each remediation

Example use cases

  • Scan cloud storage and compute configs for misconfigurations that could expose PHI and receive remediation steps
  • Generate an access-control configuration snippet for role-based access to systems handling PHI
  • Produce a verification checklist and commands to validate encryption-at-rest and in-transit settings
  • Create a prioritized remediation plan after a compliance scan, including suggested code/config changes
  • Validate logging and retention settings and produce sample queries to demonstrate auditability

FAQ

Can this skill replace a formal HIPAA audit?

No. Use this skill to automate checks, prepare evidence, and reduce manual work. A formal audit by qualified assessors is still required for certification or legal assurance.

What inputs does the skill need to run useful checks?

Provide scope details (systems handling PHI), configuration files or access to configuration snapshots, and relevant logs. The more complete the inputs, the more accurate the findings.

Is the output production-ready code?

Outputs include production-ready examples and templates, but you should review and adapt them to your environment, policies, and change-management processes.
