HIPPA Compliance

While I am convinced Sia is at least as secure (probably more secure) than most health data systems, are there any plans to get a "stamp of approval" for HIPPA compliance? This is mostly a US thing, but I am certain many countries have similar privacy laws.

I think that it will be pretty easy to get HIPPA compliance, however we want to focus more on the software stability before we put too much effort into pursuing an actual certification.
We've talked about this to lawyers a few times, and the answer is generally along the lines of 'maybe, but HIPPA is pretty annoying'.

There is no such thing as a "stamp of approval" for HIPAA compliance. HIPAA is a set of rules and procedures for detailing with data, which includes security provisions, having a security offer, and so on, as you have linked above. When organizations state that they are HIPAA-compliant, they are just stating that they are adhering to all of the specifications of HIPAA.
I had written more but the spam filter is flagging posts.

hmm, maybe you were just making too many posts per hour as a new account? I'm really sorry about that, we definitely aren't trying to limit the amount of legitimate posting that can happen.
