Meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act requirements with complete audit trails for electronic health records, long-term retention, and independent verification.
The HIPAA Security Rule requires audit controls (45 CFR § 164.312(b)) that record and examine access to electronic protected health information (ePHI). Covered entities must maintain related documentation and audit logs for a minimum of 6 years (45 CFR § 164.316(b)(2)(i)) and implement mechanisms to detect unauthorized access or modification.
Every database query touching electronic health records is captured with full user identity, statement text, timestamp, and source context, satisfying HIPAA audit control requirements.
Compressed Parquet archives efficiently store audit data for the full HIPAA retention period, with automated lifecycle policies ensuring records are maintained and available for review.
Real-time alerts on access policy violations, unauthorized ePHI queries, and behavioral anomalies ensure potential breaches are detected immediately, supporting HIPAA breach notification requirements.
Parquet files are readable by any analytics tool without vendor software. When regulators or auditors need to verify compliance, they can do so independently with their own tools.
