HIPAA's hardest controls are the ones about people.
Minimum necessary access, workforce training, sanctions, termination procedures — the Security Rule's people-shaped requirements are where programs get findings. Talarity runs access reviews, joiner-mover-leaver, and training evidence inside the same program as the rest of HIPAA.
Sound familiar?
Access reviews are exported from the IdP, reviewed in a spreadsheet, and never linked back to the control they satisfy.
Terminated workforce members keep application access because offboarding is a checklist in another system.
Training completion lives in the LMS; the auditor asks for it attached to the workforce security control.
Role changes grant new access without removing the old — and nobody sees the accumulation until an audit does.
The risk analysis OCR expects is refreshed annually as a document rather than maintained as a program.
The Security Rule is mostly about who has access, and why.
Read the HIPAA Security Rule administrative safeguards closely and a pattern emerges: workforce security, information access management, security awareness training, termination procedures, sanctions. A large share of the rule is about people — who was granted access, on what basis, who reviewed it, and what happened when they left or changed roles.
Most healthcare organizations run those controls in systems that don't talk to the compliance program. Access reviews happen in a spreadsheet exported from the identity provider. Offboarding is an HR checklist. Training completion sits in the LMS. Each of those may work perfectly well on its own terms — and still leave the program unable to show, for a specific person on a specific date, that access was appropriate and reviewed.
Talarity puts those controls where the evidence needs to be. Access reviews and entitlement reviews run inside the GRC program and attach to the controls they satisfy. Joiner-mover-leaver events produce a record of what was granted and what was revoked. Training and attestation completion sit against the workforce security control rather than in a separate export. The risk analysis stays current because it's connected to the controls that change.

- Compliance·9 min readSave a security package once, send it on demandA prospect's security team asks for your SOC 2, your pen test, and your current security policies — again. Package Templates save that set as a reusable definition of pinned items plus rules like 'every current SOC 2 report', resolve it fresh each time you send, and hand it over as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy with a record of who received what.
- Compliance·6 min readSystem Configuration — turn a completed assessment into enforceable, drift-tracked baselinesEvery safeguard you scored in an assessment becomes an enforceable expected value. Talarity re-checks the observed state, flags drift, opens remediation automatically, and lets you attach evidence per control — so your controls stay implemented, not just documented once.
- Governance·6 min readExport and verify your audit trail for SOC 2Pull your full audit trail as a SOC 2 evidence file in any format, then prove it wasn't altered with a one-click tamper-evidence check — backed by a per-row hash chain and a Merkle root your auditor can re-verify offline.
- Compliance·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
