HIPAA-compliant data handling, PHI encryption at rest and in transit, medical device support (Windows Embedded, IoT), integration with EHR/EMR platforms, and audit logging that meets regulatory review requirements.
There is no official "HIPAA certification" for software. What matters is whether the vendor signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), encrypts PHI, provides audit logging, and supports access controls that satisfy HIPAA's Security Rule requirements.
Start with BAA availability, then evaluate medical device OS support, network segmentation capabilities, compliance reporting depth, and whether the tool can operate in air-gapped or restricted clinical network segments.
