SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the tedious and error-prone process of checking for HIPAA compliance violations in your codebase, ensuring Protected Health Information (PHI) is always secured and reducing the risk of costly breaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PHI Logging Detection: Scans for accidental logging of PHI in console statements within sensitive code areas.
  • Security Policy Validation: Verifies Row-Level Security (RLS) policies on database tables, checks for encrypted PHI fields, and confirms audit logging coverage.
  • Secret Scanning: Identifies hardcoded credentials or exposed API keys that could compromise security.
  • Use Case: Integrate this skill into your pre-commit hooks, run it as part of weekly security reviews, or use it to validate readiness before critical demos or SOC2 audits.

Quick Start

Perform a full HIPAA compliance scan on the codebase and provide a detailed report of any violations or warnings.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scan my codebase for HIPAA compliance violations?

HIPAA compliance scanning automates detection of violations across your codebase and databases by checking for PHI logging in console statements, missing Row-Level Security policies, unencrypted PHI fields, incomplete audit logging, and exposed secrets. Run the full scan to generate a detailed report of all violations and warnings suitable for SOC2 and HIPAA audits.

What HIPAA security checks does this Skill perform?

This Skill validates PHI logging prevention, Row-Level Security enablement on database tables, encryption of PHI fields, audit logging coverage, and secret scanning for hardcoded credentials. It covers codebases and databases handling Protected Health Information with standardized output for compliance audits.

Can I integrate HIPAA compliance checking into my development workflow?

Yes. Integrate the compliance checker into pre-commit hooks for automated enforcement, run it weekly as part of security reviews, or execute it before critical demos and SOC2 audits to validate readiness and identify violations before they reach production.

What's the difference between HIPAA compliance checking and secret scanning?

HIPAA compliance checking covers the full scope: PHI logging detection, RLS policies, encryption validation, and audit logging. Secret scanning is one component that identifies hardcoded credentials and exposed API keys; this Skill combines all checks into a unified compliance assessment.

Do I need database access to run HIPAA compliance checks?

The Skill scans both code and databases for violations. It performs repository searches for PHI logging patterns, reviews migrations, validates RLS policies on database tables, and checks encryption—requiring access to the codebase and database schema to complete all checks.
