The agent catches code-level issues early and continuously so your eventual audit is faster and cleaner. A fully compliant app also requires signed BAAs, policies, training, and physical safeguards. Specode's Pro plan includes BAA coverage for your production infrastructure. Think of the scan as your code's ongoing health check — necessary, but one part of the whole picture.

No — and we won't claim it is. It catches code-level issues early and continuously so your eventual audit is faster and cleaner. You stay responsible for your own risk analysis and documentation; we make the engineering side far easier.

Questionnaires only score what you tell them. A developer might genuinely believe their app logs no PHI but still have a debug route printing patient data. The scan reads the code, not your memory of it. Run both — they answer different questions.

Typically 10 to 15 minutes. Each full scan costs approximately 1 credit. If the AI returns a malformed result it automatically retries before surfacing an error. Results are saved with their own compliance score so you can track progress over time.

No. The agent runs on the code already inside Specode, from the Compliance Center. Nothing gets pasted into a separate tool. No integrations, no config, no external accounts required.

Two independent agents scan your codebase in parallel, and a third merges and verifies their findings before anything reaches you — so you spend time on real issues, not noise.

Yes. Our plans include BAA coverage for your production backend hosting. No BAA negotiation required. Third-party integrations like CometChat or Stripe may require their own BAAs.

The proposed Security Rule update (expected to be finalized in 2026) would require mandatory encryption of PHI at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication for systems with PHI access, network segmentation, and more rigorous vulnerability scanning. The Specode compliance scan already checks for most of these technical controls in your code.
