From initial security incident through breach determination, notification, and corrective action — manage the entire response lifecycle in one place.
Not every security event is a breach, but every event needs to be documented. HIPAA Defender provides structured incident logging with clear escalation paths.
Categorize incidents: Unauthorized Access, Malware, Lost/Stolen Device, Improper Disclosure, Phishing, System Intrusion, Physical Security, and more.
Track incidents from Under Investigation through Contained, Resolved (Breach or Non-Breach), and Closed. Every status change is timestamped.
Maintain a timeline of investigation notes for each incident. Document what was found, who was involved, and what actions were taken.
When an incident involves PHI, escalate it to the breach module with one click. All incident details carry over automatically.
When a potential breach is identified, HIPAA Defender guides you through the required 4-factor risk assessment to determine whether notification is required.
Based on these factors, the platform calculates a breach probability score and helps you make a defensible determination: Breach, Not a Breach, Low Probability Exception, or Pending further investigation.
When a breach is confirmed, HIPAA Defender tracks all required notifications with deadline awareness.
Track notification to affected individuals within the required 60-day window. Document delivery method and completion.
Track reporting to the Department of Health and Human Services. Breaches affecting 500+ individuals require immediate reporting.
Breaches affecting 500+ individuals in a state require media notification. Track publication and distribution.
Track state attorney general notifications where required by state breach notification laws.
Document all evidence collected during investigation and track corrective actions through to completion. Generate annual breach reports for compliance review.
