Build a HIPAA-aligned security and privacy programme for Indian healthcare, health-tech and Business Associates handling US patient health information (PHI). Codesecure runs gap analysis, Security Rule and Privacy Rule implementation, Business Associate Agreement readiness and ongoing surveillance.
HIPAA is the United States federal regulation that protects the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Protected Health Information (PHI). It applies to Covered Entities (health plans, providers, clearinghouses) and Business Associates that create, receive, maintain or transmit PHI on their behalf. Indian health-tech firms, BPOs, RCM providers and telehealth platforms serving US clients are squarely in scope as Business Associates.
Codesecure delivers HIPAA as a managed compliance programme: full gap analysis against the Security Rule (administrative, physical and technical safeguards), Privacy Rule alignment, Business Associate Agreement (BAA) review and template authoring, breach notification playbook, evidence collection, and ongoing annual risk analysis. Our consultants are HIPAA Privacy and Security certified.
For Indian Business Associates, HIPAA is a contractual gate. US Covered Entities cannot share PHI without an executed BAA, and they audit their vendors. Without demonstrable HIPAA controls, you lose US healthcare deals to competitors who have done the work. With them, you become an obvious choice.
HIPAA also has serious teeth. Civil penalties range up to USD 2 million per violation category per year, and HITECH added mandatory breach notification with state-AG involvement. Indian press has reported multi-million-dollar settlements involving Indian BPOs after PHI exposure incidents. HIPAA controls reduce that risk and demonstrate good faith if something does happen.
Codesecure's HIPAA programme covers Security Rule, Privacy Rule and supporting controls:
HIPAA consulting fees vary by PHI volume, system count and whether you are a Covered Entity, Business Associate or sub-BA. Pricing covers Codesecure consulting only; certification is not part of HIPAA, compliance is demonstrated through documented controls.

// Frameworks & Standards We Cover
30-minute call with our HIPAA lead. Discuss your role (CE / BA / sub-BA), PHI scope and upstream contractual obligations with no sales pressure.
Schedule Free CallYes, if you handle PHI for US-based Covered Entities or Business Associates. You are a Business Associate (or sub-BA) under HIPAA, and your US clients are required to have a BAA with you. Without HIPAA-aligned controls and a BAA, your US clients legally cannot share PHI with you, which means you cannot serve them.
Codesecure consulting fees are typically INR 1.5L-2L for early-stage Business Associates, INR 2L-3L for SMBs with established PHI workflows, and INR 3L-4L+ for mid-market or multi-product Indian health-tech firms. HIPAA does not have certification, so there is no certification body fee. Annual risk analysis support is quoted separately.
HIPAA is a US regulation specific to healthcare data with mandatory provisions; ISO 27001 is a global voluntary security standard; SOC 2 is a US attestation framework. They overlap significantly on security controls but differ in scope: HIPAA is narrow (PHI only) and prescriptive; ISO 27001 is broad and risk-based; SOC 2 is service-organisation focused. Many health-tech firms run combined HIPAA + SOC 2 programmes to satisfy both clinical and SaaS buyer requirements.
Instant response, no delay. We respond within an hour during business hours, send a fixed-fee scoped proposal in 24-48 hours under NDA, and start gap analysis the same day or next business day after sign-off.
Yes. The breach notification playbook covers the 60-day clock, documented investigation, risk-of-compromise analysis, notification to HHS OCR, notification to affected individuals, and state-AG notifications if required. We can also act as breach-response advisor on retainer.
Largely yes. Most HIPAA technical safeguards map directly to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria CC6 (logical access), CC7 (system monitoring) and CC8 (change management), and to ISO 27001 Annex A controls in technological and people themes. Running these together is faster and cheaper than running them serially.
Yes, they are not substitutes. DPDP Act 2023 governs personal data of Indian data principals; HIPAA governs PHI of US individuals. If your health-tech firm serves both Indian and US patients, you need both. The controls overlap on encryption, access management and incident response, so combined programmes are common.
