Organisation-level requirements

Policies, people, vendors, physical security and the like, listed below.Toevan gives supporting evidence for 2 of these.Managed by your organisation’s workflows

The Security Rule’s technical safeguards and parts of the Privacy Rule are visible in code: access control, integrity, authentication, transmission security and how protected health information is used and disclosed.

The HIPAA blueprint gives code evidence for these on every pull request. Administrative and physical safeguards stay with your programme.

Toevan gives evidence for controls; it never certifies them or claims a framework is covered. Whether the evidence is sufficient is your auditor’s judgement.

Code evidence7

Sealed on every pull request. Always partial: the control also asks for things outside code. Rules in the HIPAA blueprint check part of each on every pull request.

Supporting2

Toevan records related evidence, but the duty is organisational, so it never counts as covered.

  • 164.310(d)(1)Device and media controls164.310 Physical safeguardsSupporting evidence: a rule records evidence related to this duty. The duty itself is physical security.

Can be evidenced from code or GitHub. No rule checks these yet; each is planned, and none counts as evidence today.

Organisation-level requirements

Organisation-level controls (policies, people, vendors, physical security and the like) stay with your organisation’s own process; Toevan does not cover them.

Using it in an audit

  1. Read the code evidence for the period

    Each pull request carries sealed code results against the blueprint’s rules, pinned to the commit and the rule-set version in force.

  2. Test a sample

    For each sampled record, check its results, then verify it offline against the published key with openssl and the shell: get the evidence, confirm the key, check the record. To replay the whole chain, Toevan provides the toevan command on request; it is not yet public.

    The three steps, with the exact commands

How each fact was obtained6 labels
Recomputed
Toevan computed it from the code or git history itself.
Reported + sealed
GitHub reported it; Toevan captured it at the event and signed it.
Declared + sealed
The organisation declared it, such as a change to what is checked; Toevan signed the declaration and its history.
Toevan record, not sealed
Held in Toevan’s database but not sealed in the ledger, such as a waiver today. Nothing protects it by a signature.
Consumed
Taken from GitHub’s deployment and release records and linked by commit or digest.
Not captured
No reliable source was available. Toevan does not infer it.
