HIPAA Compliance for Mobile Health Apps
Learn how HIPAA applies to mobile health apps in 2026, which Security Rule safeguards matter on mobile, and how to enforce them inside the app at runtime.
Appdome runs in your CI/CD pipeline to code, build, and maintain mobile data protection features in your Android & iOS apps. As your mobile app and its features change, Appdome's Build Agent - not your engineering team - will adjust the security features to match any application change or update.

Appdome's modular architecture allows mobile brands and businesses to deploy any number of Mobile Data Attack Detection plugins inside mobile apps. These plugins use a dynamic defense model that analyzes behavioral anomalies, identifies threats, and filters out false positives, all without a server or external attestation. If you want to eliminate big Epics and manual work in fighting the battle against mobile data attacks, Appdome is the right choice.
With TOTALData™ Encryption, mobile brands automate the work out of encrypting data-at-rest, hardcoded values in the Android app, and data in memory inside Android apps. Brands choose the level of encryption (AES 256 or FIPS 140-2) and the scope of encryption, including data in the sandbox, SD card, files, strings, resources, preferences, strings, xml, Java, DEX, DLL, native libraries (.so), data in memory and more. Protect user data, PII, transaction, framework, DB, SDK and business data downloaded, inside or used by the Android app, prove compliance and pass penetration tests quickly and easily. No code. No SDK. No Engineering Work Needed.

FIPS 140-2 is a cryptographic standard that mandates rigorous security requirements for encrypting sensitive data, especially within government and financial sectors. Appdome’s dynamic FIPS 140-2 plugins use FIPS 140-2 compliant RNG to generate unique IVs (Initialization Vectors) and AES256 block cipher for data security. Trusted Session Inspection employs FIPS 140-2 compliant certificate and certificate-chain verification methods (X509_verify_cert). Additionally, Copy/Paste Protection leverages FIPS 140-2 compliant RNG for generating IVs and AES256 block cipher. ONEShield includes checksum validation using only FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms like SHA-256 and SHA-512.

With MitM attack detection and prevention, mobile brands automate the work out of protecting Android & iOS apps and connections from MitM Attacks in the CI/CD pipeline. Detect Session Hijacking, Cookie Hijacking, SSL Stripping, SSL Bypass, Malicious Proxies, Enforce SSL certificate validation, minimum TLS version, and more. Block MitM tools used by penetration testers such as Charles Proxy, Burp Suite, NMAP, MitM Proxy, Wireshark, Metasploit and more. Quickly pass Man-in-the-Middle penetration tests and vulnerability scans. No code, SDKs or dev work required.
