HIPAA Security & Privacy Rule

A HIPAA policy generator that satisfies §164.316.

HIPAA doesn't just expect security policies — it requires documented, maintained, periodically reviewed ones. Charter generates your HIPAA Security and Privacy policies, maps each clause to its §164 citation, and tracks workforce attestation. In an afternoon, not a quarter.

What HIPAA §164.316 actually requires

The documentation standard is the legal hook most clinics miss — and the one Charter is built to satisfy.

§164.316(a)

Implement & document

You must maintain written policies and procedures to comply with the Security Rule. Charter generates them, fully filled in for your organization.

§164.316(b)(1)

Keep them for six years

Documentation must be retained for six years from creation or last-effective date. Charter's immutable version history is the retained record.

§164.316(b)(2)

Review & update periodically

Policies must be reviewed and updated as needed. Charter's review-cadence scheduler flags each policy when its review is due or overdue.

The HIPAA safeguards Charter covers

Administrative, physical and technical safeguards — generated with your clinic's details, mapped to the citation.

ADMIN

Administrative safeguards

Security Management, Workforce Security & Sanctions, Information Access Management, Security Awareness Training, Incident & Breach Response, Contingency / BC-DR, Business Associate management.

PHYSICAL

Physical safeguards

Facility Access Controls, Workstation Use & Security, Device and Media Controls, disposal and reuse of media holding ePHI.

Prove the workforce read them

HIPAA awareness and sanction requirements assume your people actually saw the policy. Charter records the proof.

"All workforce members are trained on security policies." — unverifiable
