How Zapare Ensures Secure Healthcare Operations Across Borders

As healthcare organizations increasingly adopt global delivery models, ensuring HIPAA compliance across offshore operations has become a critical priority. At Zapare Technologies Pvt. Ltd., offshore delivery does not mean compromised security. It means disciplined governance, robust controls, and international-grade compliance standards.


 

Understanding HIPAA in an Offshore Context

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates strict safeguards to protect Protected Health Information (PHI). While HIPAA is a US regulation, its requirements extend to any organization—domestic or international—that handles PHI on behalf of a Covered Entity or Business Associate.

Offshore healthcare service providers must demonstrate that their people, processes, and technology meet HIPAA’s Administrative, Physical, and Technical Safeguards—without exception.


 

Common Security Concerns in Offshore Healthcare Operations

Healthcare organizations often raise concerns when considering offshore partners, including:

  • Unauthorized access to PHI
  • Inadequate employee screening and training
  • Weak access controls and monitoring
  • Lack of audit readiness
  • Insufficient incident response mechanisms

Zapare addresses these concerns through a compliance-first offshore delivery model.


 

Zapare’s HIPAA-Compliant Offshore Security Framework

🔐 Administrative Safeguards

  • Documented HIPAA policies and procedures
  • Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)
  • Mandatory HIPAA and data privacy training
  • Defined incident response and breach notification processes

🖥️ Technical Safeguards

  • Role-based access control and least-privilege enforcement
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Secure system access with activity logging
  • Encryption of PHI in transit and at rest

🏢 Physical Safeguards

  • Controlled office access with visitor management
  • Restricted work areas for healthcare operations

SOC 2 Type II: Strengthening HIPAA Controls

  • Continuous monitoring of access and activity
  • Evidence-based compliance through audit trails

  • Ongoing validation of security effectiveness

This dual-compliance approach provides clients with greater assurance and transparency.
