Google supports Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance (within the scope of a Business Associate Agreement) but ultimately customers are responsible for evaluating their own HIPAA compliance, including when using the SecOps Services.
“Covered Services" means the In-Scope Services, excluding the Excluded Services, each as defined below.
1. In-Scope Services. The Business Associate Agreement (BAA) covers the SecOps services described below (the “In-Scope Services”)
2. Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the BAA does not cover the following features or uses for the In-Scope Services (the “Excluded Features”):
a. third party services other than services provided by (i) a Google Affiliate or (ii) a cloud based infrastructure provider included in the Services
b. any on-demand analyst support
c. any non-Google services, software or hardware provided to Google personnel in connection with a Mandiant Consulting Services engagement
d. any API Integration tool that is not secure
e. any Services that are not generally available, including beta features and previews
