Tag HIPAA in Segment

Segment offers features to assist healthcare organizations with HIPAA compliance, but it's crucial to understand that these features don't guarantee automatic adherence to the law. Here's a breakdown of what Segment provides:

• HIPAA-Eligible Workspace: Segment verifies your workspace to ensure it meets HIPAA's strict security standards. This is the foundation for handling sensitive patient data.
• Data Encryption: With an eligible workspace, you can encrypt specific fields containing Protected Health Information (PHI) before they're sent to other platforms. Segment provides pre-built options to identify common PHI fields like names, addresses, and diagnoses. You can also create custom matching rules for your specific needs.
• Business Associate Agreements (BAAs): While encryption protects data in transit, HIPAA also requires BAAs with any third-party tools that receive PHI. Segment itself can be a HIPAA compliant Business Associate, but you'll need to establish separate BAAs with other data destinations.

Remember, HIPAA compliance is a shared responsibility. Segment offers the tools to handle your part within the platform, but ensuring comprehensive compliance requires a thorough understanding of the regulations and agreements with all your healthcare data partners.

Secoda offers integration with Segment, allowing you to tag HIPAA through the platform. An Automation in Secoda consists of Triggers and Actions. Triggers activate the workflow based on specific schedules, such as hourly, daily, or custom intervals. Actions encompass various operations, including filtering and updating metadata. You can stack multiple actions to create customized workflows that meet your team's requirements. Secoda enables bulk updates to metadata in Segment, providing efficient management capabilities.

Secoda, an AI data governance platform, offers a comprehensive integration with Segment.
