Security That Meets the Highest Standards

Every feature in coreCRM's HIPAA mode is designed to protect PHI and meet the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule.

Encryption

AES-256 Encryption at Rest

When HIPAA mode is enabled, all sensitive contact data is encrypted using AES-256-CBC before being written to the database. Names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and custom fields are all protected.

  • Industry-standard AES-256-CBC cipher
  • Per-tenant encryption keys — your key never leaves your account
  • Data is unreadable at the database level without the key
  • Transparent encryption — no workflow changes required

Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication

HIPAA requires that covered entities implement procedures to verify the identity of anyone accessing ePHI. coreCRM provides TOTP-based MFA that can be enforced organization-wide with a single toggle.

  • Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password
  • One-time recovery codes for backup access
  • Enforce MFA for all users or specific roles
Audit Trail

Complete Audit Logging

Every interaction with protected data is recorded in an immutable audit log. Know exactly who accessed what, when, and from which IP address. Logs are retained for the HIPAA-mandated minimum of 6 years.

  • Record-level access logging — who viewed which contact
  • Login attempts, logouts, and session activity tracked
  • IP address, user agent, and timestamp on every event
  • Exportable reports for compliance reviews

Session Controls

Automatic Session Timeout

In healthcare environments, shared workstations are common. coreCRM automatically locks inactive sessions after 15 minutes, preventing unauthorized access when staff step away from a shared computer.

  • 15-minute inactivity timeout (configurable)
  • Re-authentication required to resume
  • Protects shared workstations in care facilities
Access Controls

Record-Level Access Controls

The HIPAA "minimum necessary" standard requires that workforce members only access the PHI they need to do their job. coreCRM enforces this at the data level — staff only see records assigned to them.

  • Role-based access: CEO, Sales, Finance
  • Record ownership — staff see only their assigned contacts
  • Administrators retain full visibility for oversight
  • Permission changes logged in the audit trail

HIPAA Security Rule Compliance

coreCRM addresses the key technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule (45 CFR Part 164, Subpart C).

Access Controls

§164.312(a)

Unique user identification, automatic logoff, and encryption/decryption of ePHI. coreCRM provides per-user logins, session timeouts, and AES-256 encryption.

Audit Controls

§164.312(b)

Hardware, software, and procedural mechanisms to record and examine access to ePHI. coreCRM logs every access, modification, and login with full detail.

Integrity Controls

§164.312(c)

Policies to protect ePHI from improper alteration or destruction. coreCRM uses encrypted storage and audit-logged modifications to ensure data integrity.

Person or Entity Authentication

§164.312(d)

Procedures to verify identity before granting access. coreCRM supports password-based login with TOTP multi-factor authentication.

Transmission Security

§164.312(e)

Guard against unauthorized access during transmission. coreCRM enforces TLS 1.2+ for all connections and HTTPS-only access.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about coreCRM's HIPAA compliance features.

There is no official "HIPAA certification" — the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services does not endorse or certify any software as HIPAA compliant. What matters is that the software provides the technical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule. coreCRM provides encryption, access controls, audit logging, authentication, and transmission security as outlined in 45 CFR §164.312.

Yes. We execute Business Associate Agreements with all customers who require one. A BAA is available on request for any paid plan. Please contact our sales team to initiate the BAA process.

When HIPAA mode is enabled, all personally identifiable contact fields are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC. This includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and any custom fields you add. Data is encrypted before being written to the database and decrypted only when accessed by an authorized user.

HIPAA mode is a per-tenant (organization) setting — when enabled, it applies to all users in your organization. This is by design: HIPAA compliance must be consistent across all access points to be effective. You cannot selectively exclude users from the security controls.

The encryption and decryption process adds minimal overhead — typically less than 5ms per request. Your team will not notice any difference in day-to-day usage. Audit logging runs asynchronously and does not block user interactions.

coreCRM data is hosted on infrastructure within the United States. All data transmission is encrypted via TLS 1.2+, and data at rest is encrypted with AES-256 when HIPAA mode is enabled. We do not transfer data outside the U.S.
