The HIPAA BAA Trap: How One Signature Could Nuke Your SaaS
You've nailed a killer SaaS tool. A hospital bites. Then bam—BAA hits your inbox. Ignore it, and you're liable for breaches that bankrupt you.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- BAAs make you fully liable for PHI—treat compliance as core engineering, not legal checkbox.
- Audit your entire stack; one non-BAA vendor like Slack with PHI logs can sink you.
- Big clouds profit from BAAs, locking in healthcare; indies must rebuild or die.
