Back4app Is HIPAA Compliant

What Does HIPAA Compliance Mean?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) protects PHI with strict Security and Privacy Rules.

Our encryption, access controls, and audit logging are now validated to meet these requirements, and a ready-to-sign Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is included with every Dedicated cluster.

Inside the Journey

Achieving HIPAA compliance took months of risk assessments, policy upgrades, and technical safeguards. Independent auditors inspected everything—from firewall rules to incident-response playbooks—while our team implemented continuous monitoring and regular penetration tests.

The result: verified controls, robust documentation, and a security-first culture. We’re not stopping here—annual HIPAA audits, ongoing red-team exercises, and 24×7 monitoring keep us ahead of emerging threats.

Message from the Team
