HIPAA-secure patient records, built on AWS

June 26, 2026

"Secure" is easy to claim and hard to prove. Here's concretely how Tipulim protects patient health information (PHI) — and why it matters for your compliance obligations.

Encryption at rest

Every record containing PHI is encrypted before it touches disk. Even at the infrastructure level, the raw data is unreadable without the keys.

Append-only clinical records

Clinical notes are append-only and auditable. You can't silently rewrite history — corrections are tracked as amendments, which is exactly what regulators and malpractice defense expect.

A real audit trail

Sensitive actions are logged: who accessed a record, when, and what changed. If you ever need to demonstrate access controls, the evidence is already there.

A signed Business Associate Agreement

Tipulim runs on Amazon Web Services under a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA). That's the contractual backbone of HIPAA compliance — without one, no platform can legitimately handle PHI on your behalf.

Why this matters to you

  • You inherit infrastructure-grade security without hiring a security team
  • Your patients' trust is protected by design, not by promises
  • You stay on the right side of HIPAA from day one

Security shouldn't be a premium add-on — encrypted, auditable records are included on every Tipulim plan.
