HIPAA - CI/CD Glossary Definition
HIPAA is US law requiring safeguards for electronic protected health information.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is a US law whose Security Rule sets standards for protecting electronic protected health information (ePHI) through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
For software handling health data, HIPAA's technical safeguards (access control, audit, encryption) shape pipeline and platform requirements.
In CI/CD
HIPAA safeguards map onto encryption, access control, and audit logging that pipelines help enforce and evidence for systems touching ePHI.
