How does SecureVideo meet standards for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)?

Answer

  • 256-bit AES-encrypted signaling and media stream
  • Connections to web app and API through HTTPS only, using TLS 1.3 or 1.2 encryption for in-transit encryption. (See our Qualys SSL Labs Report here.)
  • 128-bit AES-encrypted full database encryption using BitLocker
  • PHI encrypted at rest using AES-256.
  • Amazon Web Services data center; their security measures can be found in detail on the AWS Security page.
  • Each session participant has his/her own individual session access code, which provides granular access and auditability
  • Auditing of all system logins and actions by IP addresses and user agents
  • No passwords stored on our system; we store salted one-way password hashes only
  • Notifications sent from our system, such as invites, notifications, and reminders, never include any PHI
  • For additional PCI compliance, no credit cards are stored on our system, nor does any credit card information pass through our system in unencrypted form; all credit card information is vaulted at our PCI-compliant merchant gateway
  • One-Click video engine, through Twilio integration: this WebRTC technology runs peer-to-peer by default, instead of through a relay, which results in the videoconferencing streams not transiting our infrastructure in the vast majority of technical scenarios. We do use a secure relay when necessary, as in the case of multiple Network Address Translation (NAT) devices situated between the endpoints. For group sessions of 3 or more participants (including the host), each participant negotiates its own DTLS/SRTP connection to Twilio's media servers, and all media published to or subscribed from the Room is transported through this secure connection. 
  • Zoom video engine: our media streams run point-to-point in one-to-one calls, during which the videoconferencing streams not transiting our infrastructure unless a relay is required. 
  • Unless Customer has chosen to add the SecureVideo HIPAA Compliant Cloud Recording feature to their account, video streams are not recorded or stored on SecureVideo servers.
