HIPAA for Indian Companies, Answered Directly
Tranquility Cybersecurity (TCSA) helps Indian healthcare IT, medical BPO, and analytics companies that handle US Protected Health Information become HIPAA compliant — a complete HIPAA Security Risk Assessment (SRA) plus remediation support at an indicative fee of ₹1.5–4 lakh, typically delivered in 4–6 weeks. TCSA has completed 1,000+ audits for clients across India, USA, UK, Australia and UAE. Every engagement is led by named auditors — Surendra Pal Singh (CISO, DPO, CISA, ISO 27701 Lead Auditor) and Saundhi Chauhan (ISO 27001, ISO 27701 & ISO 42001 Lead Auditor) — see our audit track record.
Key Takeaways
- Indian companies that create, receive, store, or transmit US PHI are business associates under HIPAA — US clients will require a signed BAA and proof of Security Rule compliance.
- TCSA's HIPAA SRA + remediation engagement costs an indicative ₹1.5–4 lakh and typically completes in 4–6 weeks.
- HIPAA has no government-issued certificate — compliance is demonstrated through a current SRA, implemented safeguards, policies, and training records.
- The Security Rule applies directly to Indian business associates and is enforceable by the US HHS OCR, while the Privacy Rule reaches you through your BAA obligations.
- PHI can be hosted on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud — provided you sign the provider's BAA and configure the HIPAA-eligible services correctly.

Privacy Rule vs Security Rule: What Applies to You
How each HIPAA rule reaches an Indian business associate — and exactly what TCSA delivers against it
| HIPAA Rule | What It Covers | How It Applies in India | What TCSA Delivers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Privacy Rule | Permitted uses and disclosures of PHI, the minimum-necessary standard, and patient rights such as access, amendment, and accounting of disclosures | Reaches Indian companies through the Business Associate Agreement — you may only use or disclose PHI as the agreement and the Rule permit | PHI-handling policies, minimum-necessary workflows, patient-rights procedures, and BAA review and negotiation support |
| Security Rule | Administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic PHI (ePHI) — risk analysis, access control, encryption, audit logging, contingency planning | Applies directly to Indian business associates and is enforceable against them by the US HHS Office for Civil Rights (OCR) | Full Security Risk Assessment (SRA), risk-treatment plan, safeguard implementation, and an audit-ready evidence pack |
| Breach Notification Rule | Breach risk assessment and notification duties to covered entities, affected individuals, and HHS within defined timelines | Business associates must notify the covered entity of a breach without unreasonable delay, and no later than 60 days after discovery | Incident-response plan, breach-assessment playbook, notification templates, and tabletop exercises |

In their words.
Quotes verbatim from G2. Company names added where the client confirmed them.
Instead of simply providing generic templates or checklists, their team took the time to understand our environment and requirements.
The team’s willingness to work with us and ease of communication.
They delivered the project with speed, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness.
My only regret is that we didn’t engage them sooner in our compliance journey, which would have saved us even more time.
They were always responsive and willing to go the extra mile whenever we had questions or needed guidance.
Managing the auditor relationship on our behalf was especially valuable — it took a lot of pressure off our internal team.
Their focus on ensuring that we were genuinely audit-ready rather than simply completing documentation.
The guidance was not generic or simply based on a standard checklist — they suggested practical approaches that made sense for our business.
What I like best is the hands-on support and clear guidance throughout the SOC 1 and SOC 2 process.
