eSignature built for HIPAA-covered workflows
SignDeal is designed to help your organization handle protected health information (PHI) with the technical and contractual safeguards HIPAA requires.
What is HIPAA?
Since 1996The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), enacted in 1996, sets the standard for protecting sensitive health data in the U.S. Any organization handling protected health information (PHI) must ensure this data remains confidential and secure.
eSignature solutions that process or store PHI must support HIPAA's Privacy and Security Rules, and must sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with their customers. SignDeal acts as a Business Associate and can sign a BAA with your organization.

What is a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
A Business Associate Agreement (BAA)is a crucial legal document that ensures HIPAA compliance. It is established between a covered entity and a business associate (SignDeal) to safeguard protected health information. The BAA outlines each party's responsibilities regarding the use, disclosure, and protection of PHI.
