Robocorp Successfully Completes HIPAA Audit Program

Robocorp, the leading provider of open-source robotic process automation (RPA), has completed an audit covering Health Information Privacy related to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, otherwise known as HIPAA. An independent accounting and auditing firm has reviewed and examined the company’s data handling and security practices, ensuring that Robocorp meets the highest standards for protecting its customers’ confidential information.

What is the HIPAA Audit Program?

HIPAA is a federal law that created national standards to protect sensitive patient health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent or knowledge.

The HIPAA Audit Program reviews the policies and procedures adopted and employed by covered entities and business associates, like Robocorp, to meet selected standards and implementation specifications of the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). These analyses were conducted using a comprehensive audit protocol prescribed by HHS.

What’s involved in the HIPAA Audit Program?

A trusted third-party auditor is responsible for selecting the HIPAA Audit Program criteria and assessing how Robocorp complies with the requirements that encompass:

• Identifying applicable compliance requirements relevant to Robocorp activities.
• Determining the types of services provided by Robocorp, including the classes of transactions and data processed that are impacted by the requirements.
• Determining how Robocorp systems capture and address significant events and conditions other than transactions.
• Implementing processes and procedures to address the requirements of the HIPAA Audit Program.
• Identifying other aspects of the control environment, risk assessment process, information and communication systems, control activities, and monitoring controls relevant to processing and reporting transactions.
• Establishing and maintaining internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that Robocorp complies with those requirements.
• Evaluating and monitoring Robocorp’s compliance with the HIPAA Audit Program.
• Determining legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements and Robocorp compliance with those requirements.

Why it’s Important, and Why it Matters

The examination was conducted following attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and required the third-party auditor to obtain reasonable assurance that Robocorp complied, in all material respects, with specified HIPAA protocols and requirements.

The audit is helpful to clients when considering a service provider’s credentials. They apply to healthcare providers, payers, clearinghouses, and business associates that process health-related data, like Robocorp. The audit provides confidence that health data is protected and kept private.
