Is Prisma Client HIPAA Compliant?

[rronalddas]

Hi, I am planning to use Prisma for a new project, that will deal with Healthcare data. Since Prisma Client uses a Rust Binary internally, am wondering if it is HIPAA compliant?

Hi @rronalddas, I can unfortunately not give you advise on if Prisma Client is HIPAA compliant or not - I just do not know enough about that and we did not have this question before.

What I can tell you is that the Rust binary is downloaded right next to the Client library, and runs next to it on your deployment or computer when you use Prisma Client. That binary then talks to your database server as and database client library also does. There are no Prisma servers, or anything external involved.

@janpio Thanks for the quick reply, this was actually a blocker, since i wasn't sure if the rust binary collected any data for analytics purpose to be used by Prisma.
