HIPAA Assistant
A Go-based CLI and MCP server that scans your AWS configurations against HIPAA Security Rule controls before deployment.
What it does
- Scan - Analyzes CloudFormation, Terraform, or application code for HIPAA Security Rule compliance gaps
- Advise - Provides remediation steps for identified gaps
- Reference - Maps each finding to the verbatim Code of Federal Regulations text (45 CFR Part 164) so you know exactly which control is at risk
How to use it
https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-hipaa-assistant
Runs as a CLI tool or as an MCP server you can invoke directly from your IDE.
Disclaimer
This tool provides cited technical guidance based on publicly available HIPAA Security Rule text (45 CFR Part 164) and AWS documentation. It is not legal advice and does not constitute a compliance certification. Work with qualified legal counsel and compliance professionals before handling PHI in production.
