Cymbiose AI — HIPAA-Aligned Security Practice Statement

Date: October 1, 2025

1. Our Operating Standard

Cymbiose AI follows the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule, HIPAA Privacy Rule, and HIPAA Breach Notification Rule. We operate under documented administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Protected Health Information (PHI). We demonstrate compliance by maintaining documented controls, monitoring, evidence, and continuous improvement across our security program.

2. Best-Practice Implementation Approach

Cymbiose AI implements HIPAA safeguards using a best-practice methodology supported by proven cybersecurity frameworks. HIPAA defines the regulatory foundation; we reinforce it with modern security engineering standards.

We align our practices with:

  • HIPAA best practices for administrative, technical, and physical safeguards
  • CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS v8.1)
  • CIS Benchmarks for secure configuration
  • CIS Implementation Groups for prioritized, risk-based control adoption
