3+ years of hands-on experience implementing, operating, or materially maturing HIPAA programs in a technology, SaaS, health-tech, or highly regulated environment.
Strong working knowledge of HIPAA Security Rule requirements and practical experience applying HIPAA safeguards to cloud, SaaS, data, and engineering environments.
Understanding of how PHI/ePHI flows through modern systems and ability to partner with engineering teams on data classification, access controls, encryption, logging, retention, and secure data handling.
Experience with adjacent frameworks and standards such as HITRUST, SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, PCI DSS, GDPR or CCPA.
