How Xano keeps data secure and Private
Data Security
All data stored within Xano is encrypted at rest. Transmission of data is done securely over SSL. Access to workspaces is limited to the team settings defined on the instance, which is governed by the owner of the instance. Additionally, all of Xano's servers are hosted on Google Cloud which is fully HIPAA compliant.
To be compliant, you must be on an Enterprise Plan which provides them with a dedicated instance for processing, storing, or transmitting ePHI. Additional workspaces can be used for separating personally identifiable information from the main workspace, or a 3rd party vault server can be used instead.
