Wix now gives healthcare providers a seamless way to be HIPAA compliant, allowing healthcare and wellness  businesses to securely manage patient data, build client trust, and expand market reach

Wix’s new offering empowers health-related service providers in the U.S. to enable HIPAA compliance directly through their Wix website, helping health providers meet regulatory obligations when handling sensitive health information online.

By building on Wix’s existing GDPR and SOC 2 compliance frameworks and ISO27799 solution, Wix becomes one of the few major CMS platforms to offer native HIPAA compliance, simplifying the process of building and managing secure healthcare websites.

Key Features and Capabilities:

• One-Click Protected Health Information (PHI) Activation: Users can enable HIPAA compliance during site setup or from their site's Compliance and Privacy settings. 

• Wix HIPAA-Compliant Apps: Wix flags non-compliant Wix apps and communication channels at the site level, ensuring users are aware of it and of the implications on their site. 

• Business Associate Agreement (BAA): Users can sign a BAA, a legal document that establishes the necessary framework for HIPAA compliance by detailing the specific roles and responsibilities of the parties. It clarifies Wix’s commitments regarding the processing of protected health information (PHI) and the security safeguards implemented to protect it.

• HIPAA-Compliant Communication: Wix maintains patient trust with communications designed for healthcare. Wix helps safeguard booking interactions by ensuring PHI is excluded from general notifications, providing a secure layer of protection between users and their clients.

  
  

“Healthcare providers require secure, compliant, and easy to use tools,” said Erez Simai, Product Manager at Wix. “Many of our users in the health and wellness space have long needed a simple, reliable way to meet HIPAA and ISO27799 requirements without relying on third-party tools. With native HIPAA and  ISO27799  compliance, we're removing major barriers for medical professionals and giving them the ability to securely manage patient data, and build trust with their clients.”

Wix’s HIPAA and  ISO27799 Compliance solution is now available to eligible U.S. and Europe-based users.
