Is EasySend HIPAA compliant?

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) sets standards for protecting sensitive patient health information. While EasySend is not a HIPAA-certified platform, its security features align with HIPAA technical requirements:

How EasySend Meets HIPAA Technical Safeguards

• Encryption in transit - all connections use HTTPS with TLS 1.3
• Encryption at rest - end-to-end encryption using AES-256-GCM encrypts files in your browser before upload
• Access controls - password protection limits who can view files
• Audit capability - download notifications track when files are accessed
• Automatic disposal - files auto-delete after the retention period

Zero-Knowledge and BAA

With zero-knowledge encryption, EasySend never has access to unencrypted protected health information (PHI). The encryption key exists only in your browser and the recipient browser. This simplifies Business Associate Agreement (BAA) requirements because the service never processes readable PHI.

Recommendation

Healthcare providers using EasySend for patient file transfers should always enable end-to-end encryption and password protection. Share the link and password through separate channels. See the medical records sharing guide and healthcare use case for detailed workflows.
