Where we deliver

Use cases we have shipped in healthcare.

  • Use case · 01

    EHR access governance — Epic, Cerner, Meditech

    Role-based access reviews aligned to clinical context. Break-glass workflows engineered with named approvers and audit-grade evidence captured per access. The same artifact serves OCR and your internal compliance team.

  • Use case · 02

    Privileged access for clinical infrastructure

    Privileged session governance for EHR backbone, imaging, and laboratory systems. FDA-validated environments treated with extra care — change control and recording wired in without disrupting clinical operations.

  • Use case · 03

    Patient identity for portals + telehealth

    Customer identity for patient portals, scheduling, and telehealth — designed to support proxy access, parent-of-minor scenarios, and consent flows without abandoning the auth surface to a vendor.

  • Use case · 04

    Clinical trial + research data access

    Access governance for IRB-approved clinical research environments. 42 CFR Part 2 substance-use record protections honored in policy, evidence, and audit trail.

  • Use case · 05

    Provider lifecycle + privileging

    Joiner-mover-leaver flows that account for credentialing, privileging, and locum-tenens cadence. The HRIS-driven pattern most other industries use breaks here — we engineer for the actual provider lifecycle.

  • Use case · 06

    Third-party + business-associate access

    Consultant, vendor, and BA access lifecycled with the same rigor as employees. BAA terms and contractual access scopes wired into the access policy directly.

  • Use case · 07

    M&A integration for hospital systems

    Acquisition-cadence identity merging across hospital systems with disparate EHRs and directories. Right-sized access by close-date; deferred merger of identity stores planned over the first audit cycle.

FAQ

Common questions.

  • Do you have direct experience with HIPAA Security Rule and HITRUST CSF?+

    Yes — every IAM program we deliver in healthcare is mapped to the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR §164.312 access control + audit controls), the HITRUST CSF, and where applicable 42 CFR Part 2 substance-use record protections. Our deliverables include the control mapping artifacts your auditors and OCR investigators will request directly.

  • Can you align IAM evidence across HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 simultaneously?+

    Yes. We engineer evidence-as-code so a single control test produces artifacts mapped to HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, and SOC 2 CC-series controls. Auditors receive reusable evidence; your team does the work once per cycle, not three times.

  • How do you handle break-glass access in clinical settings?+

    Break-glass is engineered with named approvers, post-event review, and a written justification policy that holds up in OCR review. The pattern preserves clinical urgency while ensuring every break-glass event becomes an audit artifact — automatically captured rather than reconstructed.

  • Do you work with Epic, Cerner / Oracle Health, and Meditech directly?+

    Yes. We have shipped access governance and lifecycle integrations for all three. Each EHR has its own role model and integration surface; we engineer the IGA layer to fit the EHR rather than forcing the EHR into a generic IGA pattern.

  • What is a typical engagement timeline for a regional health system?+

    8-week diagnostic + reference architecture, then 12-to-16-week build for the first audit-scope workflow (typically EHR access reviews + privileged session governance). Audit-ready evidence by month 6 for the in-scope program; broader rollout follows on a quarterly cadence.
