Prove your HIPAA safeguards — without handing over patient data.
Hospitals and health plans want proof you protect their patients’ data before they sign. ZTZK proves your safeguards are working — and whoever checks the proof never sees a patient record.
The basics
HIPAA, explained.
For health-tech teams selling to covered entities.
HIPAA is the US federal law that governs how protected health information (PHI) is safeguarded, used and disclosed. Its Security, Privacy and Breach Notification Rules apply to healthcare providers, health plans and clearinghouses — and to the business associates that handle PHI for them.
There is no official HIPAA certification. Hospitals and health plans ask vendors to prove their safeguards through business associate agreements, security questionnaires and audits, and HHS’s Office for Civil Rights enforces the rules.
ZTZK checks 45 HIPAA controls where PHI lives and signs each result, so you can prove your safeguards to customers and auditors without sending them patient data.
Outcomes
What ZTZK proves for HIPAA.
PHI never has to move
Zero-knowledge proofs confirm a safeguard held — access was authorized, data was encrypted — without exposing the records it protects.
Technical safeguards, checked in code
Access control, audit logging, integrity and transmission security are checked where they’re implemented, every time you ship.
A record that holds up after an incident
Every check is signed to an append-only ledger, so if something goes wrong you have a tamper-evident record of what was in place, and when.
Scope
Across all three rules
HIPAA isn’t one checklist. ZTZK covers the three rules that apply to teams handling protected health information.
- Security Rule
- Administrative, physical and technical safeguards for electronic PHI — access control, audit controls, integrity, authentication and transmission security.
- Privacy Rule
- How protected health information is used and disclosed, and the rights patients have over it.
- Breach Notification Rule
- What happens after an incident — risk assessment, notification and documentation.
How it runs
HIPAA, step by step.
- Step 01
Map your safeguards
Each HIPAA control becomes a rule mapped to the systems that store or process PHI.
- Step 02
Check where PHI lives
Checks run inside your environment. Records stay in your systems — only proofs leave.
- Step 03
Answer with proof
Share proofs with auditors, covered-entity customers or partners. They verify; they never see PHI.
One control, many frameworks
Your HIPAA evidence counts twice.
An access-control check that satisfies HIPAA’s technical safeguards also counts toward SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Add a framework and the work you’ve already proven carries over.
FAQ
HIPAA questions, answered
Does protected health information leave our environment?
No. ZTZK proves that a safeguard is working without revealing the records behind it. The verifier sees the result and the proof, not the PHI.
Does ZTZK make us “HIPAA certified”?
There is no official HIPAA certification. ZTZK gives you verifiable evidence that your safeguards are in place, which you can share with auditors, partners and customers.
Can we answer customers’ security questionnaires with ZTZK?
Yes. Instead of attesting on trust, you can share proofs a covered entity’s security team verifies themselves — without access to your systems.
Does ZTZK cover policies and procedures, or only technical controls?
Both. Technical safeguards are checked automatically in code and infrastructure; administrative controls like policies and training are recorded with human sign-off and signed like everything else.
