HIPAA evidence
Recognize builds recognition programs that get adopted by managers and staff alike, across offices, remote teams, and frontline
45 CFR Parts 160 and 164
3 provisions of HIPAA reach the vendors you rely on. For each, the public evidence from Recognize Services that may support it, with its date and source.
A covered entity may let a business associate create, receive, maintain or transmit electronic PHI only if it obtains satisfactory assurances, documented in a contract that meets 164.314(a), that the business associate will safeguard it.
Business associate agreement
No public evidenceThe BAA is the contract that gives the satisfactory assurances the Security and Privacy Rules require.
The contract must require the business associate to comply with the Security Rule’s applicable requirements and to ensure its own subcontractors agree to the same.
Independent security assurance
Evidence foundA current SOC 2 report or ISO/IEC 27001 certificate is the usual evidence that a supplier operates appropriate security measures.
A business associate must notify the covered entity of a breach of unsecured PHI without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 calendar days after discovery.
Incident response and notification
Available on requestAn incident response plan or a published notification commitment shows how and when the supplier tells customers about incidents.
CertReports does not decide that. It shows the public evidence that may support each HIPAA requirement that reaches vendors: evidence was found or is available on request for safeguards the business associate operates (45 CFR 164.314(a)(2)(i)), breach notification by the business associate (45 CFR 164.410), and nothing public was found for business associate agreement.
Request incident response and notification, business associate agreement, and confirm each is current.

This maps third-party obligations to the vendor evidence that may support them. It is not legal advice and never a statement that a vendor or its customers comply; confirm scope and sufficiency with your counsel or auditor. “No public evidence” means nothing public was found at the last check. Citations link to the official text.
Requirements reviewed 21 Sep 2026. The vendor lists the evidence on its trust centre behind a request or NDA; ask for it.
