Protect Healthcare Data. Secure Patient Trust.

BigID helps healthcare organizations discover and protect PHI, reduce data exposure, govern access, automate compliance, and securely use sensitive health data across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI environments.

Give security, privacy, compliance, and data teams the context they need to understand where healthcare data lives, who can access it, how it is being used, and where risk requires action.

BigID for Healthcare

How BigID Helps Healthcare Organizations

BigID helps healthcare organizations discover and classify PHI and other sensitive health data, understand who can access it, identify exposure, automate privacy and compliance controls, enforce retention policies, and govern how healthcare data is used by AI.

Discover

Find PHI Everywhere

Discover PHI across EHRs, cloud, SaaS, databases, files, research environments, data lakes, and AI-connected systems.

Protect

Reduce Data Exposure

Identify excessive access, risky sharing, stale data, misconfigurations, and sensitive data exposure across healthcare environments.

Comply

Operationalize Compliance

Support HIPAA, HITECH, privacy, retention, breach response, and audit workflows with data-driven evidence.

The Healthcare Data Challenge

Patient Data Is Everywhere.
So Is the Risk.

Healthcare data extends far beyond the EHR. PHI, clinical records, financial data, research datasets, imaging, genomic information, credentials, and other sensitive data move across cloud services, SaaS applications, collaboration tools, analytics platforms, third parties, and AI systems.

Fragmented

Healthcare Data

PHI exists across clinical, administrative, cloud, research, analytics, and collaboration systems.

Connected

Access & Sharing

Employees, clinicians, vendors, applications, service accounts, and AI systems can create complex access paths.

Exposed

Data Risk

Excessive access, stale data, misconfigurations, risky sharing, and AI use can expose sensitive health information.

Business Impact

Compliance & Trust

Data exposure increases breach impact, regulatory risk, operational cost, and risk to patient trust.

Healthcare Data Discovery

Find Sensitive Healthcare Data Wherever It Lives

Healthcare organizations cannot protect data they cannot find. BigID discovers and classifies sensitive health information across structured, unstructured, cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI-connected environments.

Healthcare Outcomes

Protect Data Without Slowing Healthcare Innovation

โœ“

Reduce PHI Exposure

Identify where sensitive patient data is overexposed and prioritize the access, sharing, and configuration risks that matter most.

โœ“

Strengthen Audit Readiness

Build defensible evidence for PHI discovery, access governance, retention, remediation, policy enforcement, and compliance reporting.

โœ“

Accelerate Incident Response

Understand which sensitive data was affected, where it lived, who could access it, and what remediation should happen first.

โœ“

Reduce Unnecessary Data

Minimize stale and over-retained healthcare data to lower exposure, reduce storage overhead, and simplify governance.

โœ“

Enable Secure Cloud Transformation

Identify and protect sensitive healthcare workloads before, during, and after cloud migration.

โœ“

Scale AI More Safely

Understand the sensitive data behind healthcare AI and apply security, access, privacy, and governance controls before exposure grows.

Healthcare Compliance

Turn Healthcare Requirements Into Data Controls

Healthcare compliance requires more than documenting policies. Organizations need evidence that sensitive data can be discovered, access can be understood, exposure can be reduced, retention can be enforced, and controls can be demonstrated.

Explore HIPAA Compliance
HIPAA Protect PHI and support privacy, security, access, and audit controls.
HITECH Strengthen electronic health information protection and breach preparedness.
Global Privacy Apply privacy controls to healthcare data subject to applicable regional requirements.
Retention Apply defensible lifecycle policies to healthcare records and sensitive data.
Audit Evidence Document discovery, access, activity, policy enforcement, and remediation.
