HIPAA-compliant healthcare software

Healthcare software, built to HIPAA from day one.

We design, build, and secure healthcare software the way regulated care demands: protected health information locked down, the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules engineered in, and a system that stands up to a customer security review. For healthcare providers, payers, digital-health companies, and government health agencies.

Where it goes wrong

Most healthcare software fails review for predictable reasons.

HIPAA is not a feature you add at the end. When protected health information (PHI) is involved, the gaps that stall a launch, or trigger a breach, are almost always the same:

🔐

PHI left exposed

Health data unencrypted at rest or in transit, sitting in logs, or readable in the front end. HIPAA expects encryption and safeguards by design.

🤝

Access controls that leak

No role-based access, no "minimum necessary," shared logins. PHI ends up visible to people who should never see it.

📝

No audit trail

The Security Rule requires audit controls. Many systems cannot answer the basic question: who accessed which record, and when?

Infrastructure with no BAA

PHI running on services with no Business Associate Agreement in place, an immediate compliance failure regardless of how good the code is.

🛡

No breach readiness

No risk analysis, no incident response, no backups or integrity checks. One mistake becomes a reportable breach with real penalties.

📋

Fails the security review

A hospital, payer, or partner's security team asks for HIPAA evidence and the project stalls for months.

Questions

HIPAA software questions

What is Sthenos Technologies?

Sthenos Technologies is an EDWOSB/WOSB-certified custom software development firm headquartered in Tysons, VA, with an office in Bethesda, MD (NAICS 541511). We build HIPAA-compliant healthcare software, including EHR/EMR integrations, telehealth, patient portals, and claims systems, for healthcare providers, payers, digital-health companies, and government health agencies, with security and compliance designed in.

Does Sthenos sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?

Yes. Where we handle protected health information as a business associate, we sign a BAA, and we build on infrastructure that can be covered by one. A BAA in place is a baseline requirement, not an afterthought.

Can you make our existing healthcare app HIPAA-compliant?

Usually, yes. We start with the readiness assessment, then remediate: encryption, role-based access, audit logging, and BAA-backed hosting. The assessment tells you honestly what is solid and what must be rebuilt.

Is HIPAA a certification?

No. HIPAA compliance is an ongoing program, not a one-time certificate. We build software to the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules and document it so you can pass a partner or payer security review with confidence.

What kinds of healthcare software do you build?

EHR/EMR integrations (including HL7 and FHIR), telehealth platforms, patient portals, claims and billing systems, care-management tools, and custom applications for providers, payers, and government health programs.

Build healthcare software you can defend in a review.
