Your Website is Broadcasting Patient Data to 47 Ad Networks Right Now
If you're a healthcare CMO watching Google Analytics track PHI while your compliance team sleeps, you've inherited a liability landmine.
We build HIPAA-compliant websites and patient portals with security designed in from the start -- not patched in after launch.
Your intake form fires. Patient name, email, appointment reason hit the server -- then a tracking pixel sends that same session ID to a marketing platform with no BAA. HIPAA-compliant website development stops PHI from reaching vendors who can't legally touch it. Your architecture needs encrypted transmission, BAA-covered hosting, session management with auto-timeout, audit logging on every data access, and PHI minimization baked into form design. It's not a plugin. It's infrastructure: Next.js frontends with sub-second loads, server-side validation that never exposes data client-side, headless CMS with publishing governance, and API bridges to Epic or Cerner that encrypt every byte in transit. Most healthcare sites fail before a single patient books -- because compliance wasn't in the blueprint.
Your Current Site May Be a Liability
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
What Your Website Could Look Like
Custom-designed for your industry. No templates. No stock photos.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
End-to-End Encryption
We use 256-bit AES encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Every database field containing PHI gets encrypted at the application layer -- not just at the disk level.
Business Associate Agreements
We execute and manage BAAs with every vendor in your stack: hosting, analytics, email, CMS, and payment processors. No exceptions, no gaps.
HIPAA-Compliant Analytics
Google Analytics goes. We replace it with Piwik PRO or an equivalent platform that signs a BAA and never routes PHI to non-compliant third parties. You still get full event tracking -- you just don't get the compliance risk that comes with it.
Comprehensive Audit Logging
Every login, data access event, form submission, and admin change gets logged with timestamps and user attribution. Logs are immutable and retained according to your retention policy.
Role-Based Access Controls
Granular permissions mean staff only see the PHI their role actually requires. Multi-factor authentication is enforced across all admin and clinical accounts -- no exceptions.
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
We run continuous security monitoring with automated dependency updates, penetration testing, and real-time alerting on suspicious access patterns.
What We Build
Purpose-built features for your industry.
Build authenticated patient portals with session expiry, role-based access control, and encrypted record retrieval
Your patients schedule, message, and pay bills inside a portal that auto-locks after inactivity and logs every access
Design intake forms that collect only visit-required fields and validate server-side before database commit
Your intake workflow collects the minimum PHI needed, validates in real time, and never touches a non-compliant third party
Integrate telehealth video through BAA-covered providers with encrypted session logs and automated visit summaries
Your telehealth visits run on infrastructure covered by a signed BAA, with session transcripts stored in encrypted databases
Connect EHR/EMR systems via HL7 FHIR and REST APIs with retry logic and end-to-end encryption
Your practice pulls appointment data, lab results, and medication lists from Epic or Athenahealth without manual CSV imports
Deploy WCAG 2.1 AA accessible interfaces on Next.js for sub-second patient-facing load times
Your site loads in under a second on mobile, meets accessibility standards, and keeps patients from bouncing mid-booking
Provision headless CMS with approval workflows and version control that prevent accidental PHI publication
Your content team publishes updates through governed workflows that block PHI from going live without clinical review
Built on a Modern, Secure Stack
Our Development Process
From discovery to launch. Quality at every step.
Compliance Audit & Architecture
Week 1-2Here's how a project actually runs. We start by auditing your current digital footprint -- analytics, forms, hosting, third-party scripts -- and documenting where the violations are. Then we design a compliant architecture with hosting providers that offer BAAs, encrypted database schemas, and a vetted vendor stack.
Secure Development
Week 3-6Build phase: input validation on all external data, output encoding to prevent injection attacks, encrypted API integrations, and audit logging built into every operation. Security isn't something we add at the end.
Compliance Validation & Penetration Testing
Week 7-8Before launch, we run systematic verification of encryption implementation, audit log completeness, BAA coverage, and access controls. Third-party penetration testing confirms the architecture holds under real attack conditions -- not just in theory.
Deployment & BAA Finalization
Week 9Production deployment goes to HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with all BAAs executed and documented. Performance testing ensures the security controls don't degrade under real patient traffic.
Ongoing Compliance Maintenance
OngoingAfter launch: monthly security patches, quarterly compliance reviews, annual penetration testing, and documentation updates as regulations change. Your compliance posture doesn't get set and forgotten.
