Security & compliance scanning for healthtech
From digital-front-door startups to provider-facing AI products, healthtech sits at the intersection of HIPAA, SOC 2, and increasing payer/health-system scrutiny. KollGuard scans your stack against all of them at once — built by an ex-Epic PM who's seen healthcare procurement from both sides.
- Patient-facing apps storing PHI in Supabase / Postgres
- AI scribes and clinical decision support tools
- EHR-integrated SaaS (Epic, Athena, Cerner integrations)
- Care navigation platforms with payer contracts
- Telehealth scheduling, billing, RCM
- Clinical research portals and patient registries

Why healthtech teams pick KollGuard
- Healthcare-IT-native: founded by ex-Epic PM, not generic GRC. The control mapping is shaped by what hospital-system buyers actually scrutinize.
- First scan free, $19.89/mo Starter — the cost gap from $20k+/yr platforms matters when you're pre-Series A.
- Scans the PHI-shaped column patterns auditors check (schema-side; row data never touched).
- Risk-acceptance flow requires a documented justification — exactly what HIPAA-§164.308(a)(1) and HITRUST i1 assessors want.
- Trust Center for sharing posture with hospital procurement without leaking specifics.

HIPAA vs HITRUST CSF
When the i1 or r2 certification is worth the $60k+ price tag.

You probably need both. When to get each.
Frequently asked
- Does KollGuard work for clinical decision support tools?
- Yes — and the AI scribe / CDS category is the fastest-growing healthtech segment KollGuard tracks. Our HIPAA-for-AI-startups guide covers the BAA chain for OpenAI / Anthropic / Vertex AI; our scanner verifies the technical controls behind it.
- We're integrating with Epic — does that change my compliance posture?
- Epic integrations themselves don't change your obligations — but Epic's procurement team will scrutinize your security posture as part of integration approval. A clean SOC 2 + documented HIPAA posture substantially speeds the review. (Raj has been on the Epic procurement side; ask anytime.)
- What about JCAHO?
- KollGuard covers the JCAHO Information Management (IM) standards via crosswalk — electronic health record integrity, access controls, and audit logging. Native JCAHO assertion requires a formal Joint Commission survey, which is out of scope for a scanner.
- Can KollGuard help with a BAA?
- We provide template BAAs as part of the evidence package starting on Growth tier. Engage healthcare counsel for any BAA you actually sign — the per-deal terms vary too much for a template to be safe.
