AI Healthcare Compliance Agent
Real-time HIPAA, HITECH, and GDPR-health compliance checks on every encrypted payload — before it ever touches your storage layer.
Overview
What it does
Inspects encryption metadata, access patterns, and storage configuration for every protected health information (PHI) workflow running through AKRUM, then returns a structured compliance verdict.
Maps every flagged event to the specific regulatory clause it violates (e.g., HIPAA §164.312(a)(2)(iv), GDPR Art. 32) and recommends the exact configuration change required to bring the workload into compliance.
Runs in milliseconds, returns structured JSON, and integrates into your CI/CD pipeline, your runtime guardrails, or your audit pipeline.
How it works
A 4-step evaluation flow
Submit metadata
POST encrypted payload metadata + workflow context to /v1/agents/healthcare-compliance/evaluate.
Inspect controls
Agent inspects key length, cipher mode, access control, transit security, and retention metadata.
Cross-reference
Cross-references against HIPAA, HITECH, GDPR-health, and HHS guidance.
Return verdict
Returns a structured verdict: pass / warn / fail per rule, with remediation steps.
Sandbox
Try it live
Adjust the inputs and run the agent against a simulated PHI workflow.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What regulations does this agent check for?
+
It evaluates workloads against HIPAA Security Rule, HITECH, GDPR Articles 9 and 32 for special-category health data, NIST SP 800-66 and 800-111, ONC certification criteria, and CMS Promoting Interoperability requirements — all grounded in public regulatory text.
Does it run compliance checks on encrypted payloads without exposing PHI?
+
Yes. The agent inspects encryption metadata, key configuration, access patterns, and storage configuration — never the underlying PHI bytes. Your protected health information stays encrypted at rest and in transit throughout the entire evaluation.
How does it integrate into an existing healthcare data pipeline?
+
Call /v1/agents/healthcare-compliance/evaluate from your CI/CD pipeline, runtime guardrails, or audit jobs. It returns structured JSON in milliseconds with a pass, warn, or fail verdict per rule, plus the exact remediation step required.
Is patient data ever decrypted or stored?
+
No. The agent only ever sees metadata you choose to send — cipher, key rotation interval, transit protocol, classification, workflow context. Raw PHI is never decrypted by AKRUM and is never persisted by the compliance agent.
Is there a free sandbox to test it?
+
Yes. Every page includes an interactive sandbox where you can adjust cipher, rotation, transit, and logging inputs and see a live HIPAA verdict. Free covers exploration, paid tiers unlock production API keys and higher throughput.
