Elasticsearch Service has announced its compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), allowing users to engage in a business associate agreement (BAA) for handling protected health information (PHI). This compliance enables users, such as insurance companies and medical practices that must adhere to HIPAA rules, to utilize Elasticsearch Service for processing, managing, and storing PHI across platforms like Azure, GCP, and AWS, regardless of region or subscription tier. This development is aimed at facilitating the integration of Elasticsearch's rich search capabilities with PHI data while ensuring data privacy and security. New users can explore the HIPAA-compliant Elasticsearch Service through a 14-day trial, with further details available through Elastic's sales representatives or contact page.
