Is SimplePDF HIPAA compliant?

Benjamin André-Micolon

Yes. Healthcare organizations handle sensitive patient data every day, from intake forms to prior authorizations. When choosing a PDF editor, HIPAA compliance matters.

Processing: always in the browser

SimplePDF processes all PDFs directly in your browser, on every plan. No document content is sent to SimplePDF servers during editing.

Storage: depends on your plan

Without Bring Your Own Storage, completed files are stored in SimplePDF storage.

With Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS), completed documents are uploaded directly from the browser to your own storage using presigned URLs. Nothing is stored by SimplePDF.

BYOS supports S3, Azure Blob Storage, and SharePoint. It is available starting from the Pro plan.

BAA

A Business Associate Agreement is available upon request. Contact us to discuss your compliance requirements.

Built for healthcare workflows

SimplePDF is used by healthcare organizations for common workflows like patient intake forms, referral forms, prior authorizations, and insurance claims. You can embed the editor directly into your EHR or patient portal.

That's it! SimplePDF processes documents in the browser, and with BYOS, completed files go straight to your own storage.
