Healthcare / HIPAA + AI

HIPAA AI Risk Assessment

Assess where AI systems touch ePHI, which vendors and workflows are involved, what safeguards are evidenced, and where the use case creates unresolved security risk.

01 / THE REVIEW QUESTION

Start with the system, data, and decision—not a generic checklist.

AI does not create a separate HIPAA security regime. The practical problem is understanding where ePHI enters an AI-enabled workflow, which parties create, receive, maintain, or transmit it, and whether the safeguards and risk analysis actually cover that environment.

02 / Questions to answer

What a useful assessment should establish.

01

Where does ePHI enter, leave, or persist in the AI workflow?

02

Which AI providers or subprocessors may function as business associates for the use case?

03

What administrative, physical, and technical safeguards are evidenced?

04

Do risk analysis and risk management records include the AI-enabled systems and dependencies?

03 / Assessment scope

What Ayliea examines.

Exact procedures are confirmed in writing before work begins. Technical testing is performed only when explicitly scoped and authorized.

01AI system and ePHI data-flow mapping

02Vendor and business-associate boundary review

03Identity, access, configuration, retention, and logging evidence

04HIPAA Security Rule-relevant mapping where applicable

05Findings, limitations, and remediation priorities

04 / OUTPUT

Evidence and findings another reviewer can follow.

The deliverable separates what was observed or supplied from what was represented, unavailable, untested, or outside scope. That keeps the conclusion useful without overstating what the evidence proves.

06 / SCOPE THE WORK

Have a real system or review question in mind?

Bring the AI system, the data it touches, the review trigger, and the evidence you already have. Ayliea will determine whether a Review, Assessment, or broader scope fits.
