vlayer Documentation
vlayer (Verification Layer) is an open-source CLI tool that scans your codebase for HIPAA compliance issues. It helps healthcare software developers identify and fix potential violations before they become problems.
What is vlayer?
vlayer automatically analyzes your code for:
- PHI Exposure - Detects hardcoded Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, dates of birth, and other protected health information
- Encryption Standards - Identifies weak cryptographic algorithms and missing encryption
- Audit Logging - Verifies proper logging of PHI access
- Access Control - Finds authentication bypasses and permission issues
- Data Retention - Flags improper data deletion practices

Why vlayer?
Building healthcare software requires strict compliance with HIPAA regulations. Manual code reviews are time-consuming and error-prone. vlayer automates this process, catching issues early in development when they're cheapest to fix.
