AI agents in healthcare, without exposing PHI

Clinical, revenue-cycle, and engineering teams are adopting agents and coding assistants. Knostic stops those agents from carrying protected health information out, acting destructively on patient systems, or installing components nobody reviewed.

Patient confidentiality meets agent autonomy.

An agent with access to an EHR integration or a claims database can read more than it should and move it faster than anyone can stop. Knostic checks each action before it runs, catches PHI in prompts and outputs, and logs every decision for HIPAA.

How Knostic works in healthcare

Patient systems

Before Knostic

An agent cleaning up records runs a destructive command against live data and reports success.

After Knostic

Destructive and out-of-scope actions are denied before execution and alerted as prevented.

Which tools touch PHI

Before Knostic

Clinicians and analysts adopt assistants and agents on their own. The compliance team has no inventory.

After Knostic

Every AI tool and agent is discovered and attributed, so PHI exposure paths are known.

Connectors and plugins

Before Knostic

A plugin installed to speed up documentation carries a hidden instruction and exports data.

After Knostic

AgentMesh scans every skill, MCP server, and extension. Dangerous ones are blocked before they reach the agent.

Key capabilities

PHI and credential detection

Protected health information and credentials in prompts and outputs are caught and blocked or redacted.

Action guardrails

Destructive and bulk operations on patient systems are blocked or escalated.

Shadow AI discovery

See every agent and assistant in use across clinical and business teams.

Vetted components

Skills, MCP servers, and extensions rated before install.

HIPAA evidence

Decision logs and inventory that support your Security Rule controls and audits.

Role-based policy

Clinical, billing, and engineering teams under different allowances.

Frequently asked questions

Knostic supports your HIPAA program with enforced controls on agent actions, PHI detection, and audit logs. Compliance is a property of your program; Knostic provides controls and evidence for it.
