A cloud-based healthcare app processes and/or stores ePHI for a covered entity or another business associate, and therefore, it must be HIPAA compliant. Stored or transmitted data through cloud service providers like Google Cloud and AWS provide end-to-end encryption and utilize Transport Layer Security(TLS). However, to facilitate an additional layer of security and further strengthen data encryption, a reliable healthcare app development company must implement Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption.
