FAQ

We have strict compliance standards to adhere to as a HIPAA-covered entity. How does Backblaze secure our data?

Backblaze takes data security very seriously. We offer highly durable and secure storage with SOC 2-compliant data centers and SOC 2 certification as a company. You can learn more about our security standards here. Under HIPAA, Backblaze is a Business Associate to our business customers who are Covered Entities under HIPAA. We operate in compliance with HIPAA in this regard and will execute a Business Associate Agreement with customers who are Covered Entities under HIPAA.  Regarding the protected health information ("PHI") stored on your files, as outlined in our Privacy Notice, Backblaze does not access the content of the files you store with us.
