Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow (MWAA) is now HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) eligible.
Amazon MWAA is a managed orchestration service for Apache Airflow that makes it easier to set up and operate end-to-end data pipelines in the cloud. HIPAA eligibility means that customers subject to HIPAA—including health insurance companies, healthcare providers, healthcare clearinghouses, government programs that pay for healthcare, military and veterans' health programs, as well as their associates—can now use Amazon MWAA to manage AWS workflows that store, process or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI).
If you have a HIPAA Business Associate Addendum (BAA) in place with AWS, you can now start using Amazon MWAA for workflows handling PHI on new environments. You can launch a new Apache Airflow environment on Amazon MWAA with just a few clicks in the AWS Management Console in all currently supported Amazon MWAA regions. If you don't have a BAA in place with AWS, or if you have any other questions about running HIPAA-regulated workloads on AWS, please contact us.
