In the rapidly evolving world of AI compliance with privacy regulations is critical, especially when healthcare data is involved. BastionGPT offers a secure, privacy-compliant solution that protects sensitive data while empowering healthcare professionals to work effectively. BastionGPT addresses compliance with global standards for AI and data privacy helping you to adhere to US (HIPAA), Canadian (PIPEDA), Australian (APP) and other countries standards. BastionGPT was founded by cybersecurity experts with privacy and security as a central principle, making us stand out as a reliable partner for healthcare providers.
Understanding healthcare privacy acronyms: HIPAA, PIPEDA, and APP.
The United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is the key healthcare privacy regulation in the United States. It mandates that all protected health information (PHI) is securely stored, processed, and accessed to support patient confidentiality. HIPAA compliance requires business associates to sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) to demonstrate their commitment to safeguarding PHI. Signup with BastionGPT includes a BAA to support compliance with legal requirements.
The Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs data privacy in Canada, ensuring that organizations collect, use, and disclose personal information responsibly. PIPEDA emphasizes the importance of obtaining informed consent from individuals and maintaining high standards of security.
The Australian Privacy Principles (APP) form the core of privacy regulation in Australia, focusing on managing personal information responsibly. It includes requirements around data transparency, consent, cross-border data disclosure, and maintaining data integrity.
