Protect PHI Everywhere.
Simplify HIPAA Compliance.
Real safeguards for Protected Health Information, deployed inline, without disrupting clinical or operational systems.
Schedule a DemoHow DataStealth Helps With HIPAA Compliance
Tokenization & Masking
Replace PHI with secure tokens or masked values so raw identifiers never appear in systems.
Data Discovery & Classification
Locate PHI across structured, unstructured, on-prem, and cloud environments.
Dynamic Access Control
Enforce role-based, "minimum necessary" access to PHI.
Flexible Deployment
Deploy on-prem, in the cloud, or hybrid: no application rewrites.
Protected by Default. De-Identified When You Need It.
A DataStealth token can only be reversed from inside the vault, by a request from an authorized system, verified against policy. Outside that boundary, a token carries no mathematical or statistical relationship to the original value; an attacker who exfiltrates tokenized PHI gets nothing usable. Because that reversal path exists for legitimate purposes, HIPAA classifies the data as PHI, so it keeps receiving the Security Rule's full protection rather than falling out of scope.
HIPAA also recognizes two ways to remove data from PHI status entirely: Safe Harbor, which requires removing all 18 identifiers defined under §164.514(b)(2), and Expert Determination, where a qualified statistician certifies that re-identification risk is very small. A Limited Data Set sits in between: direct identifiers are stripped, but dates and geography can remain, and it still requires a signed Data Use Agreement.
DataStealth supports both models from the same platform. Keep tokenization reversible for day-to-day operations, where clinicians, applications, and analytics keep working and authorized users can always recover the real value. Or configure irreversible masking across all 18 Safe Harbor fields when you need output that is no longer PHI at all. If your use case calls for Expert Determination instead, DataStealth's protected output is a strong foundation for your independent statistician's certification.
Three Paths, Three Different Outcomes
Safe Harbor
§164.514(b)(2)All 18 identifiers above are removed or generalized, with no actual knowledge that what remains could still identify someone. Output is no longer PHI.
Expert Determination
§164.514(b)(1)A qualified statistician applies accepted methods and formally certifies that re-identification risk is very small. Output is no longer PHI.
Limited Data Set
§164.514(e)Direct identifiers are stripped but dates and geographic detail down to town/city/state/ZIP may remain. Still PHI: requires a signed Data Use Agreement.
More Than a Checkbox. Real Safeguards for PHI.
HIPAA requires covered entities and business associates to implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for PHI at rest, in motion, and in use. Compliance is about more than policies: it's about keeping PHI out of reach in the first place.
DataStealth is a business associate under HIPAA. We execute a signed BAA with every covered entity and business associate customer before touching PHI, and operate under its safeguard obligations for the life of the relationship.
