HIPAA compliance solution
See who has access to PHI, and prove it for HIPAA audits
Netwrix HIPAA compliance software gives you continuous visibility into who can reach protected health information, enforces least privilege, and produces the audit trail regulators ask for, automatically.
Most compliance software can't tell you who actually has access to PHI, or whether that access is appropriate.
You don't know where PHI lives
Only 43% of organizations maintain a continuously updated inventory of where sensitive data resides.
Access outgrows need
51% report role-aligned access with some overprovisioning; 13% say many users have broader access than necessary.
Incidents become compliance problems
Among organizations with unauthorized access incidents, 29% cite compliance or regulatory exposure as a direct business impact, according to the 2026 Data and Identity Security Report.

Need to meet more than one regulation at once?
See risk across every user and computer at a glance
A continuous risk assessment dashboard helps identify and assess risk across users, computers, permissions, data, and infrastructure, supporting HIPAA's risk analysis requirement.
Know exactly how much PHI you have, and where it lives
Data discovery and classification gives a complete picture of where sensitive data lives, breaking it down by category so you always know where PHI actually resides.
Get alerted the moment privileged access changes
Get notified whenever a user is added to a privileged group, so improper changes to who can access PHI can be caught and reverted quickly.
Search across Entra ID and Azure activity in one place
Search across Active Directory, Entra ID, and cloud activity from a single console, so you can answer who accessed PHI without jumping between native admin tools.
Investigate incidents with a full case history
Keep an organized case history of every investigation, so incidents involving PHI are documented, tracked, and ready to show an auditor.
