HITECH

HITECH framework template extending HIPAA with breach notification, stronger enforcement, and direct business-associate liability. Focuses on unsecured PHI incidents, required notices to individuals and HHS, and the role of encryption and audit evidence in AI-enabled healthcare operations.

This template is a configurable starting point and control mapping. It is not certification, legal advice, or a guarantee of compliance; validate it against your obligations and environment before use.
