Harness AI to Achieve Continuous Compliance with 2026 Client-Side HIPPA Mandates

Healthcare organizations are entering a pivotal year for security and privacy. With expected updates to the HIPAA Security Rule in 2026, providers and their business associates will face heightened expectations for how they safeguard electronic protected health information (ePHI) - not just in core clinical systems, but across the modern digital perimeter - including websites and mobile applications.

This session unpacks what’s changing and what healthcare security and compliance leaders should prioritize now. We’ll start with a fast-moving risk area: tracking technologies on public-facing healthcare websites and patient portals, which can create pathways for impermissible disclosure of patient information when data is shared with third parties. From there, we’ll translate emerging requirements into a practical controls roadmap, including encryption, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and real-time monitoring for systems that store, transmit, or access ePHI.

Attendees will learn why “set-and-forget” vendor oversight no longer works. We’ll cover how to actively verify vendor compliance, what it means to expand the scope of Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), and how to operationalize accountability across marketing, digital, IT, and security teams.

Finally, we’ll provide ten critical steps organizations must take to prepare and explore the role AI-powered web and mobile app compliance solutions can play in automating discovery, continuously mapping data flows, and providing near real-time visibility into changes that affect HIPAA compliance. Participants will leave with a clear, actionable framework to reduce exposure, strengthen safeguards, and prepare confidently for 2026 and beyond.
