Solo el personal adecuado accede a la información médica protegida (PHI)

Keep Processing and Storage in Canada

PHIPA eSignature FAQ
What is PHIPA?
PHIPA, the Personal Health Information Protection Act, is Ontario's health-data privacy law governing how personal health information is collected, used, disclosed, and protected.
Is Sign.Plus PHIPA compliant?
Yes, Sign.Plus supports PHIPA-aligned workflows for eligible Enterprise organizations that enable Advanced Security Controls and sign a PHIPA Agent Agreement.
How do I activate PHIPA compliance in Sign.Plus?
Choose an Enterprise plan, activate Advanced Security Controls, request and sign the PHIPA Agent Agreement from Regulatory Compliance settings, and complete the agreement validation process. Once validated, the PHIPA status is reflected in your account.
Do I need a BAA for PHIPA?
No. A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is used for HIPAA. For PHIPA, eligible customers sign a PHIPA Agent Agreement instead, reflecting Sign.Plus's role as an agent under PHIPA section 17.
Does Sign.Plus offer Canadian data residency?
Yes. Eligible Enterprise customers can select a Canadian data residency location for Sign.Plus, including Toronto. PHIPA does not generally require personal health information to remain in Ontario, so organizations should choose residency settings based on their own requirements.
