Work with Nylas in comfort, knowing that your private health data is safe and secure.
Work with Nylas in comfort, knowing that your private health data is safe and secure.
Security has always been our top priority at Nylas – from the way we process and store data to the rich security features available on our platform like data residency, SSO, and native authentication.
Earlier this year, we made our front-end, embeddable scheduling UI free to all healthcare companies fighting COVID. Today, to continue to help our customers and meet the growing demands of the healthcare industry, we’re excited to announce that the Nylas platform is HIPAA Type 1 / HITECH compliant.
It’s no secret that this year has seen a massive spike in demand for telehealth (a 65% increase this year alone). This has left product and engineering teams scrambling to build secure and compliant features faster than ever before. Supporting the great demand for remote doctor appointments takes time – building integrations to each of your user’s calendar providers and ensuring the integrations are secure, fast, and performant presents challenges when there are so many features to build and only so many hours in the day.
Now, with Nylas, developers building healthcare applications can increase velocity and support the ever-increasing remote world with ease and confidence.
To attain HIPAA Type 1 / HITECH Compliance, Nylas implemented additional security safeguards to strengthen its administrative, physical, and technical defenses. Specifically, we have incorporated additional security measures such as:
These features supplement Nylas’s existing security measures such as end-to-end data encryption, GDPR compliance, CCPA compliance, SOC 2 Certification, and EU SCC. For healthcare applications that need to integrate with Gmail user data, we even offer an express security review to help you get up and running in a fraction of the time with the lowest-cost guaranteed.
Not every infrastructure platform is HIPAA Type 1 / HITECH compliant, largely due to the high cost and ongoing staffing requirements needed to attain this certification.
To lighten the burden of engineering teams and help increase velocity, attaining HIPAA Type 1 / HITECH compliance just made sense. Now, developers can securely and confidently connect their users’ email, calendar, and contacts data to enable workflows that improve user efficiency and improve overall patient satisfaction. Some example workflows include:
