The problem
- A BAA does not prevent PHI exposure.Cloud model still processes raw patient data.
- Cloud provider logs your queries.PHI in vendor systems = HIPAA violation.
- One breach = massive liability.OCR fines up to $1.9M per violation category.
The solution
The model never sees PHI. Not once.
PHI tokenized at the edge. The model never sees patient data — not in transit, not in memory. Every request returns pii_matches and routed_to, giving you a complete OCR-ready audit trail from request one.
