HIPAA + HITECH + NY SHIELD Act = Full Compliance for Albany Healthcare Apps
At Taction Software, we build every Albany healthcare app with federal and state data privacy laws in mind. HIPAA and HITECH, New York’s SHIELD Act and other data privacy regulations are all addressed in our apps from the start. All of our apps are designed to be secure, scalable, and audit-ready day one. We make sure that your organization has full data protection and compliance, no matter where you are located in the Albany, Colonie, or the Capital Region at large.
🔐 HIPAA: The Foundation of Healthcare Data Privacy
HIPAA is the national standard for ensuring the privacy and security of Protected Health Information (PHI), particularly in electronic systems.
- Key HIPAA Rules:
- Privacy Rule: Governs who can access and share patient data
- Security Rule: Specifies technical safeguards for electronic PHI (ePHI)
- Breach Notification Rule: Mandates organizations to inform stakeholders of data breaches
HIPAA compliance is built into every stage of the development lifecycle at Taction Software. From secure, encrypted databases to role-based access controls, we make sure your Albany healthcare app is secure, compliant, and audit-ready from day one.
🔒 HITECH: Strengthening Digital Health Security
The HITECH Act beefs up HIPAA, with new rules governing electronic health records (EHRs), data breaches, and extending HIPAA compliance to software vendors and app developers.
HITECH Compliance Standards:
- Timely breach notification to regulators & impacted users
- Encryption & detailed audit logging of PHI access
- Stronger penalties for HIPAA violations
- Shared liability with app developers & 3rd-party vendors
HITECH compliance is part of every Albany healthcare app from Taction Software—from backend to front-end, user-facing functionality. Your app is secure, transparent, and enforcement-ready, no matter how complex the use case.
🛡️ SHIELD Act: Albany’s Statewide Standard for Data Privacy
New York’s SHIELD Act requires a higher level of security than HIPAA. The SHIELD Act protects a wider set of personally identifiable information (PII) – name, email, social security number, health records, biometric data, etc. If your healthcare app has users in Albany, you must comply with the SHIELD Act, even if your business is not located in Albany.
If your healthcare app is based in Albany, then you must:
- Have a comprehensive data security program in place
- Encrypt sensitive information and store data securely using technical, physical and administrative safeguards
- Perform periodic risk assessments and access control
- At Taction Software, we integrate SHIELD Act Compliance in each Albany healthcare app that we build, starting from secure coding practices, system architecture, and detailed access policies to ongoing monitoring. Your app will be legally compliant, easily scalable and audit-ready from day one.
At Taction Software, we handle all aspects of compliance (HIPAA, HITECH, and NY SHIELD Act) from the ground up.
We implement more than federal compliance requirements so that your Albany-based healthcare app is secure, scalable, and 100% audit-ready from day one.

Here are the most common questions we hear, answered directly by Taction Software’s in-house compliance and development experts with deep, hands-on experience in HIPAA, HITECH, and the NY SHIELD Act.
Yes.
