What is FairWarning
FairWarning is a healthcare-focused user activity monitoring and analytics product used to detect inappropriate access to electronic protected health information (ePHI) and support HIPAA privacy compliance. It analyzes access patterns across EHR and other clinical/administrative systems to identify anomalous or policy-violating behavior and to support investigations. Typical users include privacy officers, compliance teams, and security operations in provider organizations and health plans. The product is commonly positioned around insider risk, patient record snooping detection, and audit/reporting workflows tailored to healthcare.
Healthcare-tailored privacy monitoring
The product is designed around healthcare privacy use cases such as patient record snooping, VIP patient monitoring, and workforce access oversight. It aligns monitoring and reporting to HIPAA-oriented audit expectations and privacy office workflows. This specialization can reduce the amount of customization required compared with more general-purpose data security platforms.
User activity analytics for ePHI
FairWarning focuses on analyzing user access behavior to identify anomalous or inappropriate activity, which supports insider-risk detection. It is typically used to prioritize investigations by surfacing outliers and patterns rather than relying only on static audit logs. This UEBA-style approach helps compliance teams handle high log volumes common in EHR environments.
Investigation and audit support
The product supports investigation workflows by helping teams review access events, document findings, and produce audit-ready evidence. It is commonly used to respond to patient complaints and internal privacy inquiries with traceable access histories. These capabilities can shorten time-to-triage compared with manual log review across multiple clinical systems.
Narrower scope than DSPM
FairWarning is primarily oriented to monitoring user access to clinical and related systems, not broad discovery/classification of sensitive data across cloud data stores. Organizations seeking unified controls for data posture management, tokenization, or pervasive DLP across SaaS and cloud warehouses may need additional tools. This can increase overall architecture complexity when compared with platforms centered on cloud data security.
Integration-dependent coverage
Effectiveness depends on the quality and completeness of audit/access feeds from EHRs and other source systems. Gaps in logging, inconsistent identifiers, or limited connector support can reduce detection fidelity and investigation context. Implementations often require coordination with EHR/application owners to ensure the right events and attributes are captured.
Healthcare-centric use cases
The product’s workflows and content are optimized for healthcare privacy operations, which may be less transferable to non-healthcare environments. Enterprises looking for a single UEBA tool spanning IT, OT, and broad identity telemetry may find the focus too specialized. As a result, it may be deployed alongside more general security analytics tools in diversified organizations.
Plan & Pricing
Pricing model: Subscription (Base Subscription + Data Source Subscriptions) Pricing metrics: Pricing for the Base Subscription is based on the number of unique individual user IDs across all Data Source Subscriptions monitored by the Cloud Service (referred to as “Data Source Users”). Structure / key notes:
- Imprivata offers three FairWarning Cloud Services (Cloud Security Platform; Drug Diversion Intelligence (DDI); Patient Privacy Intelligence (PPI)). Each is a separate Base Subscription. (DDI/PPI include up to three employee data sources.)
- Customers must purchase a Base Subscription and a Data Source Subscription for each third‑party data source they want to monitor (e.g., Salesforce, O365, EMR providers).
- Measurement & adjustments: Imprivata reviews Data Source Users every six months; if Data Source Users increase >10% over the Base Statistics the Base Statistics are adjusted and recurring subscription fees may be increased proportionally (customer receives at least two months’ advance notice; 30‑day validation period).
- No list prices or per‑user dollar amounts are published on the vendor site; pricing is set via Order Form / sales. How to buy / contact: Purchase is via Imprivata Order Form / contact sales / request a demo (no public pricing shown).
