Is Create.xyz HIPAA compliant?
No. Create.xyz is not HIPAA compliant.
Create.xyz does not sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and hosts your app on non-compliant infrastructure. To handle Protected Health Information, you need to export your code and deploy on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure like Google Cloud.
Why Create.xyz isn't HIPAA compliant
Create.xyz does not sign Business Associate Agreements
A BAA is a legal contract required by HIPAA before any third party can access Protected Health Information (PHI). Without a BAA, using the platform to process PHI is a HIPAA violation.
Your app runs on shared, non-compliant infrastructure
Create.xyz hosts your app on shared cloud servers alongside other users' applications with no HIPAA-specific isolation, encryption guarantees, or access controls.
No audit logging for PHI access
HIPAA requires a complete audit trail of who accessed PHI, when, and why. No-code platforms don't provide this level of logging.
No control over data storage or encryption
You can't configure encryption at rest, manage encryption keys, or control where Create.xyz stores your data — all of which HIPAA requires.
Third-party data processing without safeguards
Create.xyz may process, cache, or transmit your app's data through systems that haven't been evaluated for HIPAA compliance.
What HIPAA actually requires
Business Associate Agreement
Every third party that accesses PHI must sign a BAA. Your cloud provider, database host, and auth service all need one.
Encryption at rest & in transit
All PHI must be encrypted when stored (AES-256) and during transmission (TLS 1.2+). You must control your own encryption keys.
Access controls & authentication
Role-based access, multi-factor authentication, automatic session timeouts, and unique user IDs for everyone accessing PHI.
Audit logging
Complete trail of who accessed PHI, when, what they did, and from where. Logs must be tamper-proof and retained for 6 years.
Backup & disaster recovery
PHI must be recoverable. You need automated backups, tested recovery procedures, and a documented disaster recovery plan.
Minimum necessary access
Users and systems should only access the minimum PHI needed for their function. No blanket access to all records.
How to make your Create.xyz app HIPAA compliant
You'll need to export your code from Create.xyz and deploy on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure. Here's the step-by-step process.
Export your code from Create.xyz
Most no-code platforms let you export or eject your source code. Download your full project including frontend, backend, and database schema.
Set up a Google Cloud project
Create a new Google Cloud project with organization-level HIPAA compliance enabled. Google Cloud is HIPAA-eligible and will sign a BAA.
Sign a BAA with Google Cloud
Accept the Google Cloud BAA through your organization settings. This is required before any PHI touches Google infrastructure.
Deploy your database on Cloud SQL
Set up Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL with encryption at rest enabled. Migrate your data from the original database. Cloud SQL is covered under Google's BAA.
Deploy your backend on Cloud Run
Containerize your backend and deploy on Cloud Run with VPC networking. Cloud Run is HIPAA-eligible and scales automatically.
Configure Identity Platform for auth
Set up Google Cloud Identity Platform with multi-factor authentication, session timeouts, and role-based access controls.
Implement audit logging
Enable Cloud Audit Logs for infrastructure access. Add application-level logging for all PHI access, modifications, and deletions.
Get a security audit
Have a professional review your entire setup — infrastructure, application code, and policies — before handling real PHI.
Recommended HIPAA-compliant infrastructure
We recommend Google Cloud for most projects. All services below are covered under their BAA.
| Purpose | Google Cloud | AWS Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Database | Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL | Amazon RDS |
| Backend hosting | Cloud Run | AWS Fargate |
| Authentication | Identity Platform | Amazon Cognito |
| File storage | Cloud Storage | Amazon S3 |
| Encryption keys | Cloud KMS | AWS KMS |
| Audit logging | Cloud Audit Logs | AWS CloudTrail |
| WAF & DDoS protection | Cloud Armor | AWS WAF + Shield |
No AI tool is HIPAA compliant
This applies to every AI coding tool and no-code platform — not just Create.xyz.
Frequently asked questions
Is Create.xyz HIPAA compliant?
No. Create.xyz is not HIPAA compliant. It does not sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) and its infrastructure has not been certified for handling Protected Health Information (PHI).
Can I build a HIPAA-compliant app with Create.xyz?
You can use Create.xyz to build the initial version of your app, but you cannot run it on Create.xyz's platform if it handles PHI. You'll need to export your code from Create.xyz first, then deploy on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure like Google Cloud.
Does Create.xyz sign a BAA?
No. Create.xyz does not currently offer Business Associate Agreements. Without a BAA, using their platform to process PHI is a direct HIPAA violation.
What cloud provider should I use for HIPAA compliance?
Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure all offer HIPAA-eligible services and will sign BAAs. We recommend Google Cloud for most projects — Cloud SQL for your database, Cloud Run for your backend, and Identity Platform for authentication.
What happens if I violate HIPAA?
HIPAA violations carry fines from $141 to $71,162 per violation, up to $2,134,831 per year for repeated violations of the same provision. Criminal penalties can include up to 10 years in prison for intentional violations.
How much does it cost to make a Create.xyz app HIPAA compliant?
Infrastructure costs on Google Cloud typically run $50–200/month for a small healthcare app. The initial migration and security implementation usually costs $3,000–15,000 depending on app complexity. A professional security audit adds $1,000–5,000.
Can I use Supabase or Firebase for a HIPAA app?
Firebase can be HIPAA-eligible if you sign a BAA with Google Cloud and follow their compliance guide. Supabase does not currently offer BAAs and cannot be used for PHI. We recommend Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL as a simpler, fully-covered option.
