HIPAA AWS Hardened Images

Apollo provides supported AWS images that can help teams establish and test the operating-system layer of workloads that create, receive, maintain, or transmit ePHI.

Responsibility boundary:No virtual machine image makes a workload or organization HIPAA compliant. Covered entities and business associates remain responsible for risk analysis, required safeguards, documentation, and the complete system.
