Is GoDaddy HIPAA Compliant? Conditional Compliance Explained. EP. 48


Listen Later

This week on the HIPAA Vault show, we delve into the complex landscape of HIPAA compliance, especially when it comes to service providers like GoDaddy. Is GoDaddy HIPAA compliant? It's a question that many in the healthcare sector find themselves asking, given the critical nature of following HIPAA regulations. We unpack this nuanced topic by examining GoDaddy's offerings, particularly highlighting that their HIPAA compliance is conditional, depending on the specific products or services being used. Specifically, we explore how GoDaddy's Business Associate Agreement (BAA) applies only to their Office 365 Email offerings, leaving their website hosting services outside the compliance boundary.

We also guide our viewers through the essential components required to make a website truly HIPAA compliant, touching on crucial elements such as data encryption, access controls, audit trails, backup and disaster recovery, and physical security. The episode emphasizes that achieving compliance is an ongoing journey, involving more than just technical solutions but also encompassing employee training and the establishment of effective policies and procedures.
