HIPAA-Compliant Development

HIPAA compliance
designed in.
Not bolted on.

We've shipped 4+ HIPAA-compliant platforms that passed real audits. Encryption, audit trails, RBAC, and BAAs from sprint one. Not compliance theater — actual compliance you can defend in an inspection.

Your previous developer said "we'll add HIPAA later." Now you're staring at a $30K retrofit, an audit deadline, and a codebase that stores PHI in plaintext. Sound familiar?

What We Build

HIPAA compliance infrastructure
from day one

Every platform we build includes these five compliance layers. Not optional. Not add-ons. Standard.

Encryption Everywhere

AES-256 encryption at rest. TLS 1.3 in transit. S3 server-side encryption for documents. RDS encryption for databases. No PHI in email bodies. No exceptions.

Immutable Audit Trails

Every PHI access logged with user identity, timestamp, action, and metadata. Append-only. Can't be tampered with. The kind inspectors actually want to see.

Role-Based Access Control

Strict RBAC with least-privilege defaults. Admins see admin things. Patients see patient things. Nobody sees what they shouldn't. Enforced at the middleware level, not the UI.

BAA Chain

Business Associate Agreements with every vendor that touches PHI. AWS, database hosting, email services, file storage. We ensure the entire chain is covered before deployment.

Backup & Recovery

Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery. Documented disaster recovery procedures. Tested, not theoretical. HIPAA requires it — we deliver it.

Track Record

More HIPAA platforms
in production

Different industries. Same compliance rigor.

Legal/Healthcare Case Management

  • HIPAA-compliant from day one
  • 3-role RBAC (Admin, Broker, Client)
  • Encrypted document storage (50MB+ files)
  • Immutable audit trails
  • 8 weeks, 290 hours

Healthcare AI Learning Platform

  • HIPAA-compliant AI platform
  • OpenAI integration with PHI guardrails
  • CME credentialing system
  • Gamification (streaks, leaderboards)
  • 12 weeks, $20K

Healthcare Case Management MVP

  • HIPAA-compliant case platform

Real Numbers

HIPAA development costs
without the markup

Most agencies quote $100K-$400K for HIPAA builds. Here's what we've actually delivered.

Project Timeline Investment Complexity
Healthcare Case Management 5 weeks $15,000 3-role RBAC, document management, messaging
Healthcare AI Learning Platform 12 weeks $20,000 AI integration, CME credentialing, gamification
Legal/Healthcare Case Platform 8 weeks $15K-$30K RBAC, encrypted docs, audit trails, messaging
DEA Compliance Platform 8 weeks $30K-$50K WebRTC video, biometric auth, codebase rescue

Why are we 3-5x cheaper than market rates? We're not learning HIPAA on your project. We've built this exact infrastructure 4+ times. Pattern recognition means we spend engineering hours on your product — not on figuring out compliance architecture for the first time.

Tech Stack

Two proven stacks
for HIPAA builds

We pick based on your requirements. Both are production-tested across multiple healthcare platforms.

Laravel + Vue.js

  • Used for: case management, healthcare AI
  • PostgreSQL + Inertia.js
  • AWS (S3, EC2, SES, RDS)
  • Best for: CRUD-heavy platforms, case management, admin dashboards

React + Node.js

  • Used for: DEA compliance platform
  • PostgreSQL + Prisma ORM
  • AWS (S3, EB, SES, RDS)
  • Best for: Real-time features, video, WebSockets, complex auth

AWS Infrastructure

  • HIPAA-eligible services only
  • BAA signed with AWS
  • Encrypted RDS + S3
  • CloudWatch monitoring + Sentry error tracking

FAQ

HIPAA Development Questions

How much does HIPAA-compliant software development cost?

Most agencies quote $100K-$400K. We deliver HIPAA-compliant MVPs for $15K-$50K in 8-12 weeks. One healthcare platform shipped in 5 weeks for $15K. A DEA compliance platform delivered in 8 weeks. We're faster and cheaper because we've built this before — we're not learning HIPAA on your project.

How long does it take to build a HIPAA-compliant app?

8-12 weeks for a production-ready MVP. We've delivered 4+ HIPAA platforms in this timeframe. The key is compliance designed in from day one — not bolted on at the end. Retrofitting HIPAA compliance costs 10x more than building it right the first time.

What makes software HIPAA-compliant?

Five core requirements: Encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). Immutable audit trails logging every PHI access. Role-based access control (RBAC). Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with all vendors. Documented backup and recovery procedures. We implement all five from sprint one.

Can you add HIPAA compliance to existing software?

Yes. We've rescued broken healthcare platforms before — one client came to us with a failed MVP that had zero compliance infrastructure. We rebuilt it to full DEA and HIPAA compliance in 8 weeks. Compliance retrofit typically costs $10K-$25K depending on current architecture.

Do you sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

Yes. We sign BAAs with every healthcare client. We also ensure all infrastructure providers (AWS, database hosting, email services) have signed BAAs in place before any PHI touches the system.

What tech stack do you use for HIPAA-compliant apps?

Two proven stacks: Laravel + Vue.js + PostgreSQL on AWS (used for case management and healthcare AI platforms) or React + Node.js + PostgreSQL on AWS (used for real-time compliance platforms). Both include encrypted S3 storage, SES email with no PHI in message bodies, and RDS with encryption at rest.
