Originally launched as an open-source project, Databunker has grown into a powerful, HIPAA-compliant database solution designed to empower startups tackling the challenges of healthcare data security.

For healthcare startups, protecting sensitive patient data is a heroic feat. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets rigorous standards for securing Protected Health Information (PHI), and non-compliance can spell disaster. Enter Databunker, a secure, developer-friendly database that equips startups with the tools to achieve HIPAA compliance effortlessly, so you can focus on building game-changing solutions.

The HIPAA Challenge for Startups

HIPAA applies to any organization handling PHI, from telehealth platforms to wearable health apps. Failing to comply can lead to:

1. Hefty Fines: Up to $50,000 per violation, with annual penalties reaching $1.5 million.
2. Loss of Trust: Data breaches can destroy customer confidence, a critical blow for startups.
3. Operational Hurdles: Manual compliance processes drain time and resources.

Startups need a solution that’s secure, scalable, and easy to integrate. Databunker delivers exactly that, making HIPAA compliance a superpower rather than a burden.

How Databunker Saves the Day

Secure Data Storage

HIPAA demands that PHI be safeguarded at all times. Databunker employs AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit, ensuring that sensitive information is locked down tight.

Granular Access Controls

HIPAA requires limiting access to PHI to authorized users only. Databunker’s role-based access control (RBAC) lets you define precise permissions, so only the right people can access the right data.

Comprehensive Audit Logs

HIPAA mandates tracking all access to PHI. Databunker automatically creates tamper-proof audit logs, capturing who accessed what and when, giving you a clear trail for compliance and investigations.

Data Minimization

Reducing stored PHI lowers risk. Databunker’s tokenization replaces sensitive data with unique identifiers, minimizing exposure while keeping your app fully functional.

Patient Rights Made Simple

HIPAA grants patients rights to access and delete their data. Databunker’s self-service APIs enable secure data access and deletion, streamlining compliance with patient requests.
