API2PDF and HIPAA Compliance for PDF Generation

Published Jan 31, 2019

Intro

HIPAA is a US law that governs data privacy and security of confidential medical patient records. Breach of HIPAA could yield immense fines and punishment. It is of utmost seriousness and organizations go to great lengths to ensure they are HIPAA compliant.

We recognize that medical technology relies on PDF generation, and we receive many inquiries about API2PDF’s HIPAA compliance.

All we do at API2PDF is pass your JSON payload straight for processing + store the resulting PDF on Amazon S3. We offer a DELETE PDF endpoint so that you can delete the generated PDF off of our S3 storage immediately. If you do not explicitly delete the PDF, API2PDF automatically deletes the PDF after 24 hours anyway.
