HIPAA, FTC, or state law which one actually governs your health data?

Most digital health startups assume they're either fully HIPAA-bound or not regulated at all. Usually it's neither. MontegoFern Health maps which rules truly apply to you, then serves as your fractional privacy officer to keep you compliant whichever regime you're in.

The Problem

Most Digital Health Startups Have a
Compliance Gap They Don't Know About

You're building something important. But HIPAA doesn't wait for product-market fit.

No Named Privacy Officer

If HIPAA applies to you, it requires a named Privacy Officer, and not having one is a gap in itself, the kind auditors, investors, and hospital partners flag." Accurate, still urgent, and it doesn't fight your hero

Compliance Shouldn't Cost You a Hire

Early-stage founders shouldn't have to choose between building their product and staying legally compliant. A full-time Privacy Officer is a Year 3 problem. The compliance requirement is right now

Compliant. Documented. Defensible.

From day one you have a named Privacy Officer on file, a completed risk assessment, and a policy library built for your specific product. Everything a hospital, investor, or auditor will ask for — ready before they ask.

When Clients Call

Five Moments That Make HIPAA Compliance Urgent

Most companies don't think about compliance until something forces the issue. These are the five most common triggers.

BAA Landed in Your Inbox

A vendor sent a Business Associate Agreement. You're not sure if it's acceptable or what to do next.

Investor Due Diligence

Your Series A lead just asked about your compliance program and you don't have a clear answer.

Healthcare Accelerator

You were accepted and they require demonstrated HIPAA compliance before the program starts.

OCR Complaint or Incident

A complaint was filed or a data incident occurred. You need a Privacy Officer named immediately.

Enterprise Vendor Qualification

A large health system needs to qualify you as a vendor. Their security questionnaire just arrived.
