Aelix Shield, HIPAA compliance automation
HIPAA compliance,
always audit-ready.
HIPAA compliance automation for hospitals. Aelix Shield maps your systems to the HIPAA Security Rule, logs PHI access, runs access reviews, and generates audit-ready evidence on demand, with security monitoring and zero trust controls feeding the same audit trail.
Designed to support HIPAA · SOC 2-aligned controls · Zero trust by default

Agents that evidence compliance, triage alerts, and respond. Patient-safety gates always in code.
Healthcare compliance teams chase audit evidence by hand while security teams drown in alerts. Aelix Shield agents generate continuous HIPAA evidence, answer access and posture questions in plain language, triage the alert firehose, and walk an incident from detection to contained. Any action that could affect a patient is gated by a hard, code-level safety check. Not a prompt. The model is never the sole authority to disconnect a clinical device.
Evidence Agent.
Continuously maps system state to HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, drafts the audit-ready report, and points to the source artifact behind every claim. Posture changes (forcing MFA enrollment, deprovisioning, timeout changes) are drafted, never auto-executed.
Ask Aelix.
Natural-language Q&A over the appliance: which devices are missing MFA, lateral-movement events on the ICU VLAN this week, current HIPAA safeguard status. Strictly read-only. RBAC enforced at the tool layer, not the prompt. The agent physically cannot query data the user’s role forbids.
Triage Copilot.
Triages the alert firehose, enriches with device context and threat-intel, suppresses known-benign patterns, and writes a verdict with rationale to the queue. Auto-close runs only within a tenant-tuned allowlist of benign signatures. Anything touching a life-sustaining device class is never auto-closed.
IR Copilot.
On a confirmed incident, assembles the full picture (affected device, clinical impact, lateral-movement map, threat-intel attribution, blast radius) and proposes a containment plan. Autonomous enforcement is restricted to non-clinical, single-device, reversible actions on an allowlist. A code-level clinical-safety interlock blocks any enforcement that targets a moderate or high clinical-risk device unless a human confirmation token is present.
Threat Hunter.
Proactively hunts for stealthy patterns that signature detection misses: slow lateral movement, low-and-slow DICOM or HL7 exfiltration, beaconing, APT-pattern reconnaissance. Strictly read-only. Findings promote into the supervised enforcement queue. The hunter cannot quarantine.
Rule Smith.
Reviews recurring missed and false-positive patterns and drafts new detection rules and tuning. Drafts only. Every rule is human-reviewed, staged-tested against historical traffic, and deployed through normal change control. No rule ships through the agent.
Patient-safety interlock in code, not in a prompt.
Any enforcement tool call targeting a moderate or high clinical-risk device fails closed unless a human confirmation token is present. The biomed-engineer-at-bedside rule applies, the same as for human-initiated isolations. The model is never the sole authority to disconnect a clinical device.
Attacker-controlled telemetry is data, never instructions.
Alert payloads (URLs, hostnames, file paths, attribution hints) are delimited as untrusted data. A poisoned alert cannot invoke a tool by itself. Schema-validated tool input and output. No free-form database query.
Read-only by default. Mutating tools are gated.
Read tools run automatically. The handful of mutating tools (port quarantine, firewall block, posture change) are dedicated, allowlisted, rate-limited, and require either a code-level allowlist match or a human approval token.
Degrades to manual workflows.
If the reasoning model is unavailable, agentic features disable cleanly. The existing manual quarantine, manual evidence collection, and manual triage workflows remain unchanged. Agents are an enhancement, never a dependency.
The reality in healthcare
HIPAA audits and PHI exposure demand a new defense.
Audit anxiety.
Preparing for a HIPAA audit consumes weeks of manual IT and compliance labor, pulling evidence from systems that were never built to produce it.
Ransomware attacks.
Ransomware that halts patient care keeps targeting hospitals, and every incident becomes a compliance event.
Cloud vulnerabilities.
Migrating PHI to the cloud without continuous monitoring exposes patient data.
What Shield does
Automated HIPAA compliance reporting.
Simplify healthcare audit readiness. Aelix Shield automatically logs access controls, runs access reviews, and generates audit-ready HIPAA evidence packets on demand, each pointing to the source artifact behind every claim.
Zero trust architecture.
Never trust, always verify. Shield continuously authenticates every user, device, and application attempting to access your network, limiting lateral movement from cyber threats.
Cloud and AI data protection.
Adopt cloud and AI securely. Continuous threat intelligence monitors your cloud environments and flags anomalies before they become breaches.
The human factor
Building a culture of cyber vigilance.
Technology alone cannot stop a breach. Aelix Shield combines enterprise-grade zero trust software with automated phish testing and staff training modules, so your entire organization is aligned against the top 5 cybersecurity threats.
Enterprise-grade zero trust software
Every user, device, and application is verified before it reaches PHI.
Automated phish testing and training
Simulated phishing campaigns and short training modules, tracked per staff member.
Organization-wide cyber alignment
Training completion and policy attestations roll into the same HIPAA evidence record.
