HIPAA for AI/ML

Your customer, investor, or auditor just made HIPAA a requirement. Here is what it takes, what drives the timeline, and how a Toronto team gets you there.

AI/ML products that process health data inherit HIPAA obligations most AI teams are not set up for. We map PHI through your model pipeline and build the safeguards.

Why AI/ML companies need HIPAA

  • If your model ingests or outputs PHI, HIPAA applies to your training data, inference, and logs.
  • Third-party model providers that see PHI must be under a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).
  • PHI landing in prompts, embeddings, or logs is a common and overlooked HIPAA exposure in AI systems.
  • The Security Rule's access, audit, and encryption safeguards have to extend to your ML infrastructure.

More context on this sector on our AI/ML industry page, and on the framework itself on our HIPAA hub.

What our HIPAA engagement covers

Tailored to AI/ML, delivered by a Toronto security and compliance team led by a published security researcher, with our offensive-security partner where offensive testing is involved.

  • PHI-flow mapping through training, inference, and vector stores
  • BAA review for model and infrastructure providers
  • HIPAA Security Rule risk analysis across administrative, physical, and technical safeguards
  • Policies, workforce training, and access, audit-logging, and encryption controls for PHI
  • Breach-notification procedures and incident response runbooks
  • Documentation package you can show to customers and auditors

HIPAA for AI/ML: common questions

Can we send PHI to a third-party LLM provider?

Only under a signed BAA and with appropriate safeguards; not every provider will sign one. We help you determine which providers are usable and how to configure data handling.

Does PHI in prompts or logs count?

Yes, PHI is PHI wherever it lands, including prompts, embeddings, and logs. We map those flows and lock them down.

Do we need HIPAA and SOC 2?

If you handle PHI and sell to enterprises, usually both. They share many controls, so we run them together.

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.
