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.
