System · AI Compliance Copilot
Ask HIPAA questions. Without your data leaving the perimeter.
PIPAA runs on Patient Protect's secure inference layer — or on air-gapped hardware at your practice. No third-party cloud LLM. Architectural compliance, not asserted.
HIPAA mapping
What this satisfies in the Security Rule.
4 citations, each with the specific AI Compliance Copilot behavior that satisfies it. The mapping is the receipt — what you can show an auditor without assembling anything new.
§164.502(a)Uses and disclosures of PHI
No PHI is disclosed to a third party because no PHI ever leaves your perimeter. Cloud-based AI assistants cannot make this claim.
§164.514(a)De-identification standard
PIPAA does not require de-identification before processing because processing happens locally. The de-identification gymnastics that govern cloud-AI-with-PHI workflows do not apply.
§164.312(a)(1)Access control
PIPAA respects your workforce role configuration. The Copilot answers within the scope the asking workforce member is authorized for.
§164.308(a)(4)Information access management
PIPAA's access patterns are logged in the same audit trail as every other PHI interaction.
What it does
The AI question, answered architecturally.
Every other “HIPAA AI” sends your prompt to a third-party cloud model — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google. Your question (which usually contains the patient context that makes it worth asking) leaves your environment, gets processed by a third party, and may be retained for training. That is not HIPAA-compliant. It cannot be made HIPAA-compliant by policy.
PIPAA solves this with architecture, not policy. Production PIPAA runs in two modes — both keep your prompts away from any third-party cloud LLM: PIPAA Cloud runs on Patient Protect's HIPAA-compliant inference infrastructure (PHI never leaves the PP perimeter, never touches OpenAI or Anthropic), and PIPAA Air-Gapped runs on hardware deployed at your office (PHI never leaves your network at all).
Ask the Copilot a compliance question in plain English. It answers with reference to your actual configuration — your SRA, your policies, your workforce, your audit history — and cites both the regulatory text and the platform records that informed the answer. When the Copilot doesn't know, it says so. It does not hallucinate citations.
How it works
5 mechanisms keep AI Compliance Copilot working.
Two deployment modes — both keep PHI away from third-party LLMs.
PIPAA Cloud runs on Patient Protect's secure inference infrastructure: your prompts and data stay inside the PP perimeter, never traverse OpenAI / Anthropic / Google. PIPAA Air-Gapped runs on a Mac Mini M-series (or compatible) deployed at your office: zero outbound network, zero third-party calls. Pick the mode that matches your governance bar — both are architecturally HIPAA-compliant.
Retrieval over your platform data.
The Copilot retrieves from your live Patient Protect data when answering. SRA responses, policy text, workforce records, audit events, BAA states — all are accessible to the Copilot within the role scope of the asking member. The answer is grounded in your reality, not generic HIPAA advice.
CFR-grounded citations.
Every regulatory claim is cited with a § reference. The Copilot will not assert a HIPAA requirement without the citation. When the citation is contested or evolving, the Copilot says so.
Role-scoped responses.
The Copilot respects role permissions. A Medical Care Staff member asking about workforce records gets a different answer than the Office Administrator asking the same question. The model cannot show what the requester is not authorized to see.
Audit trail integration.
Every Copilot interaction is logged in the Personnel ePHI Audit when PHI is involved in the query. The audit shows the question, the role, the timestamp, and a hash of the response. Useful both for regulatory documentation and for office governance of AI use.
Who this is for
Built for the practices that need it most.
Practices that have ruled out cloud AI for compliance reasons.
If your compliance team or counsel has said no to ChatGPT, no to Claude.ai for clinical contexts, no to “we'll use the API with a BAA” — PIPAA is the answer that doesn't require trusting the provider, because the provider isn't in the loop.
Practices that want AI without the AI risk.
Cloud AI assistants are getting capable enough that workforce members will use them with or without office sanction. The shadow AI risk in healthcare is meaningful. PIPAA gives the workforce a sanctioned tool that's actually compliant — reducing the incentive for unsanctioned alternatives.
Specialty practices with high-sensitivity data.
Behavioral health, substance use, reproductive health, HIV care, and similar sectors operate under additional confidentiality restrictions (42 CFR Part 2 in some cases). The cloud-AI compliance gap is widest here. PIPAA's local architecture is particularly well-fit for these contexts.

No module is an island.
AI Compliance Copilotworks because it's connected. Every signal feeds another module; every closure becomes evidence somewhere else.

5outcomes you'll feel in week one.
Zero PHI exposure to cloud AI providers.
No prompts leave your perimeter. No data is available for training.
Plain-English access to your compliance state.
Workforce members get answers without learning the platform's UI inside out.
CFR-cited responses.
Every regulatory claim is citation-backed. The Copilot will not bluff.
Sanctioned alternative to shadow AI.
Reduces the workforce pull toward non-compliant tools.
Architectural compliance, not asserted.
Compliance is verifiable in the deployment topology, not in a vendor BAA. Auditors see exactly where data goes — and where it doesn't.
