Crosswalk pair
HIPAA and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline, control by control
2 canonical controls in Keel’s library satisfy clauses of both HIPAA and US Employment Law - Federal Baseline. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
The overlap
What the two libraries have in common
Every figure here counts canonical controls in Keel’s library, not clauses of either standard. Each standard’s own authored count is on its framework page.
2
Controls that satisfy both
Canonical controls that crosswalk to at least one clause of each.
31
In Keel’s library for HIPAA
6% of them also map to US Employment Law - Federal Baseline.
11
In Keel’s library for US Employment Law - Federal Baseline
18% of them also map to HIPAA.
6
Evidence artifacts expected
Across the shared controls, from Keel’s evidence guidance. Gathered once.
-
HIPAA 6%
2 controls of 31 in Keel’s library for HIPAA also map to US Employment Law - Federal Baseline.
-
US Employment Law - Federal Baseline 18%
2 controls of 11 in Keel’s library for US Employment Law - Federal Baseline also map to HIPAA.
The mapping
Controls that satisfy both
Each row is one control in Keel’s library and the clauses it answers on each side. Do the work once; both columns are then evidenced by the same artifacts.
| Canonical control | HIPAA clauses | US Employment Law - Federal Baseline clauses |
|---|---|---|
| Data retention & secure disposal Data is retained per policy and securely destroyed when no longer needed. The hardware and media that held it reach a defined final disposition at end of life, by a route the organization has decided in advance rather than by whatever happens to the box; and any media that stays in service is cleared of that data before it is reused, reassigned, or passed to anyone else. | 164.310(d)(2)(i), 164.310(d)(2)(ii) | us.recordkeeping.eeo, us.recordkeeping.i9-retention |
| Personnel security (HR) Background screening, confidentiality agreements, and onboarding/offboarding security steps. Before a person is given access to sensitive data, and again whenever their role changes, a documented determination is made that the access their work calls for is appropriate to it - the screening informs that decision but is not the decision. What screening may ask is itself bounded: enquiries about a candidate’s health, disability or medical history are not made, and medical examinations are not required, before a conditional offer of the role has been made, and where such enquiries or examinations are made after an offer they are applied to everyone entering that role rather than to the individuals somebody chose to ask. Access is ended when their employment, or any other arrangement under which they worked for the organization, comes to an end, and whenever that determination says they should no longer hold it. | 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(B), 164.308(a)(3)(ii)(C) | us.hiring-onboarding.ada-preoffer, us.hiring-onboarding.fcra-background |
Beyond the pair
Where else this work counts
A framework is lit when a shared control above also maps to it. Unlit means none of them do — an absence, not a judgment about that standard.

The thesis
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, US Employment Law - Federal Baseline mostly lights up controls you already built for HIPAA. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
Next step
Add US Employment Law - Federal Baseline to the work you already did
Apply both frameworks in one workspace and see the overlap measured against the controls you already hold.
