How BalkanID addresses HIPAA
Every identity and access
control the Security Rule requires.
Each capability maps directly to a named HIPAA Security Rule safeguard, producing continuous, audit-ready evidence, not a point-in-time snapshot assembled under pressure.
Unique user identification, every ePHI system, no exceptions
BalkanID detects shared accounts and service accounts with interactive login across every connected system, flagging any identity that cannot be traced back to a single named individual. No shared credential passes through an access review without surfacing as a finding.
Workforce security, clearance at hire, deprovisioning at exit
New hires receive role-aligned access automatically, nothing broader than their job requires. When employment ends, BalkanID triggers deprovisioning across every connected system, EHR, PACS, clinical databases, verified and logged. Orphan identities surface continuously, not during audits.
Information access management, minimum necessary, at every stage
BalkanID enforces minimum necessary access at provisioning, role-based, HRIS-aligned, no catch-all groups. Every grant and modification follows a ticketed, approver-recorded workflow. Role changes trigger automatic recertification so modifications are as controlled as initial access.
Emergency access, governed, time-limited, fully logged
Break-glass access is requested with a declared clinical justification, approved, time-limited, and auto-revoked when the session closes. Every emergency session produces a complete log, requester, approver, scope, duration, without relying on manual documentation after the fact.
Audit controls, immutable log, always ready
Every access grant, review decision, provisioning event, and privileged session is captured in a tamper-evident, continuously collected log. Exportable on demand, no pre-audit assembly sprint, no gaps from systems that were missed.
Authentication, MFA gaps found before the OCR inquiry does
BalkanID continuously monitors authentication posture across all connected systems, surfacing identities with no MFA and those relying on weak factors like SMS or voice. Privileged clinical users without phishing-resistant authentication are flagged with severity so remediation happens before an incident forces it.
Business associate access, governed like employees, not trusted by default
Contractor and vendor identities sit in the same governance plane as employees, same access reviews, same deprovisioning when the engagement ends. When a BAA terminates, access revocation is automatic and verified, closing the gap OCR investigations routinely expose.
