The two controls that have neutralised the most 2026 settlements — and the most breaches — are MFA on identity and periodic review of the logs you already collect. MFA & Logging tracks posture, cadence, and evidence of review across the ePHI footprint.
What it does
- Records MFA state per workforce member and per privileged system, with phishing-resistant status flagged.
- Captures audit log sources, retention, and the scheduled review cadence per system.
- Attests to each log review with a reviewer, a date, and anomalies-of-note.
- Reports MFA coverage gaps and overdue log reviews on the dashboard.
How it maps to HIPAA
The feature supports §164.312(a)(2)(i) (unique user ID), §164.312(d) (person or entity authentication), §164.312(b) (audit controls), and §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D) (information system activity review). The proposed Security Rule (RIN 0945-AA22) elevates MFA from addressable to required.
Where it fits
MFA & Logging sits in the Security module with Access Control and Encryption as paired technical safeguards.
