Is Barracuda Messenger HIPAA compliant?

Barracuda Messenger provides end-to-end encryption for communications, enabling you to exchange both video and audio calls as well as text messages in a confidential, secure environment.

Even though Barracuda Messenger secures conversations in all locations and on all devices, the security features aren’t necessarily sufficient to meet HIPAA requirements. Also, Barracuda Messenger makes no mention of signing a business associate agreement (BAA).

Covered entities looking for a video and text messaging platform for PHI should use a tool that meets HIPAA requirements.
