What does HIPAA-aligned website engineering mean?

HIPAA-aligned website engineering means designing a site and its workflows with privacy, security, access control, logging and human-oversight safeguards in mind, so a covered entity or business associate can meet its own obligations. It is not a certification: Oruanyi does not certify clients, become their covered entity or guarantee compliance. Final obligations depend on the client’s role and legal advice.

What it covers

  • No protected health information on public forms: sensitive workflows are scoped separately.
  • Role-based access, audit logging and clear approval boundaries in the system that is built.
  • Human oversight on decisions that affect patients or members.
  • A business associate agreement, where the client’s role requires one, before any sensitive workflow begins.

What it does not mean

  • It is not a HIPAA certification. HHS does not endorse or recognize private “HIPAA certification” programs.
  • Oruanyi does not become the client’s covered entity and does not guarantee the client’s compliance.
  • Design language on a website is not legal advice; obligations depend on the organization’s role.

How Oruanyi scopes it

Discovery ($2,000 kickoff + $500/month keep-alive) records whether regulated data is involved and keeps it off public channels. Engine ($24,500–$48,000 one-time) builds HIPAA-aligned boundaries, audit logging, role-based access and CI/CD inside the client environment.
