HIPAA evidence should build itself. Not scramble itself.
One governed system. Five frameworks covered. No pre-audit sprint.
HIPAA risk analysis is manually assembled. BAA security posture is reconstructed pre-audit. EU CRA SBOM is a new obligation most compliance teams have not yet operationalized. GDPR DPIA documentation is a spreadsheet.
X-DLM™ makes all of it a byproduct of how your engineering team already works — not an emergency before every audit cycle.

OCR is actively enforcing HIPAA against healthcare software vendors. Evidence assembled under audit pressure is not the same as evidence that demonstrates ongoing compliance.

Five compliance obligations. One governed workflow that produces evidence for all of them.
- 01
HIPAA Security Rule §164.308 risk analysis — continuously maintained
HIPAA Security Rule §164.308(a)(1) requires ongoing, not periodic, risk analysis of threats to ePHI. X-DLM™ routes every Black Duck vulnerability finding through a Polarion risk management workflow — PHI impact assessment, likelihood and magnitude scoring, documented risk acceptance or remediation decision, and ongoing monitoring evidence. OCR audit evidence builds as engineering operates, not during audit preparation.
- 02
Business Associate Agreement security posture documentation
Healthcare software companies operating as Business Associates must demonstrate HIPAA Security Rule safeguard implementation to their covered entity customers. X-DLM™ maintains continuous Polarion records of vulnerability governance, PHI risk management, access control, and security incident response — producing the BAA compliance evidence covered entities require in contract reviews and security assessments.
- 03
EU CRA SBOM and vulnerability reporting compliance
EU CRA requires healthcare software products placed on the EU market to maintain machine-readable SBOM documentation and execute 24-hour exploited vulnerability reporting from September 2026. Black Duck generates the SBOM. X-DLM™ version-controls it in Polarion with vulnerability decisions and release records. The CRA evidence package is available for market surveillance authority inspection on demand — not assembled under regulatory pressure.
- 04
GDPR Article 9 health data — DPIA and privacy-by-design evidence
GDPR classifies health data as special category data under Article 9 — requiring explicit lawful basis, Data Protection Impact Assessment for high-risk processing, and evidence of technical and organizational measures. Polarion links GDPR-relevant design decisions and privacy engineering controls to requirements traceability — producing the Article 25 privacy-by-design evidence healthcare data processing regulators and hospital DPOs require.

Black Duck Software Composition Analysis
Black Duck identifies open source and third-party components across source, binaries, containers, firmware, snippets, AI-generated code, and C/C++ environments without package managers.
Healthcare software companies answer to five simultaneous regulatory frameworks — and third-party vendors were involved in over 80% of successful healthcare data breaches.
HIPAA governs every healthcare software company touching PHI as a Business Associate. EU CRA governs your EHR and clinical software as Products with Digital Elements from September 2026. GDPR and EHDS govern your EU patient data processing. NIS2 governs your hospital customers as Essential Entities — and their software supply chain is your evidence obligation. Black Duck identifies the open source risk. Polarion governs the response. X-DLM™ produces the evidence.
