What is HIPAA?

In short

HIPAA is the US health privacy rule, and a badge of it on a vendor means that vendor has signed up to protect health data.

HIPAA is the US rule that governs how health information is handled. A vendor that lists it has put agreements and controls in place to protect that kind of data, which is why buyers in healthcare look for it first.

A badge does not mean every product feature is covered, so ask which parts of the service the protection covers. It appears across this group of backup products: Acronis and Acronis Cyber Protect both list it, alongside much longer compliance ranges. Backblaze Computer Backup, Carbonite Safe and Internxt list it too, Internxt pairing it with ISO 27001:2022, GDPR and SOC 2.
