Does HIPAA Require a Password Manager?
While HIPAA law does not require a password manager, it does mandate that password management be a part of your HIPAA compliance plan.
Section 164.308(a)(5) of HIPAA requires “Procedures for creating, changing, and safeguarding passwords.” 164.312(a)(1) requires unique user identification, emergency access and automatic log off. 164.312(b) refers to audit controls, including activity logs.
How Keeper Protects the Healthcare Industry
Cybercriminals are targeting the healthcare industry with phishing campaigns and ransomware attacks that can adversely impact health information technology, medical records and patient safety.
Keeper is the ultimate cybersecurity and productivity application that protects every employee, whether they are remote or on-site, against password-related data breaches and cyber threats. Not only is Keeper easy for healthcare employees to use, but it makes it simple for them to comply with organisational password security policies.
Keeper automatically generates strong, unique passwords for each account, stores them in a secure vault that employees can access from any desktop or mobile device in any location, and auto-fills employee login credentials on all sites and apps.

Why Your Healthcare Organisation Needs a Password Manager
- Better Security
Keeper prevents password-related breaches and ransomware attacks by giving administrators total visibility into employee password practices with comprehensive reports and audits. Administrators can control employee password habits and enforce security policies such as the use of strong, unique passwords and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
-
Increased Productivity
With Keeper, employees will never lose or forget another password, saving them time and eliminating help desk password resets.
- Two-Factor Authentication
Keeper supports Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) including SMS, Keeper DNA® (smartwatch tap), TOTP (e.g. Google Authenticator and Authy), FIDO WebAuthn (e.g. YubiKey), Duo and RSA SecurID. With Keeper’s role-based controls, you’ll be able to enforce 2FA on any account to add an extra layer of security.
-
Email auto-provisioning
Provision Keeper Vaults to thousands of users with a domain match on email addresses. With minimum administration, large-scale deployment can be accomplished using an existing email channel or portal.
- HIPAA Compliance
Keeper is HIPAA compliant and can be leveraged by your organisation to securely store and share electronic Protected Health Information (PHI).
Keeper enables Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to enforce least-privilege policies. Folders and records can be securely shared and revoked. The vault of an employee that leaves can be automatically locked and securely transferred to another employee.
Access logs to Keeper Vaults can be audited for compliance or forensics. Keeper's zero-knowledge architecture ensures that only the end users have access to their Keeper Vaults. Because Keeper never has access to user data, a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is not required for HIPAA compliance.
