HIPAA Compliance
BAA-ready infrastructure for healthcare organizations
Sign a BAA. Ship healthcare software. Sleep at night.
VxCloud is a HIPAA Business Associate. We sign BAAs, we document our safeguards, and we provide a PHI-ready platform with encryption, audit logging, and access controls aligned to the HIPAA Security Rule.
Overview
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its HITECH amendments regulate the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) in the United States. VxCloud operates as a HIPAA Business Associate: we sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with covered entities and other business associates, commit to HIPAA-compliant handling of PHI, and implement the technical, administrative, and physical safeguards required by the HIPAA Security Rule.
Our HIPAA-compliant infrastructure supports PHI storage, processing, and transmission with encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+), comprehensive audit logging, role-based access controls, automatic session timeouts, secure backup and disaster recovery, and breach notification procedures aligned with HITECH requirements. BAAs are available to any customer with a documented need to process PHI on the platform.
