Healthcare & Life Sciences
HIPAA-ready AI security for every agent that touches patient data.
AI copilots in clinical workflows are accelerating care — and creating entirely new patient-data exposure surfaces. Guardra audits every prompt, memory write, and tool call for PHI compliance.
Threats we see in healthcare & life sciences
What goes wrong — and how Guardra stops it.
PHI in model context
Any patient identifier that enters an LLM context becomes a liability. Guardra catches PHI at the SDK ingestion layer, before it gets anywhere near a foundation model.
Unbounded EHR tool scopes
Agents with Epic / Cerner / Meditech tool access need per-patient, per-role scoping. Default-allow is a HIPAA breach waiting to happen.
Long-term memory of past patients
Conversational memory stores that persist across patients are cross-contamination incidents in waiting.

"Four minutes. That's how long it took Guardra to find something four pen-tests and two auditors had missed."
