🛡️ HIPAA Compliance Tip: Lock Down Your APIs

APIs are the connective tissue of modern web apps—but in healthcare, they’re also a potential attack surface. If not properly secured, APIs can expose Protected Health Information (PHI) via insecure endpoints, lax access controls, or poor session management.

🔐 What to do:

• Implement OAuth 2.0 or JWT for token-based authentication—never rely on basic auth or session IDs.

• Enforce TLS 1.2+ for all API traffic to prevent data leakage in transit.

• Enable audit logging on all API calls, and review logs routinely to flag unauthorized access attempts.

APIs power your features—but without proper safeguards, they can also power a breach. Treat them as critical infrastructure.
