Unified is Now HIPAA Compliant


October 15, 2025

Healthcare accounts for nearly 17% of U.S. GDP, and the shift to digital delivery means APIs now move more patient data than ever. Protecting that data is no longer optional.

Unified has achieved HIPAA (& PIPEDA) compliance, expanding our zero-storage, real-time API infrastructure to support healthcare and health-adjacent SaaS companies that handle electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).

What this means for our customers:

  • No stored data: Unified never caches or persists customer data — every API call is fetched directly from the source in real time.
  • Secure by design: OAuth2 credential handling, optional AWS Secrets Manager storage, IP allow-listing, and SOC 2 Type II + GDPR alignment meet HIPAA's Security and Privacy Rules.
  • Business Associate Agreements (BAAs): Unified can execute BAAs for customers processing ePHI.
  • Integrations ready for healthcare applications: Real-time access to HR, CRM, accounting, and communication systems used across healthcare SaaS workflows—without compromising compliance.

Security has always been core to Unified's architecture — from how we handle authentication and encryption to our zero-storage model that ensures customer data is never cached or persisted. For product and platform teams building healthcare-related SaaS or AI features, Unified now provides a compliant foundation for integrations and data connectivity—without added infrastructure risk.

Why It Matters

As healthcare moves from clinics to cloud applications, developers need to integrate with HR, CRM, billing, scheduling, and communication systems that touch patient data.

APIs make this possible—but they also introduce risk. When data is cached, logged, or stored outside a covered environment, it falls under HIPAA's Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules—adding compliance overhead and slowing go-to-market.

Unified removes that friction with a real-time pass-through architecture that never stores or replicates data, eliminating liability while maintaining speed.

Built for Healthcare SaaS and AI Products

Developers building healthcare or adjacent SaaS products can now integrate safely with the systems their users rely on—without changing their infrastructure.

Example use cases:

  • Healthcare SaaS platforms connecting to HRIS or payroll systems for clinician onboarding
  • Telehealth providers syncing CRM and messaging tools for secure patient engagement
  • AI copilots and analytics apps reading scheduling, claims, or operations data live—without persisting ePHI

The Bottom Line

Few integration platforms support HIPAA compliance without data storage or caching. Unified's real-time architecture achieves compliance without replicating customer data, minimizing both risk and liability.

HIPAA compliance strengthens what Unified already stands for: secure, real-time data infrastructure that gives SaaS teams control without adding liability.

If you're building a healthcare or health-adjacent product that handles sensitive data, you can now use Unified's unified API and MCP server as a compliant foundation for integrations and AI-driven automation.
