Compliance frameworks

Our products and internal processes are designed with compliance in mind. We use the following compliance frameworks to evaluate and improve our approach:

HIPAA: Amino serves many clients as a business associate and maintains HIPAA-compliant privacy and security programs, informed by attorneys, security consultants, and healthcare policy experts. Our services undergo an annual HIPAA risk assessment.
SOC 2: Amino product offerings are SOC 2 certified, which ensures we have the appropriate internal controls in place for secure data management and processing.

Application security measures

Encryption

We use SSL Encryption to protect PII and PHI from unauthorized access. All communication between Amino members and our application is encrypted in transit, and databases / database backups are encrypted at rest.

Data access

To protect our customers' data, Amino practices least-access principles. Customer data is only made available to approved employees with roles that require access to perform their primary job duties.

Third-party vendors

Every third-party vendor used by Amino goes through a thorough internal risk assessment process. We sign business associate agreements (BAAs) with any vendors accessing sensitive client data.

Pentesting and security scans

Amino conducts third-party pentests at least annually. In addition to regular pentesting, we also use dynamic and static scanning tools to monitor and detect vulnerabilities, and participate in a bug bounty program.

Responsible disclosure and bug bounty program

If you believe you have discovered a vulnerability within Amino’s application, or if you would like to participate in Amino’s bug bounty program as hosted by HackerOne, please contact our Security Engineering team by emailing security@amino.com.
