HIPAA-compliant audit logging for healthcare SaaS platforms. Track access to electronic protected health information (ePHI) with cryptographic integrity verification.
Healthcare SaaS platforms must comply with HIPAA, which mandates audit controls for all systems containing electronic protected health information (ePHI). The HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR 164.312(b)) requires audit controls that record and examine activity in information systems. Beyond HIPAA, healthcare organizations increasingly require SOC 2 compliance from their vendors and may need to comply with state-level health privacy laws. AuditKit provides the immutable audit trail infrastructure that healthcare SaaS companies need to protect patient data, satisfy HIPAA requirements, and sign Business Associate Agreements with confidence.

Every access to electronic protected health information must be logged with who accessed it, when, what was accessed, and the purpose. This is fundamental to HIPAA compliance.
HIPAA requires tracking of all PHI disclosures to third parties. Patients have the right to request an accounting of disclosures for the past 6 years.
HIPAA requires retention of security-related documentation for 6 years from creation or last effective date (45 CFR 164.530(j)).
HIPAA 164.312(c)(1) requires integrity controls for ePHI. Audit logs documenting access and changes to ePHI must themselves be protected from tampering.
SHA-256 hash chains and Merkle tree proofs provide mathematical proof that your healthcare saas audit records have not been altered. This level of integrity assurance is increasingly expected by regulators and auditors.
AuditKit enforces strict tenant isolation at the infrastructure level. Your customers' audit data is logically separated, satisfying data segregation requirements common in healthcare saas compliance frameworks.
Stream audit events to your existing SIEM for real-time monitoring and alerting. AuditKit integrates with Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, and other platforms commonly used in healthcare saas security operations.
AuditKit is open source, so your security team and auditors can inspect the code. This transparency is particularly valued in healthcare saas where trust and verifiability are paramount.
HIPAA Security Rule 164.312(b) requires audit controls that record and examine activity in systems containing ePHI. This includes logging all access to patient records, authentication events, data modifications, and administrative actions. Logs must be retained for 6 years and protected from tampering. AuditKit satisfies these requirements with SHA-256 hash chains and configurable retention policies.
