> Basic technical compliance is not the hard part! It's everything else.
We totally agree. And to clarify, we don't just provide the technical compliance checklist (AWS Audit Manager already has all that), we provide the comprehensive list of tasks and policies that you need to put in place to be prepared for a complete audit. This spans terraform for technical infra setup all the way to 20+ legal policies (BC/DR Policies, Asset Management Policies, Access Control Policies, etc.)
> In my experience no customers will ever ask if you're HIPAA compliant.
For startups and earlier companies, being HIPAA compliant (whether it's a compliance badge on the footer of your website or a compliance report that you send to customers) is immensely helpful in the sales process. It signals credibility and trust. Sometimes this can be the difference between getting a sales call vs. not.
> A more detailed website would change that a lot.
We completely agree. We're rolling out a new version of the website taking to heart all the feedback you've given and will reply here in the coming days once we've pushed the updates.
> It's also not clear to me how this whole setup works with legal.
We're not replacing your legal counsel nor are we guaranteeing compliance. We're giving you the tools to be compliant that we've revised and refined with the help of auditors. At the end of the day, if you intentionally deploy an application that posts people's medical data to Twitter or you leave your computer unlocked on a subway, we can't take liability for that :)
