Mixpanel and the business associate agreement
We’ve previously talked about how 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.
Mixpanel has a link on its website titled Mixpanel & HIPAA which explains:
Mixpanel’s SOC 2, ISO27001 Data Center, GDPR, and EU-U.S. Privacy Shield compliant data centers, along with our standard Business Associates Agreement (“BAA”), help our customers maintain their HIPAA compliance.
Does Mixpanel offer HIPAA compliant service?
The BAA is a key component to HIPAA compliance between a covered entity and a business associate. Since Mixpanel offers one, the company can be HIPAA compliant.
