Audit: HIPAA filter — validate Security Rule-to-800-53 mappings #26

Description

@aanishs

What

Independent audit of nist/hipaa-filter.json — verify that each HIPAA Security Rule implementation specification correctly maps to the right NIST 800-53 controls.

Why

This filter was created by an AI interpreting SP 800-66 Rev. 2 and the NIST CPRT tool. It needs review by someone who actually knows HIPAA — a compliance officer, a healthcare attorney, or an engineer who's been through a HIPAA audit.

What to audit

The file is nist/hipaa-filter.json (~60 lines). For each mapping:

  1. Is the HIPAA spec ID correct? (164.312(a)(1), 164.308(a)(4), etc.)
  2. Are the right 800-53 controls mapped?
  3. Are required vs addressable specs handled correctly?
  4. Are any mappings missing from SP 800-66r2?

How to contribute

  1. Read nist/hipaa-filter.json
  2. Cross-reference against SP 800-66 Rev. 2 and NIST CPRT
  3. Open a PR with corrections, or comment with findings
  4. Test: bin/comply-db init --framework hipaa

Current state

52 HIPAA specs → 50 unique 800-53 controls. Source: SP 800-66r2 + NIST CPRT.

Who should review

  • HIPAA compliance officers or auditors
  • Healthcare attorneys familiar with the Security Rule
  • Engineers who've completed a HIPAA audit
