HIPAA compliance, even on AWS is extremely expensive. I believe the best vendor to get HIPAA (someone correct me if I'm wrong) is to go with Google Cloud. Last time I checked did not charge any extra for HIPAA BAA signing.
Edit: I stand corrected on this, AWS no longer requires dedicated hardware for BAA HIPAA: Sorry I didn't look this up, I had old information.

- viggity 8y agoWe're on Azure and they definitely don't charge for a BAA. And it doesn't appear that AWS does either.
- rhacker 8y agoAWS requires you to use single tenancy hardware to be covered by that BAA. OH I stand corrected: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/aws-hipaa-program-update-removal-of-dedicated-instance-requirement/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/aws-hipaa-program-update-re...
- pg_bot 8y agoAWS is IMO the best vendor if you are looking to for HIPAA compliant cloud computing. Our bills are higher than they would be for a non-medical application, but nothing astronomical. Programmer time is still way more expensive.
- IronWolve 8y agoMy work has made the aggressive stance no HIPAA data on AWS due to the legal and billing issues, not a technical one. Technically it a good solution, and we might use it down the road. We already use AWS/S3 for firmware device updates.
