Dedicated-infrastructure AI agents for companies answering to HIPAA and SOC 2.
If your customers, auditors, or regulators expect HIPAA-grade safeguards and SOC 2-style controls, a shared-cloud AI assistant is a hard conversation. Staffinity runs your agent on dedicated infrastructure — your own AWS account, your keys, your audit trail — so the conversation is short.
Why dedicated infrastructure changes the compliance answer
HIPAA's Security Rule and SOC 2's Trust Services Criteria both come down to demonstrable control: over who can access regulated data, where it lives, how it's protected, and what evidence exists. On a shared AI platform, half of those answers depend on a vendor's internal operations — things you can attest to only by trusting their paperwork.
When the AI agent runs in your own dedicated AWS account, the answers become structural. Isolation isn't a policy promise — it's an account boundary. Access control isn't a vendor feature — it's your Entra ID. The audit trail isn't in someone else's console — it's WORM-locked storage you own. That's why regulated mid-market companies choose dedicated infrastructure over another enterprise SaaS attestation.
What HIPAA- and SOC 2-conscious teams need — and what Staffinity provides
Isolation of regulated data
Dedicated AWS account per client — separate compute, databases, and client-specific KMS encryption keys (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit). No shared tenancy, no co-mingled data, at any layer of the stack.
Access control & least privilege
Role-based access enforced through your Microsoft Entra ID groups with per-user data scoping. Agents hold zero standing permissions — access is granted per session, scoped to the authenticated user's role.
Audit logging & evidence
Every agent interaction archived to WORM-compliant S3 Object Lock storage in COMPLIANCE mode with 6-year retention, sealed with a per-interaction HMAC for tamper detection — meeting SEC Rule 17a-4(f). The logs live in your account.
PHI safeguards (healthcare)
HIPAA-ready deployment option: PHI detection and redaction before storage, circuit-breaker controls, and Business Associate Agreements for covered entities and business associates.
Vendor accountability
Public DPA covering all clients, executed before any deployment begins. Full security posture published at trust.staffinity.io — certifications, AWS Well-Architected findings, and compliance timelines, no NDA required.
Threat detection & monitoring
AWS CloudTrail audit logging and GuardDuty threat detection across the deployment, container image scanning on every build, and automated failover with health checks on ECS Fargate.
Our own compliance posture, stated plainly
We hold CSA STAR Level 1 and CSA STAR for AI listings, passed an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review with zero high-risk findings, and are compliant with Anthropic's Zero Trust for AI Agents Foundation framework. Our SOC 2 audit is in progress — we're in the observation period, and we say so on our public trust page rather than claiming a certification we don't hold yet.
That transparency is the point. Companies that answer to HIPAA and SOC 2 know the difference between a certification, a readiness posture, and marketing language — and so do we. Everything we can evidence is published at trust.staffinity.io.
HIPAA & SOC 2 questions, answered
Can an AI agent handle PHI?
With the right architecture, yes. Staffinity's HIPAA-ready deployment option includes PHI detection and redaction before data is written to storage, circuit-breaker controls, and a Business Associate Agreement for covered entities and business associates. The agent runs in your dedicated AWS account, so PHI never touches shared vendor infrastructure. The option is activated per client after BAA execution.
Is Staffinity SOC 2 certified?
Not yet — and we publish that rather than claim it. Staffinity is in the SOC 2 observation period with controls monitored continuously via automated compliance tooling. In the meantime, our posture is independently evidenced: CSA STAR Level 1 and CSA STAR for AI listed, an AWS Well-Architected Framework Review with zero high-risk findings, and compliance with Anthropic's Zero Trust for AI Agents Foundation framework. The current status is always at trust.staffinity.io.
Do you sign Business Associate Agreements?
Yes. Business Associate Agreements are available for healthcare clients as part of the HIPAA-ready deployment option, executed before the deployment handles any PHI.
How is access to the agent controlled?
Access is enforced through your own Microsoft Entra ID groups with per-user data scoping configured in SSM. Agents hold zero standing permissions — access is granted per session and scoped to the authenticated user's role. Your existing identity policies govern who can use the agent and what data it can reach on their behalf.
