Simplify HIPAA compliance with one unified framework for Privacy, Security & Breach Notification
Sigmify GRC discovers protected health information (PHI) across your systems, automates controls and evidence collection, and keeps covered entities and business associates audit-ready — continuously, not just at audit time.
Key Takeaways
- One framework, three rules. Sigmify GRC’s Unified Compliance Framework centralizes Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rule management instead of tracking each separately.
- PHI is discovered automatically. Sigmify’s PHI discovery and classification software finds and classifies PHI across systems and maintains data inventories and flow maps.
- Every vendor is covered by a BAA. A Business Associate Agreement governs how any vendor handling PHI must comply with HIPAA, managed through dedicated BAA software.
- Compliance status updates in real time. A live dashboard shows compliance posture, control effectiveness, audit logs, and incident status — continuously, not just at audit time.
- Breach response follows the Breach Notification Rule. Incidents are detected, investigated, and managed with a built-in breach risk assessment tool and notification workflows.

At a Glance
The Three HIPAA Rules, At a Glance
Sigmify GRC aligns with all three HIPAA rules — Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification — covering Privacy Rule compliance, Security Rule safeguards, and breach notification.
Why It Matters Now
Three Rules, Run as One Program

Each capability below is self-contained — built to answer the underlying question fully, not just gesture at it.

Safeguards Built From Your Own Risk Assessment
The Security Rule requires administrative, physical, and technical safeguards, identified through a HIPAA risk assessment.

Access, Amendments, Accounting — Answered on Time
HIPAA guarantees patients the right of access, the right to request amendments, and the right to an accounting of disclosures.

Compliance Status, As It Happens
A real-time HIPAA compliance monitoring dashboard shows compliance posture, control effectiveness, audit logs, and incident status across healthcare systems.
