Scanned documents are where PHI hides from traditional DLP. Learn how OCR-powered classification finds patient data in PDFs, images, and faxes that text-based tools miss completely.
PE firms are rolling up physician practices at record pace. Most have no idea what PHI is hiding in those legacy systems. Here is what to look for—and where.
Most breached PHI was in places nobody inventoried—forgotten file servers, legacy backups, shadow IT. HIPAA-covered entities need to scan beyond clinical systems before OCR asks where patient data actually lived.

We just solved one of the hardest problems in healthcare data — ICD-10 detection. 70,000+ codes, inconsistent formats, and regex rules that break the moment context changes.
Before building Inspect-Data, I worked in large enterprises securing data. If back then I had a Docker container that could identify patient names near their diagnoses and precise ICD-10 codes, it would've been magical.
