HIPAA for AI agents.
For Healthcare and healthtech handling PHI with AI agents.
If an agent can reach systems that hold PHI, HIPAA's Security Rule applies. HiveKey gives you the access control, audit controls, and minimum-necessary enforcement the Rule expects.
Note: HiveKey is in private beta and is not itself HIPAA-certified yet. This page describes how the control plane helps you enforce controls and produce evidence for your own HIPAA audit. It isn't legal or compliance advice.
How agent governance maps to HIPAA.
Scope, Guard, and Log line up with controls you already report against — applied to the agent layer.
Access control §164.312(a)
Scope agents to the minimum-necessary actions; PHI-bearing tools are invisible unless granted.
Audit controls §164.312(b)
Immutable record of every action an agent took against PHI systems, attributable to an owner.
Integrity §164.312(c)
Guard blocks unauthorized writes and deletes; destructive actions denied or gated.
Person/entity authentication
Every agent has a verifiable identity tied to an accountable human.
Walk into the audit with the records, not a story.
Because enforcement happens in the path, the evidence is produced as agents act — not reconstructed later from scattered logs.
- Minimum-necessary role definitions
- PHI-access audit trail
- Denied-action records (egress, deletes)
- Agent-to-human attribution
Make your agents HIPAA-ready.
