FAQ

What makes software HIPAA compliant?

HIPAA-compliant software meets the technical safeguards defined in the HIPAA Security Rule: encryption of PHI at rest and in transit, access controls with unique user identification, audit logging of all data access events, automatic session termination, and integrity controls. Beyond technical requirements, you need administrative safeguards (policies, training, risk assessments) and a Business Associate Agreement with any third party that handles PHI.

What HIPAA-compliant software requirements do you follow?

We implement the full set of HIPAA technical safeguards: AES-256 encryption, TLS 1.2+ for data in transit, role-based access controls with MFA, comprehensive audit logging, automatic session management, and backup procedures. On the infrastructure side: VPC network segmentation, KMS key management, WAF configuration, and BAA-covered cloud services on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.

How do you handle PHI (Protected Health Information)?

PHI is encrypted at rest and in transit, accessed only through role-based permissions with audit trails on every operation. We implement data minimization (only collect and store the PHI your application needs), purpose limitation, and secure deletion procedures. Infrastructure is designed so PHI never leaves HIPAA-compliant environments.

Do you sign BAAs (Business Associate Agreements)?

Yes. When Momentum handles PHI on behalf of a client, we sign a Business Associate Agreement. We also ensure BAAs are in place with all infrastructure providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) and any third-party services that process PHI in your application stack.

What cloud providers do you support for HIPAA-compliant hosting?

We build HIPAA-compliant applications on AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Most healthcare clients run on AWS, where we use our HealthStack Terraform modules to deploy compliant infrastructure with pre-configured encryption, networking, logging, and access controls. We help you choose the right provider based on your requirements, existing infrastructure, and budget.

What is HealthStack and how does it accelerate HIPAA compliance?

HealthStack is our open source set of Terraform modules that deploy HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure. It includes pre-configured VPC networking, KMS encryption, CloudWatch logging, IAM access controls, and backup procedures. MIT-licensed and used in production across our healthcare deployments. It reduces HIPAA-compliant infrastructure setup from weeks to days. Explore HealthStack on GitHub

Can you make an existing application HIPAA compliant?

Yes. We run compliance gap analysis on existing applications to identify what needs to change: infrastructure, application code, access controls, logging, encryption, and documentation. Then we build a remediation plan and execute it incrementally with zero downtime. Whether you need a full HIPAA-compliant app development overhaul or targeted fixes, we scope the work to your current state.

What is Vanta and how does Momentum use it for HIPAA compliance?

Vanta is a compliance automation platform that integrates with your cloud provider, identity systems, and development tools to monitor HIPAA controls continuously. As a Vanta Partner, Momentum manages HIPAA compliance automation for our clients: automated checks on encryption, access controls, logging, and infrastructure configuration run in real time instead of waiting for periodic manual reviews. Evidence is collected automatically and stored for audit readiness. Vanta powers the automation; Momentum builds the compliant infrastructure and manages the relationship.
