Healthcare Compliance

Routiq is designed with healthcare compliance in mind. We implement industry-standard security controls to protect patient data.

HIPAA Alignment

While Routiq is not currently HIPAA certified, we implement HIPAA-aligned security controls:
  • Data Encryption: AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit
  • Access Controls: Role-based permissions and row-level security
  • Audit Logs: Complete tracking of all data access (retained for 7 years)
  • Secure Infrastructure: SOC 2 Type II certified cloud providers
If you’re subject to HIPAA requirements, consult your compliance officer before using messaging features for Protected Health Information (PHI).
