The team at ngrok is very excited to announce that the ngrok platform can support HIPAA workloads!
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, is the US federal law enacted to protect patient health information. The law sets stringent standards in order to secure electronic protected health information (ePHI/PHI). Achieving HIPAA compliance means that ngrok has implemented the administrative, physical, and technical safeguards required to protect sensitive patient data.
You can now take advantage of ngrok’s universal gateway while continuing to adhere to HIPAA requirements.
HIPAA compliance helps if you want to use ngrok to:
We've dedicated trust.ngrok.com to how we secure ngrok, and all of this applies to how we protect PHI.
Additionally, we’ve set up account level guardrails to ensure that ngrok always encrypts and never stores PHI, only transits through our network in an entirely encrypted fashion. This data in transit is encrypted throughout our network.
Get started on ngrok with HIPAA workloads by reaching out to sales@ngrok.com.
