hipaa-ngfw-compliance

hipaa-ngfw-compliance is a skill for Codex from fastrevmd-lab/fwskillsshare. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,241 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for assessing firewall controls against the HIPAA Security Rule, a US standard for protecting electronic protected health information. It covers areas such as access control, network separation, encrypted transmission, logging, and risk management.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review firewall configurations, map controls and evidence to HIPAA safeguards, identify gaps, and assess topics such as ePHI access, audit controls, and business associate access.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish firewall capabilities from full HIPAA compliance, which also depends on policies, monitoring, documentation, risk analysis, and vendor agreements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hipaa-ngfw-compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

HIPAA NGFW Compliance Research

Overview

Use this skill to answer questions like “what does an NGFW need to do to be HIPAA compliant?” or “is this firewall design sufficient for HIPAA Security Rule expectations?” The core answer is: a next-generation firewall is not HIPAA compliant by itself. HIPAA Security Rule compliance is assessed for the covered entity or business associate, the electronic protected health information (ePHI) it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits, and the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards used to protect that ePHI.

An NGFW can be an important technical safeguard and evidence source. It can enforce segmentation, access control, encrypted transmission paths, remote-access controls, threat prevention, logging, and monitoring. But it only supports HIPAA when it is selected through risk analysis, configured according to policy, monitored, reviewed, documented, and integrated into incident response and business associate governance.

Treat this as research and assessment guidance, not legal advice and not an OCR determination. When producing final compliance language, cite 45 CFR Part 164 Subpart C sections and defer final interpretation to the entity’s privacy/security officer, counsel, compliance team, or qualified assessor.

Scope and routing

Parse raw configurations with the matching parsing-* skill first. Use this skill when findings must map to HIPAA safeguards and ePHI evidence; use firewall-best-practices-audit for framework-neutral hygiene.

Runtime intake

Before starting the workflow, inspect the request, supplied artifacts, and available approved read-only evidence. If unresolved facts could materially change safety, scope, correctness, confidence, or the requested output, read references/runtime-intake.md.

For each unresolved material fact whose catalog condition is true, invoke Claude AskUserQuestion or Codex request_user_input before continuing or issuing an open-ended request. Ask at most three single-select catalog questions per round. After each response, ask another round whenever any unresolved material catalog condition remains true; continue only when none remain. Do not repeat answered questions or show the full catalog. Without a native tool, present each selected catalog question with its 2-3 labeled choices and a free-text Other path in concise plain text; do not substitute a generic checklist.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
