Is Caspio HIPAA Compliant?

Yes, Caspio supports HIPAA compliance through its HIPAA-Compliant Edition and provides signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) to covered entities and business associates.

Organizations building applications that handle protected health information (PHI) use Caspio’s HIPAA-Compliant Edition, which is designed to support the technical, physical, and administrative safeguards required under HIPAA.

What HIPAA Compliance Means

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires organizations that handle PHI to implement safeguards that protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data. Software platforms used in healthcare environments must also sign a Business Associate Agreement with covered entities.

Required safeguards include encryption of data storage and transmission, access controls limiting who can view PHI, audit logs tracking all data access, secure authentication methods, and procedures for breach notification and incident response.

Caspio’s HIPAA Compliance Capabilities

Data Encryption: All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, preventing unauthorized access during storage or transmission.
Access Controls: Role-based permissions and record-level security ensure users only access PHI necessary for their role. Authentication options include SSO and two-factor authentication (2FA).
Audit Logging: Comprehensive activity tracking provides full visibility into who accessed what data and when, supporting compliance audits and incident investigations.
Infrastructure Security: Caspio runs on AWS infrastructure, meeting ISO 27001 standards.
Business Associate Agreement: Caspio signs BAAs with customers and maintains BAAs with all subcontractors handling PHI, ensuring compliance throughout the service chain.
Continuous Monitoring: Proactive monitoring and real-time alerts identify potential security risks before they become compliance issues.
