I built PHI Guard because GitHub's Secret Scanning only catches API keys – it has zero support for HIPAA's 18 PHI identifiers. Healthcare developers accidentally commit SSNs, MRNs, and patient emails into repos all the time.
PHI Guard detects 17 of 18 HIPAA identifiers (names excluded due to false positive concerns) and runs as:
- Pre-commit hook (~2.5s, regex-only)
- GitHub Action (full NLP mode)
- CLI tool
pip install phi-guard
Would love feedback from anyone working in healthcare tech or compliance.
