AWS Environments Built for Protected Health Data

Providers, payers, and health IT vendors. Environments where PHI boundaries are enforced by configuration, and the audit trail is complete before anyone asks for it.

Why Healthcare Is Different

PHI spreads further than the diagram shows

Protected health information ends up in logs, backups, analytics pipelines, and lower environments. Scoping the boundary is most of the work, and it has to hold as the system changes.

A BAA is a starting point

Your Business Associate Addendum with AWS covers the services you use correctly. Configuring them correctly, and proving you did, stays with you.

Security review gates the contract

Health systems and payers run vendor assessments before signing. The questions land on encryption, access control, logging, and continuity, which are all infrastructure answers.

What We Deliver

We build the environment so the PHI boundary is enforced by policy, not maintained by attention.

PHI-Scoped Environments

Account and network boundaries drawn around protected data, with HIPAA-eligible services selected deliberately and non-eligible services blocked by policy. Lower environments kept clear of production data.

Encryption & Access Control

Encryption in transit and at rest with managed keys, least-privilege IAM reviewed against real access patterns, and break-glass paths that are logged, not shared.

Audit Trail & Retention

Complete access logging with retention matched to your obligations, stored where the accounts being recorded cannot modify it.

Vendor Assessment Support

We answer the infrastructure sections of the security questionnaires your customers send, with evidence drawn from the live environment.

What We Build Against

We design and evidence the environment. Certification and attestation stay with you and your assessor.
