In this episode of the HIPAA Insider Show, Adam Z. and HIPAA Vault CEO Gil Vidals revisit one of the most common — and most misunderstood — questions in healthcare IT: using WordPress in a HIPAA-regulated environment.
With upcoming 2026 HIPAA Security Rule updates making safeguards mandatory and enforcement stricter, we break down what has fundamentally changed and what core compliance principles still matter for healthcare organizations and business associates using WordPress.
You’ll learn:
What the 2026 HIPAA updates mean for WordPress websites
Why Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and encryption at rest are no longer optional
How mandatory security testing impacts healthcare websites
Common WordPress compliance mistakes that lead to breaches
Why your hosting provider is the foundation of HIPAA compliance
If your organization uses WordPress for patient intake forms, portals, or healthcare marketing, this episode will help you avoid costly compliance gaps and future enforcement risks.
