Is Drip HIPAA compliant?

Is Drip HIPAA compliant?

 

Although you might not immediately think that HIPAA has anything to do with e-commerce, think again.  Covered entities selling medical devices to patients must also abide by HIPAA regulations. Drip is a marketing engine built with e-commerce in mind.  One of our existing customers brought it up on a call with us recently, so we decided to dig into the details of its HIPAA compliance.

About Drip

Drip is an e-commerce customer relationship manager.  It allows companies to build personalized customer experiences in order to drive sales.

 

Drip and the business associate agreement

A business associate agreement (BAA) is a written contract between a covered entity and a business associate. It is required by law for HIPAA compliance. Drip has no mention of signing a BAA anywhere in its public documentation.

 

Drip and HIPAA

Drip does however directly reference HIPAA compliance:
Drip is not HIPAA compliant and we do not provide the encryption and security level as required to become HIPAA compliant.

This is a pretty straightforward answer to the question.

 

Is Drip HIPAA compliant?

The BAA is a key component to HIPAA compliance, and we found no evidence that Drip will sign one. Furthermore, the company directly states that it is not HIPAA compliant.

 

Conclusion: Drip is not HIPAA compliant.

(** To use Oracle Eloqua in a HIPAA compliant manner, recipients receive two emails for every message you send. Patients must also log into a secure message center to view your message— it does not appear in their inboxes. This creates friction and makes it less likely that your patients will read your marketing email.)
