Asato Corporation said on October 21, 2026 that its agentic AI IT asset optimization platform completed an independent HIPAA compliance examination conducted by Sensiba, an accounting and advisory firm. The announcement was made in San Jose, California, according to EIN Presswire.

What the Sensiba Examination Covered

Sensiba found that Asato complied in all material respects with the HIPAA Audit Program published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The examination covered the HIPAA Security Rule and the Breach Notification Rule, and Sensiba tested 89 safeguards and key activities under AICPA attestation standards.

The review included risk analysis, risk management, workforce security, access authorization, security awareness training, access controls, audit controls, integrity, transmission security, facility and device safeguards, security incident procedures, contingency planning and breach notification. The examination evaluated how Asato's safeguards operated across a full year, not just at a single point in time.

Asato's platform consolidates software licenses, clinical and endpoint devices, cloud subscriptions and vendor contracts into a single view. It can surface hidden waste, including redundant tools and unused licenses, and recommend and act on AI-driven optimization opportunities. Sundari Mitra, Asato's founder and CEO, said the company's HIPAA compliance gives customers confidence, security and guardrails for patient data.

Asato's Funding and Customer Record

Asato is an AI-native IT asset optimization platform that unifies fragmented IT, SaaS and compliance data into a decision-grade knowledge graph for enterprise CIOs, according to akta.pro company records. The Saratoga-based company was founded in 2023 and has 11-50 employees, the same records show.

Asato closed a $7.5 million seed round in December 2023 co-led by Intel Capital and Lip-Bu Tan, with participation from Shah Capital Partners and angel investors including Amarjit Gill, Ash Bhardwaj, Charlie Giancarlo and Sanjay Mehrotra. A leading healthcare enterprise customer achieved $3 million in IT asset savings in 3 weeks with 30% improvement in operational efficiency using Asato's platform.

Other Healthcare Compliance Audits

Handtevy completed its SOC 2 Type 2 examination, an independent audit of security, availability and confidentiality practices issued July 2, 2026, Prweb reported. The audit, conducted by A-LIGN, validates controls for its clinical intelligence platform used by over 200,000 clinicians.

CureMD Healthcare announced ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification for its AI Management System, covering AI Scribe, Medical Coder, Patient Contact Center and Clinical Trials, PR Newswire reported. The independent audit validated governance processes including risk management, security and human oversight.

Asato's Earlier FedRAMP Designation

The HIPAA result builds on Asato's broader security program, including its FedRAMP Ready designation announced in August 2026. Asato said customers can learn more about its security and compliance practices at the company's security page.
