Security and compliance for healthcare and healthtech

Patient data is the most regulated data you can hold. traztech runs HIPAA in the US and PHIPA in Ontario, plus the SOC 2 your hospital and payer customers demand.

What you are up against

Health data carries statutory penalties and the longest procurement cycles in software. The bar is set by law, not by your buyer.

HIPAA in the United States

The Security Rule and Privacy Rule govern protected health information. Business associate agreements push obligations down to every vendor.

PHIPA in Ontario

Ontario personal health information is governed by PHIPA, with its own consent, breach-notification, and custodian rules.

SOC 2 for hospital and payer buyers

Enterprise health buyers layer a SOC 2 Type II requirement on top of the statutory frameworks.

PHI handling and breach exposure

Encryption, access logging, minimum necessary access, and a documented breach process are non-negotiable.

How traztech helps

We translate statutory requirements into implemented controls, then prove them to your buyers.

HIPAA and PHIPA readiness

Safeguards, policies, BAAs, and breach procedures mapped to the rules that apply to you.

Why traztech is poised for Healthcare & Healthtech

traztech is run by a published security researcher with five published CVEs, including CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1), the kill-switch for the Mirai botnet. Our principal has built and run a SOC 2 Type II programme in house, and we translate HIPAA and PHIPA into implemented controls rather than documents. Health procurement teams get a real PHI program, not a policy template.

See the full research and CVE record, or read how we work with our partners. Once you are engaged, our auditor management & advocacy and vulnerability management services keep the program moving, tracked through your existing traztech Workspace.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HIPAA and PHIPA?

HIPAA is the US federal framework for protected health information. PHIPA is the Ontario statute for personal health information. If you operate across the border, you may need to satisfy both.

Do we need SOC 2 if we already comply with HIPAA?

Often yes. HIPAA is the legal baseline, but hospital and payer buyers frequently require a SOC 2 Type II report as independent assurance. The two share most underlying controls.

How do you handle PHI in our architecture?

Encryption at rest and in transit, minimum-necessary access, full access logging, and documented breach procedures. We design these in rather than bolting them on later.

Can you sign a business associate agreement?

BAAs flow between covered entities and their vendors. We help you build the safeguards and processes a BAA commits you to, and structure your subprocessor agreements accordingly.

What happens if we have a PHI breach?

An incident response retainer gives you named responders, defined timelines, and the regulator and patient-notification handling that both HIPAA and PHIPA require.

The same work, without the line item

Every readiness programme needs a control library, an evidence register, policies and a score for the board. Being quoted five figures a year for that is normal. Paying it is not.

Exceptions on a SOC 2 Type II built from nothing in-house

Published vulnerability research

Five published CVEs. CVE-2024-45163 (CVSS 9.1) is a flaw in the Mirai botnet itself, which gave defenders a way to shut down attacker infrastructure. CVE-2026-42626 takes HP ENVY 5000 printers offline from any unauthenticated device on the same network.

The printer is the one that matters on a compliance page: an asset nobody counts as a computer, on a flat network, downed by a device that never had to log in. Auditors ask how controls fail. We have found out first-hand.

A SOC 2 Type II built from nothing

At Humera, a venture-backed US security company, Jacob built the compliance programme in-house from nothing: no report, no policies, no documented controls. It ended in a Type II attestation with zero exceptions.

The platform stayed in production throughout, which is the part most readiness projects get wrong: controls are easy to design and hard to retrofit onto a system people already depend on.

Recent engagements

For a Waterloo data centre operator we ran SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001:2022 together rather than one after the other, across a production campus, an AI compute platform and a self-hosted collaboration stack. Scoped so further Ontario and Quebec sites enter as they reach production. Findings delivered and remediated.

For an Ontario medtech company putting an AI clinical assistant in front of practitioners, we ran the gap analysis and built the evidence programme behind their SOC 2.
