Healthcare Security

HIPAA-ready authentication for healthcare applications

Passwordless login with audit logging, session management, a BAA on Enterprise plans, and zero-store architecture - HIPAA-ready (BAA on Enterprise).

What HIPAA requires for authentication

HIPAA's Technical Safeguards (§164.312) define five requirements that every authentication system must meet.

Access Control

-164.312(a)(1)

Implement technical policies and procedures for systems that maintain ePHI to allow access only to authorized persons or software.

Audit Controls

-164.312(b)

Implement hardware, software, and procedural mechanisms to record and examine activity in information systems that contain or use ePHI.

Integrity Controls

-164.312(c)(1)

Implement policies and procedures to protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction.

Transmission Security

-164.312(e)(1)

Implement technical security measures to guard against unauthorized access to ePHI being transmitted over electronic communications networks.

Person Authentication

-164.312(d)

Implement procedures to verify that a person or entity seeking access to ePHI is the one claimed.

Business Associate Agreement (BAA)

HIPAA requires a BAA between covered entities and any third-party service that may access protected health information. MojoAuth provides a BAA for enterprise customers that covers all authentication services.

Our BAA outlines responsibilities for safeguarding PHI, breach notification procedures, permitted uses and disclosures, and termination provisions - ensuring your organization meets HIPAA requirements when using MojoAuth for authentication.
