Healthcare AI Risks

What Makes Healthcare AI Different

Healthcare organisations face unique AI security risks: PHI in prompts, clinical AI decision support, and a regulatory environment that is rapidly adding AI-specific requirements.

🏥

PHI Protection

Kovral's DLP engine classifies 15+ categories of Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA — names, dates, geographic data, SSNs, medical record numbers, and more — and prevents it from reaching unsanctioned AI models.

🩺

Clinical AI Governance

Clinical decision support AI is subject to FDA oversight and HIPAA. Kovral provides the monitoring, logging, and policy enforcement for clinical AI systems.

📋

HIPAA Compliance

Kovral signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with covered entities, providing the contractual framework required for HIPAA compliance when PHI transits Kovral's infrastructure.

🔍

Shadow AI in Clinical Settings

Clinicians are early AI adopters. Kovral discovers and governs every AI tool in use across your clinical and administrative workforce — including specialty-specific AI tools that generic shadow IT tools miss.

FAQ

Common Questions

Yes. Kovral provides a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to all healthcare customers. The BAA covers Kovral's processing of PHI that transits the inspection proxy and is stored in forensic logging. Kovral's infrastructure is HIPAA-eligible: data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), access is controlled via role-based access, and audit logs are maintained for a minimum of 6 years in accordance with HIPAA retention requirements.

Kovral's DLP engine detects PHI in prompts before they reach the AI model, with configurable actions: block (reject the prompt), redact (replace PHI with a de-identified token and forward the cleaned prompt), or log (allow but create an audit record). Redaction preserves the semantic meaning of the prompt while removing identifying information — enabling AI-assisted clinical workflows without HIPAA risk. The redaction log maintains the mapping between tokens and original values, accessible only to authorised personnel.

AI/ML-based Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) is subject to FDA oversight under the 2021 Action Plan for AI/ML-based SaMD. While Kovral is not itself an FDA-regulated product, it provides monitoring capabilities that support FDA requirements for post-market surveillance: logging AI system inputs and outputs, detecting performance drift, and maintaining the audit trail required for FDA investigations. Kovral works alongside your FDA regulatory function, not as a replacement.
