HIPAA CI/CD vs SOC 2 CI/CD: where the controls differ
The article discusses the differences between HIPAA CI/CD and SOC 2 CI/CD, emphasizing that SOC 2 focuses on policies while HIPAA requires a system that produces evidence of compliance. It highlights a case where a healthcare engineering team faced control gaps despite having SOC 2 certification when they attempted to comply with HIPAA regulations. The author explains that the gap between the two frameworks necessitates significant changes in the CI/CD pipeline to meet HIPAA's requirements.
- ▪SOC 2 audits the policies chosen by an organization, while HIPAA audits the system built to handle protected health information.
- ▪A healthcare engineering team discovered fourteen control gaps after assuming their SOC 2 compliance would suffice for HIPAA requirements.
- ▪The article outlines that HIPAA's Security Rule is a federal regulation that does not allow for scoping out of its requirements.

SOC 2 audits the policies you chose. HIPAA audits the system you built. At the CI/CD layer, that distinction stops being abstract and starts producing engineering work.
