Companies already paid €2,720,000,000 in GDPR fines. It takes minute to get a detailed GDPR report and prevent GDPR fines.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). Violations can result in penalties ranging from $100 to $50,000 per violation, up to $1.5 million per year for repeated violations of the same provision.
This document maps HIPAA’s technical requirements to the Databunker platform and shows how each one is addressed.

encryption key rotation to comply with strict security regulations.
§164.312(b) IT Security Developers
Audit Controls
Record and monitor access to ePHI.
Databunker Pro logs all access and modifications to sensitive data with detailed timestamps for compliance audits. View the

§164.312(c)(1) Developers IT Security
Data Integrity
Protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction.
Databunker Pro ensures data integrity with encryption, access controls, and strict
multi-tenancy, reducing the risk of tampering or unauthorized modifications.
§164.312(d) Security Developers
Person or Entity Authentication
Verify the identity of individuals accessing ePHI.
Databunker Pro integrates with authentication systems, providing secure user authentication to protect access to PHI.
§164.312(e)(1) IT Security Developers
Transmission Security

Databunker Pro encrypts PHI during transmission and supports
secure bulk retrieval, ensuring safe and efficient data transfers.
§164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) IT Security Compliance
Risk Analysis
Conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of risks to ePHI.
Databunker Radar scans your AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts against 1000+ security checks mapped to HIPAA, SOC 2, and other frameworks — identifying risks before auditors do. Databunker Pro secures PHI, reducing the attack surface identified during assessments.
§164.308(a)(1)(ii)(B) IT Security
Risk Management
Implement security measures to mitigate identified risks to ePHI.
Databunker Pro provides encryption, access control,
secure bulk retrieval, and auditing tools to mitigate risks effectively.
Databunker Radar provides actionable remediation guidance for every finding.
§164.308(a)(6) Security IT Compliance
Security Incident Procedures
Implement procedures to identify, respond to, and document security incidents.
Databunker Pro audit trails help organizations investigate and document security incidents effectively. Databunker Radar integrates with Slack, Jira, Linear, and email for real-time alerting on security issues.
§164.308(a)(7) IT Security
Contingency Plan
Establish policies and procedures for emergency operations to protect ePHI.
Databunker Pro supports encrypted automatic backups, helping ensure data availability and fast recovery during critical events.
§164.308(b)(1) Compliance
Business Associate Agreements
Ensure that all business associates comply with HIPAA regulations.
With Databunker Pro, customers retain full control over their ePHI storage and compliance, with support during initial configuration to align with HIPAA best practices.
§164.310(a)(1) IT Security
Facility Access Controls
Implement policies to limit physical access to systems containing ePHI.
Databunker Pro centralizes ePHI in a secure vault, reducing reliance on physical workstations or on-prem servers and limiting physical access risks.
§164.310(b) IT Security
Workstation Security
Implement physical safeguards to restrict access to workstations containing ePHI.
Databunker Pro stores health data centrally in an encrypted vault with strict access controls. This reduces the risk of sensitive data being stored locally on a workstation, which could be lost or stolen.
§164.310(d)(1) IT Security
Device and Media Controls
Implement policies for the disposal, reuse, and backup of devices containing ePHI.
By avoiding local storage, Databunker Pro minimizes risks tied to device loss, reuse, or improper disposal.
§164.404 Compliance Security
Breach Notification
Notify affected individuals and authorities of data breaches promptly.
Databunker Pro logs access and modifications, providing forensic data to identify the scope of a breach and support notifications. Databunker Radar continuously scans your cloud for misconfigurations that could lead to breaches — and alerts you before they happen.
§164.524 Compliance IT Developers
Individual Rights — Access and Amendment
Ensure individuals can access, request, and amend their PHI records.
Databunker Pro supports individual rights by enabling access, updates, and corrections to PHI records. Databunker DPO lets a DPO look up any data subject across all connected sources and generate a complete personal data report.
Security IT
Cloud Security Posture
Monitor cloud infrastructure for misconfigurations, open ports, and policy violations that could expose ePHI.
Databunker Radar scans your AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts against 1000+ security checks — mapped to HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI-DSS frameworks. Get a compliance score and actionable fixes.
Security IT
PHI Discovery
Identify where health data lives across your infrastructure — databases, cloud storage, and SaaS tools.
Databunker Radar detects PII, PHI, and PCI data across S3 buckets, DynamoDB tables, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server databases. Databunker DPO connects to SaaS vendors (HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp) to map personal data across your entire stack.
The following HIPAA requirements are organizational responsibilities that Databunker does not address directly:
§164.308(a)(5) Security Compliance
Training and Awareness
Provide security training to all workforce members handling ePHI. This is an organizational responsibility that requires training programs, documentation, and regular updates.
§164.404 Compliance Legal
Breach Notification Process
Notify affected individuals within 60 days of discovering a breach affecting 500+ individuals. Notify HHS and media for large breaches. Databunker provides the forensic data — but the notification process itself is an organizational and legal responsibility.
§164.310(a)(1) IT Security
Physical Facility Security
Physical access controls for buildings, server rooms, and facilities housing ePHI. Databunker secures the data layer — physical premises security requires separate controls (badges, locks, cameras, visitor logs).
Conclusion
By adopting the Databunker platform — Databunker Pro for encrypted PHI storage and access controls, Databunker Radar for cloud security scanning and compliance monitoring, and Databunker DPO for privacy operations and data subject requests — organizations can address the majority of HIPAA’s technical requirements. The remaining obligations (workforce training, breach notification process, and physical facility security) require organizational policies alongside the technical controls Databunker provides.
