Healthcare
Sell to healthcare enterprises with confidence.
Hospitals, payers, and health systems will not buy without a hard look at how you protect data and run engineering. ShipReady helps a healthcare startup prove readiness for that review with evidence from its own systems — not assertions.
The frameworks your buyers expect
ShipReady helps you assess readiness, map controls, and collect evidence across these frameworks — one control, one piece of evidence, many mappings. It is readiness, not certification: nothing here provides an audit opinion, a HITRUST certification, or a guarantee of compliance.
One organization, measured and proven
A healthcare buyer evaluates more than your privacy policy. The same ShipReady Score also measures AI Readiness and Engineering Excellence — the SDLC, delivery reliability, and security posture — so you can show, with evidence, the technology organization behind the product.
What a healthcare security review asks for
A hospital or payer procurement team usually sends a long security questionnaire, asks for a SOC 2 report or a plan to get one, and wants to know how your controls line up with the HIPAA Security Rule. Larger health systems may ask whether you are pursuing HITRUST. Behind every question is the same request: show us, do not tell us.
The answers that hold up are the ones backed by evidence: who has access to production, how changes are reviewed, how vulnerabilities are found and closed, how data is encrypted, and what happens when something goes wrong. Those answers live in your engineering and cloud systems, which is where ShipReady reads them.
One control, many mappings
HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2 overlap heavily. ShipReady maps them onto one canonical control model, so a single piece of evidence counts toward every requirement it satisfies instead of being collected three times. Readiness is derived only from evidence a person on your team has accepted. Accepted evidence marks a control met; rejected evidence marks it as a named gap.
A control with no evidence yet is shown as not verified, never as a pass. That is the honest starting point for a readiness conversation: what is done, what is a known gap, and what nobody has checked.
Preparing for a health system's review
Start by connecting the systems that hold the evidence: source control and your cloud accounts. Review what ShipReady collects, accept the evidence that holds up, and reject what does not, so each control reads met, a named gap, or not verified. The named gaps become your remediation list, ordered before a buyer finds them.
When the review arrives, answer from evidence rather than memory. Share restricted documents through an access request you approve, point technical reviewers at the engineering scores, and be explicit about anything still not verified. Healthcare buyers are used to vendors overstating; a clear account of what is done and what is in progress stands out.
Frequently asked questions
- Does ShipReady make us HIPAA compliant?
- No tool can do that on its own. ShipReady helps you assess readiness, map controls, and collect evidence against HIPAA. It is readiness, not certification, and it does not provide an audit opinion or a guarantee of compliance.
- Can we get HITRUST certified through ShipReady?
- No. HITRUST certification follows an assessment by an authorized external assessor. ShipReady helps you prepare by organizing evidence against the controls, so the assessment starts from a clear picture of what is done and what is left.
- What does ShipReady read from our systems?
- Engineering and cloud configuration from the connectors you enable. The data access page lists exactly what each connector reads. You choose which systems to connect and which repositories are in scope.
- Who decides whether a control is met?
- Your team does. Evidence is reviewed by a person: accepting it marks the control met, and rejecting it marks a named gap. A control without evidence stays not verified.
- Why does engineering maturity matter to a health system?
- Because the risk they are buying is the software, not the policy document. The same ShipReady Score measures delivery reliability, security posture, and lifecycle risk, so you can show the engineering organization behind the controls.
- Which frameworks does this page cover?
- HIPAA, HITRUST, and SOC 2, the three a healthcare buyer asks about most often. They are mapped onto one canonical control model, so evidence collected once counts toward each framework it applies to.
- Can we leave repositories out of scope?
- Yes. Repository scope is set once for the organization. Archived experiments, documentation, or anything else you exclude stays out of every score, so the result describes the software you actually ship.
