🔐 HIPAA: The Foundation of Healthcare Data Privacy
HIPAA is the foundation of healthcare data privacy in the United States. It sets standards for the collection, storage, sharing and protection of Protected Health Information (PHI) on any digital system.
HIPAA Rules include:
- Privacy Rule – The circumstances under which data can be accessed or disclosed
- Security Rule – The technical safeguards for the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic PHI (ePHI)
- Breach Notification Rule – The timeframes and methods for notification in the event of a data breach
Taction Software embeds HIPAA Compliance into every layer of the application development process. This includes secure databases and role-based user access to ensure your app is compliant, secure and audit-ready right from the start.
🔒 HITECH: Strengthening Digital Health Security
The HITECH Act takes the HIPAA law a step further. It emphasizes electronic health records (EHRs) and online security measures. It also holds more people accountable, bringing even more of the healthcare network under the umbrella of compliance.
HITECH compliance requires:
- Timely breach notification to affected parties and authorities
- Encryption and audit logging to secure and monitor access to sensitive information
- Higher penalties for non-compliance and HIPAA violations
- Extended liability to business associates (including app developers, 3rd-party vendors)
HITECH is built into every stage of Taction Software’s app development process, from infrastructure to deployment. That way, your platform is secure, transparent, and ready for enforcement actions.
🛡️ NY SHIELD Act: New York’s Data Privacy Law
The SHIELD Act (Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security Act) is New York State’s data privacy law—and it’s even more stringent than HIPAA. If your business collects any private information from New York residents, even if it’s outside the state, you’re required to comply with the SHIELD Act.
Here are a few key points:
- Establish a data security program to protect the personal info of New York residents
- Protect names, emails, health data, biometric identifiers, and other private data
- Apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
Taction Software helps make sure your app is SHIELD Act compliant by weaving secure coding into the SDLC, conducting periodic risk assessments, and enacting rigorous access controls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Creating a healthcare app in NYC? So are we! Here are the most common questions we get, answered by our in-house HIPAA, HITECH, and NY SHIELD Act experts.
Yes. If your app collects health or personal data from NYC residents, it must comply with federal HIPAA rules and New York’s SHIELD Act, which applies to a broader set of private information beyond PHI.
Absolutely. We specialize in EHR integrations and have experience working with Epic, Cerner, AthenaHealth, and custom APIs used by NYC’s major health systems.
We implement end-to-end encryption, multi-factor authentication, breach monitoring, audit logs, and role-based access—ensuring full compliance with NYC’s strict security expectations.
HIPAA applies to PHI (Protected Health Information). The SHIELD Act covers a broader range of personal data (emails, biometrics, names), and applies even to non-healthcare businesses operating in NYC that collect resident data.
A typical HIPAA-compliant MVP takes 12–16 weeks, depending on complexity, EHR integration, and compliance requirements. We handle everything—from strategy to deployment.
