Zoom for Healthcare is made specifically for healthcare providers. Zoom will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA), making Zoom for Healthcare HIPAA compliant. The access control feature allows only authorized personnel to access ePHI. Zoom for Healthcare also has activity logs and audit controls to register attempts to access ePHI.
Zoom has Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and uses 256-bit keys to protect its meetings. For HIPAA accounts, Zoom enables “Fully Encrypted Persistent Chat,” an encrypted messaging system through which public-key cryptography and private keys are generated and can be stored only on users’ devices. Zoom incorporates additional security measures, ensuring that PHI always stays private. There are two different user authentication requirements, as well as access control measures, which regulate who or what can view or use resources on the platform.
