Why SaaS companies need HIPAA

  • A single healthcare customer storing PHI in your SaaS can trigger business-associate obligations.
  • Customers will ask you to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) — you need the controls to back it.
  • Multi-tenant SaaS has to prove PHI is access-controlled, encrypted, and logged.
  • HIPAA overlaps heavily with SOC 2, so most SaaS companies build them together.

More context on this sector on our SaaS industry page, and on the framework itself on our HIPAA hub.

HIPAA for SaaS: common questions

When does HIPAA apply to our SaaS?

When you store, process, or transmit PHI on behalf of a covered entity — typically once a healthcare customer puts patient data in your product. That makes you a business associate.

Can we sign a BAA?

Only if your controls actually support the commitments in it. We build the safeguards first, then you can sign with confidence.

How does HIPAA relate to our SOC 2?

They overlap on access control, encryption, and logging. If you are doing SOC 2, most HIPAA technical safeguards come along with it.
