HIPAA + HITECH + NY SHIELD Act = Complete Compliance for Buffalo Healthcare Apps
At Taction Software, we build Buffalo healthcare apps that meet HIPAA, HITECH, and New York’s SHIELD Act standards—so your platform is secure, compliant, and audit-ready from day one.
🔐 HIPAA: The Foundation of Healthcare Data Privacy
HIPAA is the national standard for the security and privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI) in electronic form.
Important HIPAA Rules:
- Privacy Rule: Controls who can access and disclose patient information
- Security Rule: Provides technical safeguards for electronic PHI (ePHI)
- Breach Notification Rule: Mandates notification of data breaches
At Taction Software, we make HIPAA compliance part of our app development process at every level, from HIPAA-compliant database to role-based access controls. Your Buffalo healthcare app will be audit-ready, compliant, and built to be trusted.
🔒 HITECH: Strengthening Digital Health Security
HITECH is an extension of HIPAA that deals with the security of EHRs, breach liability, and expanded compliance to app vendors and developers.
HITECH requires compliance with:
- Timely breach notifications
- Encryption and Audit Logging of PHI
- Increased violation penalties
- Liability to app developers and 3rd-party vendors
HITECH & PHR vendors, like Taction Software, are responsible for building HITECH into every Buffalo healthcare app from secure infrastructure to deployment to ensure your platform is transparent, secure, and enforcement ready.
🛡️SHIELD Act: Buffalo’s Statewide Standard for Data Privacy
NY’s SHIELD Act is more expansive than HIPAA. It covers any personally identifiable information (PII) from the most basic to the most sensitive, including your name, email address, social security number, health records, and biometric data from ANY business that collects data from New York residents.
Apps based out of Buffalo have to:
- Employ a comprehensive data security program
- Encrypt sensitive data with technical and physical safeguards
- Conduct regular risk assessments and maintain access controls
At Taction Software, we build every Buffalo based healthcare app with SHIELD Act compliance at the foundation from secure code and architecture, all the way through user access policies and monitoring.
PHI encryption. Breach response. Patient privacy. We get every layer of compliance—HIPAA, HITECH and NY SHIELD Act—at Taction Software, from day one.
We exceed federal regulations and satisfy New York’s toughest data security standards so your Buffalo health care app is secure, scalable and audit-ready from the start.
