HIPAA: Our commitment to Secure ML and AI in Healthcare

Outerbounds is now HIPAA compliant on all clouds - enabling our customers to build, deploy, and scale ML and AI systems in highly sensitive environments with enhanced data protection measures.

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) establishes standards for safeguarding sensitive patient data. For organizations working with protected health information (PHI), compliance is a critical component in maintaining patient privacy and trust. HIPAA applies to covered entities (such as healthcare providers and insurance companies) and business associates (entities that handle PHI while performing services for covered entities).

Outerbounds follows a fully-managed Bring Your Own Cloud & Policies approach, ensuring that all your data, models, and metadata are safely processed and stored within your cloud’s governance boundary. Our state-less control plane architecture drastically reduces your compliance risk - freeing up your valuable resources to focus more on ML / AI without compromising control and security. To provide an additional layer of administrative and data security, we have and continue to offer single-tenant control planes and are now signing Business Associate Agreements (BAA) on our enterprise plans for customers handling PHI.

Our commitment to secure machine learning extends beyond HIPAA compliance, and we are continuously investing in making our security posture more robust. To get started with secure and compliant ML/AI, reach out!
