Log Monitoring HIPAA Compliance Software
Quickly fulfill reporting requirements with HIPAA compliance software
Analyze audit logs and access reports with HIPAA IT compliance software
HIPAA regulations require companies to regularly review all information system activities, including those within their audit logs and access reports, typically by using a Security Information & Event Management (SIEM) solution.
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) helps streamline this process by allowing you to forward audit logs from all of your applications, servers, network devices, routers, and beyond directly to its platform. Here, you can easily monitor and analyze real-time log data and report on system activity. Keeping everything housed in a single, easy-to-access location can help boost productivity and prevent the need to manually retrieve logs from individual systems.
Demonstrate HIPAA compliance efforts with ease
No single product will make you HIPAA compliant. When implementing software to help your organization be HIPAA compliant, make sure you understand the details of what you need to collect and how you need to report it.
SolarWinds SEM provides hundreds of built-in, out-of-the-box reporting templates designed to be customized to a specific department or recipient, designed to allow you to demonstrate HIPAA compliance requirements with ease. Collecting data from all required devices for reporting purposes is also a straightforward task with Security Event Manager. Simply install an agent on the servers from which you need to collect logs, or configure the device to send syslog data. Then, configure a connector to log and store exactly what you need. Each report supports detailed forensic analyses designed to be displayed graphically and in an easy-to-understand format, helping to enhance your data security.
Accelerate your response to security threats
Security Event Manager features built-in Active Response technology to automate threat remediation and incident response in real time. This technology can be leveraged to lock IPs, change privileges, disable accounts, block USB devices, terminate applications, and more.
With hundreds of built-in correlation rules and powerful file integrity monitoring, SEM is designed to enable the easy analysis of event logs for a range of malicious system activities, including insider threats, zero-day malware, ransomware, spear phishing, botnets, SQL injections, DDoS attacks, and other advanced threats.
The compliance tool features in SEM are designed to provide you with the in-depth security intelligence needed to stop cybersecurity threats in their tracks and ensure the privacy and security of your data, so you remain HIPAA compliant.

Some common FAQs are…
As the healthcare industry evolves at a rapid rate, many technological advancements have emerged to store and transfer patient data. In tandem with the development of these technologies over the past few decades, numerous new policies have emerged to maintain the integrity of health records, protect them from looming hackers or accidental data leaks, and regulate who has access to this information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is one such policy.
Established by Congress in 1996, HIPAA oversees the handling of highly sensitive patient data, including how it is stored, transferred, and updated. This healthcare compliance applies to a range of digital formats, including syslog, custom application logs, XML, and HL7. HIPAA consists of two rules—the Privacy Rule and the Security Rule—which together outline how all Protected Health Information (PHI) should be handled amidst this digital revolution. If not met to the highest extent—even if unintentionally—HIPAA officials will face large fines. Legally, financially, and morally, IT departments must understand the nuances of HIPAA or risk facing severe consequences. In fact, HIPAA fines can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars, and even millions, depending on the severity of the violation.
