Dual compliance realization path for healthcare data
Processing of PHI (Protected Health Information) is subject to both the HIPAA Security Rule and the Special Data Provisions of Article 9 of the GDPR.Comp AI's cross-compliance features include:
- Controls mapping:Checking the "HIPAA+GDPR" mode when selecting the framework, the system automatically establishes 156 control correspondences (e.g., encryption requirements that satisfy both HIPAA § 164.312 and GDPR Article 32).
- Special data handling:BAA management specific to healthcare data:
- Uploading vendor BAAs in the Policies module
- System automatically tracks expiration dates and reminds for renewal
- Generate third-party audit trail reports on the Evidence page - Privacy Impact Assessment:The built-in DPIA template identifies processing activities involving genetic data (Article 35 of the GDPR), guides the completion of the risk assessment questionnaire and generates mitigation plan
Best practice recommendation: run a gap analysis scan first, prioritizing high-risk items that violate both major frameworks (e.g., unencrypted medical image storage) before progressively addressing single-framework requirements.
