PHI-grade AI belongs inside your own perimeter. PrivateStack Enterprise deploys Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, and other open-weight models into your own cloud environment: HIPAA-ready architecture, full audit trail, and PHI that never leaves your VPC.
Paste a patient case into ChatGPT and you've made an unauthorized disclosure. No exceptions, no gray area.
Every SaaS AI vendor that touches PHI becomes another business associate to paper, audit, and worry about.
Plan the evaluation
Synthetic example — not a customer story or measured result.
Draft a staff-facing administrative policy from fictional, PHI-free notes. Keep patient information out of the exercise and have a human review the draft.
Use this checklist to prepare your conversation. It is not evidence that a deployment passed review. Confirm current controls against the Trust Center and the configuration being proposed.
Review the healthcare vendor evidence checklistReview the questions for your team before choosing a workspace.
Fourteen checks for evaluating any AI vendor that will touch protected health information, built around tracing the full PHI path — prompts and uploads, inference, storage, embeddings and derived data, audit logs, and deletion at termination. Business-associate status first (including no-view services), satellite agreements down the subprocessor chain, the embeddings question competing checklists skip, and the 60-day breach-notification clocks of 45 CFR 164.404 and 164.410 — every item cited to the instrument's own text.
Zero retention and no training are separate promises on separate axes. A map of the eight planes a single AI request can leave content on, who controls each clock, and the question to ask a vendor about each.
A vendor security questionnaire built for AI: 21 questions across seven domains — data flow and subprocessors, retention and deletion, logging and export, isolation and deployment boundary, model and training use, incident response, access control. Per question: what a good answer looks like, required evidence, the red flag, a compensating control, and the contract clause. Score it in the browser or download the XLSX.
Open models running in your own cloud, with the logs and controls to prove it. We'll walk your team through the exact architecture.
