Q: Hi David, looking through the Q&A for anything related to security - so, I sell to: Healthcare, Govt.
institutions, some very small with modest needs where BreezeDoc could be a fit. Common denominator is they all require some form of encryption for signed docs, i.e. HIPAA in healthcare and other various requirements for the rest for basic security. Would it be possible to use BreezeDoc in such environments?

Thanks for your question — and thanks for looking at the Q&A first. To keep the Q&A section clean, we do try to moderate repeat questions. This makes it easier for everyone to browse the Q&A without tons of confusion, stress, or overwhelm. We want to make it easy for people to understand, and appreciate you taking time to read the existing questions first. 🙇
HIPAA requires a ton of restrictions, audits, and associated costs... so it's likely not realistic in the near future. It's just way too expensive to make sure we're HIPAA-compliant, and we'd have to pass along those costs to our customers by significantly increasing the price of BreezeDoc.
We're hyper-focused on simplicity and affordability, and we want to continue playing in that sandbox. For solopreneurs, consultants, and freelancers, we think we're a GREAT choice (and way more affordable than DocuSign or Dropbox Sign).
stefhHi - While I agree with your low-cost/simplistic approach, the lack of HIPAA compliance is a major bummer. I'd love to recommend BreezeDoc to everyone, and that feature lacking removes that recommendation for a lot of people.
I get the requirements ... but I am also wondering if there is a simpler way to get those requirements met (e.g., maybe partner with another company that would benefit ...)
