Periodic technical evaluation, evidenced.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires covered entities and business associates to conduct periodic technical and non-technical evaluation. SecHive produces the technical artifacts: replayable, redacted-safe, and bound to the engagement scope.

§ Articles → Evidence

Where SecHive evidence fits in HIPAA Security Rule.

The mapping is intentionally narrow. We list only the articles where SecHive produces a directly defensible artifact, and we name the artifact.

Article / control	What it requires	SecHive artifact
§164.308(a)(1) — Risk analysis	Accurate and thorough assessment of potential risks and vulnerabilities.	Hypothesis graph and validated finding set per engagement.
§164.308(a)(8) — Evaluation	Periodic technical and non-technical evaluation.	Mode-labeled, retained, and replayable proof packs.
§164.312(a)(1) — Access control	Technical policies and procedures to allow access only to authorized persons.	Authorization-replay and IDOR findings, with replay scripts retained.
§164.312(b) — Audit controls	Hardware, software, and procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity.	Reproducible exploit chains feed detection and audit log design.
§164.314 — Business Associate contracts	Written assurances that BA will appropriately safeguard ePHI.	Source-audit run mode against BA-supplied components.

§ Sample evidence

A page from the matrix.

SecHive renders an evidence matrix per engagement. Below is one row, redacted.

EVIDENCE ROW — sample

What an auditor sees

The control id and the finding id, bound together.
A run-mode label (black-box, source-aware, etc.).
A sha256 of the underlying artifact.
A reviewer disposition with operator identity.
A retest record if the finding has been remediated.
