HIPAA is the US healthcare privacy law. If you touch patient data — directly or as a vendor — you need administrative, physical and technical safeguards plus an audit trail proving they work.
HIPAA security readiness requires administrative, physical and technical safeguards, access control, audit logs, risk analysis, incident response and evidence that protected health information is handled safely.
Each requirement of the chosen framework, scored against each tool. Coverage is editorial — based on public documentation, vendor demos and user reports.
